Is my website down for everyone or just me?

Answer that first. It decides whether the fault is on your side or the site's.

How to tell, in two minutes

1. Try another network. Open the site on your phone with Wi-Fi off. If it loads there, the site is up and your own connection or computer is the problem.
2. Ask a checker. downforeveryoneorjustme.com or isitdownrightnow.com test from their own servers.
3. Read the exact error. "Server not found" or ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED is DNS or an expired domain. 500, 502, 503 or 504 is the server. A Cloudflare page with a number is the server behind Cloudflare. "Account suspended" is the host's billing.

If it is down for everyone

1. Check your registrar: is the domain renewed?
2. Check your host's status page and your email for a suspension or billing notice.
3. Check your host's panel: is the server running, is the disk full?
4. Undo the last change: a plugin update, a theme switch, a DNS edit.

If it is down only for you

1. Restart the router. Clear the browser cache or try a private window.
2. Your own IP may be blocked by a security plugin after failed logins. Ask your host to check.

Send me the address and I will tell you which of these it is.
