Response time by location, last 24 hours
| Location | Average response | Reached |
|---|---|---|
| Berlin 1, Germany | 658 ms | 12 of 33 checks |
| Falkenstein, Germany | 658 ms | 12 of 33 checks |
| Berlin 2, Germany | 696 ms | 12 of 33 checks |
Each check runs from all locations at once. A location far from the site’s servers answers later; that says nothing about the site being slow.

About Open Library
Welcome to Open Library | Open Library
Open Library is an open, editable library catalog, building towards a web page for every book ever published. Read, borrow, and discover more than 3M books for free.
Visit openlibrary.orgTitle and description as published by the site.
We can reach it, but you cannot?
- Reload the page without the cache: Ctrl + F5 on Windows, Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac.
- Open the site in a private window. If it works there, clear the cookies and cache for openlibrary.org.
- Try another network, such as mobile data. If that works, the problem is with your provider or router.
- Switch to a public DNS resolver such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, then flush your DNS cache.
- Turn off VPNs, proxies and ad blockers for a moment. Some sites refuse those connections.
