About Gmail
Gmail is Google's free email service, the largest in the world, used for personal mail and as the login for many other services. gmail.com redirects to the mail app on Google's servers, which also host Search, YouTube and Maps. If Gmail fails while other Google services work, the problem is usually on Google's side. If all Google services fail in one country at once, a local restriction or a provider problem is more likely.

Frequently asked questions
Is Gmail down right now?
Not for most of the world. In our latest check on 11 November 2026, 19:20 UTC gmail.com opened from 85 of 85 countries. If it does not open for you, the cause is more likely local: your provider, your network or a restriction in your country. Run a new check to see the current result for your country.
Why does Gmail not open in my country?
When gmail.com works in other countries but not in yours, there are three usual reasons: a restriction ordered by authorities, filtering by your provider, or a network problem between your provider and Gmail. A different security certificate, a reset connection or a wrong address from DNS are typical signs of filtering; a timeout can be either filtering or a network fault.
How is gmail.com checked?
From measurement points in about 90 countries we look up the address of gmail.com with the local DNS and open a secure connection to it, checking that the site returns its own certificate. We do not load the page content, and we do not publish which networks the measurements came from.
