Checks any website through a proxy (browsers block direct checks). Distinguishes "site down" from "your internet down".
Don't reinstall anything yet: first find out whether the site is down globally or just for you.
Steps
1Use the down checker
Enter the address in the Website Down Checker tool. UP for others but dead for you = your side.
2Try mobile data
Switch Wi-Fi to mobile data. Loads now? Your ISP or DNS is the problem.
3Try another browser
Works in another browser? Clear the first browser's cache for that site.
4Wait and retry
Real outages usually resolve in hours. Check the site's official social page for notices.
Good to know: If up for others but down for you on all networks, change DNS to 1.1.1.1 and retry.
