Checked 14h ago from real home networks
What this means: All 6 home networks reached gitlab.com. If it doesn't load for you, the problem is most likely local — your DNS cache, browser cache, VPN or ISP. See the checklist below.
The fastest answer came from 🇧🇩 BD (39 ms), the slowest from 🇵🇱 PL (104 ms) — 55 ms on average across 6 locations.
These probes come from the Sensmos network — 345 small devices running on ordinary home internet across 31 countries.
gitlab.com sits behind a CDN (anycast) — every probe reached the same address (172.65.251.78), but that address answers from a different edge server in each country, so it can't be pinned to one place. We measure the edge closest to each home network — which is exactly what a real visitor there talks to. The origin server behind it is invisible from the outside, and that's by design.
Each node makes a single HTTP request, the same way a browser does, and reports the response time from its own household connection. A data-center monitor can tell you a server is up — checks from real home networks show whether people can actually reach it, through real ISPs, real routing and the real last mile.
Down only for you? Quick checklist:
1. Hard-refresh (Ctrl+F5). 2. Try another browser or incognito. 3. Switch networks — try your phone's mobile data. 4. Flush DNS or switch resolver (1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8). 5. Turn off VPN/proxy. 6. Check the service's official status channels.
FAQ
Is gitlab.com down right now?
No — as of the last check (14h ago), gitlab.com was reachable from all 6 real home networks that probed it.
Why does gitlab.com work for some people but not for others?
Websites can fail regionally: geo-blocks, national ISP filtering, DNS differences, CDN or routing problems. A site behind a CDN is many servers — the copy you reach depends on where you are, so one country can be down while another is fine.
How is this check different from other "is it down" tools?
Most tools check from cloud datacenters or aggregate user complaints. UpFromWhere sends real HTTP requests from small devices on ordinary home internet connections in multiple countries — the same path a real visitor takes, including the ISP and the last mile.
