When a site will not load, the first question is always the same: is it them or is it me? Farping exists to answer that quickly, from a phone or a desktop, without jargon.
Most status checkers give you a single word. Farping also tries the site from your own browser, so it can tell the difference between an outage and a problem on your network. It then shows the evidence: the status code and what it means, how long the server took, every redirect along the way and, where we can read it, when the security certificate expires.
Principles
- Plain words first. Every result leads with a sentence a non-technical person can act on.
- No invented numbers. We do not show made-up user reports, outage maps or visitor counts.
- Gentle on the web. One ordinary request per check, honest identification, strict limits.
- Light on your data. Your history stays in your browser. See the privacy policy.
Independence
Farping is not affiliated with any of the sites people check with it. Names such as YouTube or WhatsApp appear only so you can check them quickly, and belong to their owners.
The site may show advertising or affiliate links to cover its running costs. When it does, they are labelled, and they never change a result.
