Is Render down? Live status

Full-stack cloud & managed Postgres

Live Render.com reachability — dashboard, API and static-site edge checked from your browser.

Check live Render service availability on vercel.health by pinging dashboard, API, and static site edge infrastructure directly from your browser. Render is operational if its static CDN, web services dashboard, and build API return HTTP 200 responses with low latency — we provide real-time status diagnostics, incident tracking, and latency benchmarks for web services, background workers, and PostgreSQL databases hosted on Render.

Render's REST API requires an API key and does not permit cross-origin browser calls. These checks confirm DNS, TCP and TLS reachability of the marketing site, dashboard and API root only.

About Render

Render is a full-stack cloud offering static sites, web services, cron jobs, and managed Postgres — a Heroku-style alternative to Vercel and Netlify. It's the most common landing spot for teams that outgrow serverless.

Common Render issues

  • Free-tier cold start (30–60s)

    Free Web Services sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity and take up to a minute to warm back up. This is by design — the dashboard will still be green.

  • Deploy stuck on 'building'

    Render builds run in a Docker sandbox. Very large node_modules can push past the build memory limit and hang — check the build log for OOM signals.

  • Managed Postgres connection cap

    Starter Postgres plans cap at ~97 connections. Long-lived connections from serverless clients hit that ceiling fast — use pgBouncer or the Render connection pooler.

Background

Render was founded in 2019 by Anurag Goel as a modern PaaS aimed at replacing Heroku. Its differentiators are managed Postgres, native support for long-running services, and predictable pricing — the pieces that get awkward on serverless platforms like Vercel or Netlify.

Frequently asked

How do I check if Render is down?
Check vercel.health for live browser-side reachability tests across Render's dashboard and CDN. You can also monitor status.render.com for official incident reports, maintenance windows, and global service disruptions.
What causes 502 Bad Gateway errors on Render?
Render returns 502 errors when web services fail health checks, crash on startup, run out of memory, or exceed HTTP request timeout thresholds during heavy load.
Why is my Render web service sleeping or slow to load?
Render's free tier web services spin down after 15 minutes of inactivity. Incoming requests trigger a cold start that can take 50 seconds or more. Upgrading to a paid instance keeps your service persistently active.
What HTTP status codes indicate a Render outage?
HTTP 502 Bad Gateway and 504 Gateway Timeout typically indicate backend service failure or deployment crashes. HTTP 500 errors often reflect internal application exceptions rather than Render infrastructure outages.
How fast does Render recover from platform outages?
Render automatically restarts failed service instances and reroutes edge traffic. Core platform disruptions are typically mitigated within 30 to 60 minutes as tracked on official incident feeds.
Is Render down right now?
The dashboard above probes Render's public front-ends. For per-service incidents (Web Services, Postgres, Redis), see status.render.com.
Render vs Vercel — when to pick which?
Vercel wins on frontend + edge functions and Next.js DX. Render wins on long-running processes, background workers, managed Postgres, and predictable pricing at scale.

About this check

Checks run client-side from your browser against Render'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.
