Frequently Asked Questions

How does this work?

When you enter a URL, our tool attempts to connect to the website's server. If the server responds successfully, we mark the site as UP. If the connection fails or times out, we mark it as DOWN. This check is independent of your own internet connection.

What does it mean if a site is "UP" but I still can't access it?

If our tool says a site is UP, it means the server is running and accessible from the public internet. If you can't access it, the problem is likely on your end. This could be due to your local network, ISP issues, a firewall, or a country-level block. Read our guide below for steps to fix this!

Can you check sites that require a login?

Yes. Our tool only checks if the server for the domain is responding. It does not attempt to log in or access any specific pages beyond the main address, so it works for any public-facing website, regardless of whether it has a login system.

A Site is UP, But You Still Can't Access It? Here's What to Do.

A guide to troubleshooting your local connection.

It's one of the most frustrating modern problems: you try to visit a website, it fails to load, but our tool says it's **UP** and working for everyone else. This means the website's server is healthy and responding. The problem, therefore, lies somewhere between your computer and that server. Don't worry, this is almost always fixable. Follow these steps, from simplest to most advanced, to narrow down and solve the issue.

Step 1: The Simple Fixes (Your Browser)

Often, the problem is just a simple glitch in your browser. Start here.

  • Do a "Hard Refresh": Your browser stores (caches) old versions of websites to make them load faster. Sometimes, this cache is outdated or corrupt. A hard refresh forces the browser to download a brand new copy.
    • **Windows/Linux:** Press `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `R`
    • **Mac (Chrome/Firefox):** Press `Cmd` + `Shift` + `R`
    • **Mac (Safari):** Press `Cmd` + `Option` + `R`
  • Try a Different Browser: This is a key test. If the site works in Chrome but not in Safari, you know the problem is with Safari. Try opening the site in a browser you don't normally use (like Firefox, Edge, or Brave).
  • Try Incognito or Private Mode: This special mode loads the site without any of your extensions, cookies, or cached data. If the site works in Incognito Mode, the problem is almost certainly a faulty browser extension. Go back to your normal browser and disable your extensions one by one until you find the culprit.
  • Clear Your Browser Cache: If the hard refresh didn't work, the next step is to clear your *entire* browser cache. Go to your browser's **Settings** menu, find the "Privacy and Security" section, and look for an option to "Clear Browsing Data" or "Clear Cache."

Step 2: The Network Fixes (Your Connection)

If browser tricks don't work, the problem may be with your network connection or the "phonebook of the internet" your computer is using.

  • Reboot Your Router: This is the classic, "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" solution for a reason. Unplug your internet router's power, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. This clears its temporary memory and can solve a host of mysterious connection issues.
  • Flush Your DNS Cache: Your computer keeps its own cache of website addresses (DNS). If this cache is wrong, it might be sending you to an old, incorrect IP address. Flushing it forces your computer to look up the "phone number" for the website again.
    • **On Windows:** Open Command Prompt and type `ipconfig /flushdns` and press Enter.
    • **On Mac:** Open Terminal and type `sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder` and press Enter (you'll need your password).
  • Change Your DNS Server:** By default, you use your Internet Service Provider's (ISP) DNS server, which can sometimes be slow or outdated. You can manually switch to a free, fast, and reliable public DNS server. Two popular choices are:
    • **Cloudflare:** `1.1.1.1` and `1.0.0.1`
    • **Google:** `8.8.8.8` and `8.8.4.4`
    You can find settings to change this in your computer's Network Settings or in your router's admin panel.

Step 3: The Security Fixes (Software Blocks)

Sometimes, the software designed to protect you can be a little *too* aggressive and accidentally block a safe website.

  • Check Your VPN:** If you are using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), try disconnecting from it. The website you're visiting might be blocking the IP address of your VPN server. If it works, try connecting to a different server location in your VPN app.
  • Check Your Firewall or Antivirus:** Your antivirus or firewall software could be misidentifying the website as a threat. Try *temporarily* disabling your firewall or antivirus, then visit the site. **Important:** Only do this for a moment to test, and be sure to turn your security back on immediately afterward!

By following these steps, you can solve over 99% of "it's just me" website issues. If you've tried all of this and the site *still* won't load, the last test is to try it on your phone using **cellular data** (not Wi-Fi). If it loads on your phone, the problem is definitively with your home network or ISP.
