Old one, but a good one. This should be an essential part of lots of people's toolbox. It helps you see if a website is really down, or if it's just down because of issues on your own computer.

Love this - been using it for years. Oddly enough, last time I tried to use this it, it was down. Some kind of inception.

I use this all the time. Totally legit. As Jack said, Oldie but goodie.

I hunted this a few days ago :/ :P Anyways, its a very straightforward tool :)

Hey @_JackSmith - I have this saved on my new tab since I use it so often. Surprised it hadn't been posted a long time ago.

Thought this was some kind of tinder extension app when I first read the title. Something that checks if a match is "Down for everyone" or "just [you]"

Yes! I like to use this with an Alfred workflow: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic...

@eelcojellema cool; how's that work?
eelco
@_jacksmith I use Alfred for all these kind of sites (down for me, can i use, imdb); just install the workflow and you're good to go! in this case: type "down" and then the url.

This is good and very simple (minimalistic). But it lacks a bit of transparency - there is no info from how many locations a check is performed. There are similar tools that provide that information.

I would love to see a chrome extension version of this. When the browser fails to connect a site, the chrome extension can immediately check in the background.

Best thing about this platform is you can send a screenshot and a link to confirm it's not just you that can't access the site.... very hard to dispute that piece of proof

This only checks if a website is online from its own server, meaning if there's a single node down somewhere it'll give a false report
Ross Beale
@superpencil_ agreed. do you know any others that provide multi-node check as quick?

I love this site! It's been around a while but so useful.
