# How should I interpret “Both UP”, “Both DOWN”, and mixed results?

- **Both UP** — the site is reachable from both locations.
- **Both DOWN** — likely a global outage or server‑side problem.
- **Local DOWN, France UP** — likely an issue on your side (network, VPN, ISP routing, IP block).
- **Local UP, France DOWN** — likely regional filtering, CDN/WAF rules, or an external routing issue.
- **External unavailable** — local result is valid, but external verification couldn’t be completed.
