What to check first for OpenAI
For OpenAI, start by separating openai.com public reachability, prompt submission endpoint, and model response stream. A reachable openai.com does not prove every OpenAI workflow is healthy.
- Confirm openai.com reachability and compare it with Official website.
- Test prompt submission endpoint and model response stream before changing account, device, or DNS settings.
- If you see openai: responses stall after prompt submit, keep the timestamp, final URL, and failing action for support or incident review.
Official OpenAI sources
Use these provider-controlled or provider-owned sources after the live check, especially when the verdict is mixed or the issue only affects one workflow.
Official website
Confirms whether the primary openai.com web surface is reachable outside the WebsiteDown.org probe.
OpenAI Status
Official status page for ChatGPT and API systems.
OpenAI Help Center
Official support articles and request submission.
OpenAI Platform
Useful to confirm platform access vs consumer UI issues.
Common OpenAI outage signs
These patterns help distinguish full openai.com downtime from partial service degradation, account problems, or route-specific failures.
When OpenAI only fails for you
Use these steps when WebsiteDown.org or official sources suggest OpenAI is generally reachable, but your own session still fails.
- Run the live check for openai.com, then test both a new prompt and an existing conversation.
- Compare official OpenAI status with the exact error, model or feature, and timestamp.
- Avoid rapid retries if responses are timing out; wait a few minutes and retry from a second network.
How to check if OpenAI is down
Use this workflow to compare the WebsiteDown.org result with official sources, your own browser, and a second network before changing account or device settings.
How we check OpenAI
WebsiteDown.org checks public reachability for openai.com and separates that signal from product-specific symptoms inside OpenAI.
The OpenAI profile on this page is scoped to openai.com, categorized as AI Tools / Infra, and grouped under openai. It cross-checks related hosts (chatgpt.com, status.openai.com, platform.openai.com), uses verification sources such as Official website, OpenAI Status, OpenAI Help Center, OpenAI Platform, and compares nearby diagnostics including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity so parent, child, and sibling service outages do not get blended together.
- openai.com Public Reachability: Confirms whether openai.com responds from regional probes before you investigate OpenAI app-specific symptoms.
- Prompt Submission Endpoint: Tracks the prompt submission endpoint workflow as a separate OpenAI signal, useful when the homepage and user reports disagree.
- Model Response Stream: Media delivery can fail after the homepage responds, so playback, stream startup, or CDN symptoms need their own signal.
- Account And Quota Checks: Sign-in and session paths can fail while public OpenAI pages still load, so this is checked as a separate outage clue.
- Conversation History Loading: Tracks the conversation history loading workflow as a separate OpenAI signal, useful when the homepage and user reports disagree.
Why trust this OpenAI check?
WebsiteDown.org keeps the live verdict, official sources, and service profile separate so you can see what is measured and what still needs confirmation.
- The live result is a reachability signal for openai.com from multiple regions, not a claim that every private OpenAI workflow is healthy.
- The service profile is built from curated diagnostic fields: checked surfaces, failure modes, related hosts, official sources, and limitations.
- Official OpenAI links are shown separately so you can verify provider-controlled status and support information before escalating.
