Is Target down right now?

Operational. We reached Target from all 2 regions we check.

How does RealUptime check if Target is down?

RealUptime checks Target with scheduled HTTP probes against its public, unauthenticated functional endpoints, run from named regions on a fixed cadence, plus an extra confirmation probe whenever a signal suggests a problem. This verifies that the functional endpoints we probe actually answer, not that every feature of Target works end to end.

What does "degraded" mean for Target?

Degraded means Target answered our probe but at several times its own seven-day median response time. Degraded only ever applies to a reading that answered: a surface that is down, or one that refused our probe, is reported as down or awaiting data instead, never softened into "degraded".

What is Target's current response time?

RealUptime's most recent measured response time for Target, by region: US-East: 593 ms, US-West: 1007 ms. This is the latest single probe reading per region, not an average.

When did RealUptime last check Target?

RealUptime's probes last checked Target at 2026-10-05T19:57:26.661Z.

Target's online store serves United States shoppers, so we check it from our US regions only.

Is it Target, or is it you?

Watching an outage above does not tell you whether your own connection or site is also having a problem. Enter your own URL for one live check, right now, no signup. This checks the site you enter, not Target -- it cannot diagnose Target's own systems.

These are unverified reports from people using Target, counted separately from what our own probes measure. Anyone can file one, no account is needed, and the region on a report is chosen by the person filing it. We never open, extend or close an outage in our record based on report volume: only our own measurements do that. We have not received any reports for Target yet, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.

Recent outages

No outages on record yet for Target.

measured entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works

We have been measuring Target since August 20, 2026. We show nothing from before that date, and we never add an outage we did not observe ourselves, from any source.

The badge shows the share of our probes that succeeded over the last 30 days, and the window is printed on it so the number always says what period it covers. If our readings go stale it says stale, and if we have no readings it says so: it will not show green on data we cannot vouch for. Free, no account, and it links back here. See how the badge works for every window and the honesty rules behind it.

What Target's SLA implies, from our measurement

Window

What you pay per month

Uptime target in your contract

Include outages only one region saw (none)

At or above your target

We measured none of downtime for Target over the last 30 days, which is 100% uptime by our reading. A 99.9% target allows 43 minutes over that period.

By our measurement there is no shortfall to claim for this period.

This is computed from our own probe measurements, not from Target's SLA instrumentation. Their contract is normally measured against their own systems, with their own exclusions and a claim window, so their figure and ours will differ. Use this to start the conversation and ask for their number. It is not legal advice and it is not a determination of what you are owed.

RealUptime is not affiliated with Target; the name identifies what we measured, and nothing here speaks for Target's own team. We send a single web request to Target from 2 regions on our own schedule and time the response. We do not see inside Target's systems, do not use an account or real transaction, and are not the same signal Target's own team has access to. Treat this as one external data point, not a verdict. At least one endpoint we check for Target is a real functional API call (marked “functional” above), not just a landing page, so a clean read there is a stronger signal than reachability alone, though it still does not cover every feature of the service. Target's online store serves United States shoppers, so we check it from our US regions only. Read the full methodology.
