So I made a tool:<br><br> 👉 <a href="https://WebsiteDown.xyz" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://WebsiteDown.xyz</a></p> <h3> What it does </h3> <ul> <li>Checks if a website is down — right now </li> <li>Gives you a clean status report </li> <li>Shows uptime history </li> <li>Explains possible reasons </li> <li>No login needed</li> </ul> <p>It’s fast, free, and works on both desktop and mobile.</p> <h3> Why I built it </h3> <p>Other tools felt bloated. Some had ads. Some were confusing.</p> <p>I wanted something simple, clean, and developer-friendly.<br><br> So I made one. No popups. No noise. Just answers.</p> <h3> Bonus features </h3> <ul> <li>AI writes short outage summaries </li> <li>You can track multiple domains </li> <li>Public status pages are coming soon </li> <li>API is available (if you like to automate)</li> </ul> <h3> Try it </h3> <p>🔗 <a href="https://WebsiteDown.xyz" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://WebsiteDown.xyz</a></p> <p>Let me know what you think.<br><br> And if you break it, I’ll fix it :)</p> <p><strong>PS:</strong> Yes, it handles redirects, cloud blocks, and 403s too.</p> tooling webdev
