## What it is
A web application that displays a list of public IPFS gateways and checks whether each is online, including CORS, IPNS, origin isolation, and verifiable response support. It is maintained by the IPFS project and hosted on GitHub Pages.

## Use cases
- find a public ipfs gateway that is currently online
- check which ipfs gateways support cors
- compare ipfs gateways for origin isolation before loading dapps
- monitor status of public ipfs http gateways
- find tor onion ipfs gateways
- pick a gateway for demoing ipfs content over http

## When to choose
- you need a quick, community-maintained list of public IPFS gateways with live status
- you want to verify gateway features like CORS, IPNS, or subdomain origin isolation
- you are testing or demoing IPFS content and need a working gateway URL

## When to avoid
- you need a production gateway with an SLA - self-host an IPFS stack instead
- you need programmatic gateway health monitoring with alerting
- you need a general-purpose uptime monitoring tool
