Is Vercel down? Live edge & build status

Frontend cloud & edge network

Live Vercel platform reachability — edge network, dashboard and build API checked from your browser against Vercel's public front-ends.

Vercel is operational if its global edge network, build pipeline, and dashboard APIs respond with HTTP 200 status. Client-side health checks at vercel.health monitor real-time reachability to distinguish local network issues from global Vercel platform outages. Vercel platform health is monitored in real-time by probing public edge nodes, dashboard responsiveness, and build API endpoints. To verify if Vercel is experiencing an outage, check edge reachability, serverless function invocation latencies, and regional CDN delivery status.

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

How do I know if Vercel is down or if it is my site?
Check edge network responses, build queues, and platform status. If requests return 500 or 502 errors globally across multiple domains, Vercel is degraded. Isolated errors typically indicate code-level runtime bugs or environment variable issues.
What happens when Vercel experiences an outage?
Edge CDN caching continues serving static assets while dynamic Serverless and Edge functions may timeout or fail. Deployments in progress pause or queue until build pipelines and platform services recover.
How can I monitor Vercel uptime independently?
Use external synthetic monitors like vercel.health, probe deployment endpoints from multiple cloud regions, and configure third-party uptime alerts alongside official Vercel notifications.
How can I check if Vercel is currently down?
Check real-time Vercel status on vercel.health or Vercel's official status page (vercel-status.com). vercel.health performs client-side connectivity tests against Vercel's Edge Network, dashboard, and API endpoints directly from your browser.
Why does my site work while the Vercel dashboard is down?
Vercel separates edge runtime infrastructure from platform control planes. If the dashboard or build system experiences an outage, previously deployed websites on the global edge network generally continue serving traffic without interruption.
What are common causes of Vercel edge outages?
Vercel edge disruptions typically stem from DNS routing issues, major upstream cloud provider incidents (such as AWS us-east-1), distributed DDoS attacks, or malfunctioning edge middleware deployments.
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.
