Vercel does not return permissive CORS headers on api.vercel.com from a browser, so these checks confirm DNS, TCP and TLS reachability only — not the JSON body. For build queue, function invocation and regional edge incidents, see Vercel's official status page below.

Common Vercel issues

Build stuck in queue
Free-tier builds share a capacity pool. During peak hours or a platform incident, queue time can jump from seconds to many minutes even though the dashboard is green.
Edge Function 504 / cold start
Cold Edge Functions have a hard 1s init budget. Heavy imports at module scope (a whole ORM, a big markdown parser) will trip it — move expensive work inside the handler.
Preview deploy 404s on a fresh branch
Preview URLs go live only after the first successful build. A queued or failed build shows a generic 404 — check the deployment log, not the site.

Background

Vercel was founded in 2015 by Guillermo Rauch as ZEIT and rebranded to Vercel in 2020 alongside the rise of Next.js. It has grown into the default frontend cloud for React shops, with an edge network, serverless & edge functions, and preview deployments tightly integrated with Git. In 2024–2025 Vercel added the Vercel AI SDK and v0 as first-class parts of the platform.

Frequently asked

Is Vercel down right now?

The dashboard above polls Vercel's public front-ends and API root directly from your browser every 15 seconds. Green dots mean the edge, dashboard and REST API are reachable from your network.

Why do my builds queue while the dashboard is up?

Build capacity is a separate subsystem from the edge and dashboard. During large incidents build queues can back up while vercel.com stays fully reachable — check the official status page for build-queue notices.

Are edge function errors always an outage?

No. A 500 from an Edge Function is usually your code (a thrown error, a missing env var, a cold-start timeout). A real Vercel incident shows up as region-wide 5xx across many projects at once.

About this check

Checks run client-side from your browser against Vercel's public endpoints. Latency reflects your network path, not the server's health alone. See our resources for more on how to read these checks.
