Results vary across time.gov: of 9 URLs tested, 1 is disrupted some of the time, 6 load normally and 2 have no conclusive recent result. 100 tests have been run under this domain since 2015-05-31, the most recent on 2026-08-24.

Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://time.gov is intermittent, https://time.gov is not blocked.

The two are filtered by different means — an unencrypted request by the address and keywords it carries in the clear, an encrypted one by the server name in its TLS handshake — so one working while the other does not is normal.
