Few things are more stressful than realizing your website isn’t loading. But before you panic and start digging through your hosting dashboard, there’s a quick and reliable way to check if the problem is on your end — or if your entire site is actually down. That’s where Down for Me or Everyone comes in.

This free tool lets you instantly verify whether your website is offline globally or just for you. Here’s how to use it effectively:
1. Visit the Site
Go to downforeveryoneorjustme.com. It’s completely free and doesn’t require sign-up.
2. Enter Your Website URL
Type your website’s full URL — for example, www.yourdomain.com — into the search bar.
3. Click “Or Just Me?”
Hit enter or click the button. Within seconds, the site will tell you whether your website is accessible to others or not.
4. Interpret the Results
-
If it says “It’s just you,” your site is working fine globally, and the issue is likely local (like your browser cache or DNS).
-
If it says “It’s down for everyone,” your server or hosting provider may be having issues.
Pro Tips:
-
Double-check with another tool like Uptime Robot to confirm uptime data.
-
If you’re using Cloudflare, check their status page — sometimes the issue lies there.
-
Restart your router or clear browser cache before assuming a full outage.
This tool has saved me countless times when troubleshooting — and it’s fast, free, and accurate. Every website owner should have it bookmarked.
