Is it you or is it the site? It happens. Websites go down, meaning they become inaccessible to users surfing the web for various reasons – the servers they’re hosted on need scheduled maintenance, hardware malfunctions, etc. A good webhost will have redundancies in place so that the sites they manage experience minimal interference during maintenance procedures or unexpected interruptions, but from a user’s perspective one can’t always tell if an unavailable website is because of an external condition.

Fortunately, a sparse but useful tool exists for you to test a suspected down-age. It is so simple, its use requires no explanation AND it has a sense of humor (which always helps when we are uncertain about something).
