Is Akamai down, or is it just you?
Multiple independent check rounds from rimetry's monitoring infrastructure, run seconds apart.
Our checks reached Akamai successfully in every round of the last check cycle.
| Check round | Last check | Success rate (24h) | Avg response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Reachable | 100% | 623 ms |
| Round 2 | Reachable | 100% | 597 ms |
| Round 3 | Reachable | 100% | 537 ms |
| Round 4 | Reachable | 100% | 561 ms |
Based on 360 automated checks in the last 24 hours. Each round is an independent pass over the same endpoint, seconds apart — a single failing round is not an outage; repeated failures across rounds are.
What can be affected on Akamai?
These are the main Akamai functions that can experience separate issues.
- CDN / edge deliveryCompare a cached asset with a direct origin request
- DNSTest resolution with a second resolver before changing settings
- Web security & WAFCheck whether a security rule, not an outage, is blocking traffic
- DashboardThe dashboard can be down while the underlying service still runs
- APICheck whether the API behaves differently from the web interface
- Origin connectivityConfirm your own origin is reachable before assuming an edge fault
This list shows which parts can fail on their own. It does not mean any of them is failing right now — the live status above is the only claim we make about the current state.

About Akamai
Akamai provides global content delivery network services, edge computing, and web security solutions that keep websites and applications fast and secure. Organizations deploy Akamai to offload traffic, mitigate DDoS attacks, and deliver media assets via its distributed network of edge servers. When the service experiences issues, users might encounter DNS resolution failures, high latency in asset delivery, or errors in the Akamai Control Center. Companies relying on these edge services visit Rimetry to see if the problem is localized or widespread. Rimetry maintains a persistent watch over these infrastructure components to document any significant drops in global performance.
Problems with Akamai can affect cdn / edge delivery, dns, web security & waf independently.
Akamai (akamai.com) is a hosting & cdn service monitored continuously by rimetry's automated checks. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds in repeated independent rounds to detect outages and latency spikes the moment they happen.
Right now Akamai is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 38 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to akamai.com are seeing it work normally.
Common causes of disruption for services like Akamai include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.

What is Akamai?
Global CDN, security and edge platform.
Akamai is part of our Hosting & CDN category. You can also review current trending outages across the internet.
Common issues
- · 5xx errors served from the edge
- · Slow asset delivery in specific regions
- · DNS resolution failures
- · Certificate warnings
Similar patterns often surface across other hosting & cdn providers — cross-check against the global outage map.
Troubleshooting
- · Compare a cached asset with a direct origin request
- · Test resolution with a second resolver before changing settings
- · Check whether a security rule, not an outage, is blocking traffic
- · The dashboard can be down while the underlying service still runs
- · Compare a cached asset with an uncached one to isolate edge vs origin
- · Check DNS resolution from more than one resolver
- · Look at HTTP status codes: 5xx from the edge points at the provider
- · Purge cache only after confirming the origin is healthy
- · Test from another network — CDN issues are frequently regional
- · Check Akamai's official social channels
Not sure whether it's you or the service? Run a live speed test, check what your IP looks like from the edge, or watch for regional trouble on the worldwide outage map. For the wider picture, browse recent incidents or filter down to hosting & cdn.
