Check Website Down
Verify if a website is down or if it's just your connection.
DownDetector
Real-time outage detection.
Crowdsourced outage reports from users worldwide. Shows outages across multiple services. Best for checking if others are experiencing issues too.
Why I picked this:
DownDetector is my first stop when a website seems down because it tells me if it's a widespread outage or just my connection. The crowdsourced reports give me real-time confirmation from users worldwide, which is invaluable for troubleshooting. I've used it to confirm outages for major services, and it's always accurate. It saves me from wasting time trying to fix something that's not my problem.
