checked responded in 58msHTTP 403

We've just started monitoring Akamai. Live status, response times, and outage history will build up here over the coming days.

Akamai runs one of the oldest and largest content delivery and edge security networks, plus DNS and cloud compute after the Linode acquisition. Because so much enterprise traffic and DNS resolution passes through it, its incidents tend to look like broad internet-wide breakage rather than one site failing.

Is Akamai down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Akamai normally right now, and it answered our last one in 58ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.

Measured since 2026-08-12. Windows reaching further back are averaged over the 38 days we watched, not the full period. Counts our own checks. Days Akamai reported an incident are coloured in the timeline above but do not change this figure.

What to do if Akamai is down for just you

  • Check whether the problem is limited to one region before assuming a global outage, since most cloud incidents are regional.
  • Query a second DNS resolver (1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) to rule out a resolution problem rather than a provider one.
  • Test from a different network or a machine outside the affected region, which separates a routing issue from a service issue.
  • Look at the provider's own per-service dashboard below, as one product can be degraded while everything else is healthy.
