Is DuckDuckGo down right now?

duckduckgo.com — live status, response speed and SSL.

Is it down for everyone or just you?

The check above runs from our servers, not your device. If it says duckduckgo.com is responding but the site won't load for you, the problem is local. Restart your router, try your phone's data instead of wi-fi, clear your DNS cache, and switch off browser extensions one at a time.

Using DuckDuckGo safely

Search engines are safe to use. Be careful with sponsored results at the top of the page, which are ads and sometimes lead to copycat sites.

A full report adds a Trust Index, community reports and safer alternatives.
