Something stops loading and the first instinct is always the same: is this me, or is this everyone? Down For Everyone Or Just Me exists purely to answer that, fast, for practically anything you can name.
It monitors over 500 services — banks, streaming platforms, social media, ISPs, online games, payment apps, government sites, VPNs, crypto exchanges. Type in what's giving you trouble, or jump straight to its page for major services like Facebook, Steam, or your bank, and it tells you immediately whether the problem is widespread or isolated to you.
The category list alone is a fascinating snapshot of what modern life actually runs on — everything from Xbox Live and Roblox down to the IRS, TreasuryDirect, and FAFSA, from Chase and Wells Fargo to Doordash and Chick-fil-A's ordering system. If it's a service enough people rely on daily, there's a decent chance it's being tracked.
It's been running for 15 years, which in internet time makes it something close to an institution — a quiet, unglamorous utility that millions of people have hit during exactly the kind of moment that makes you irrationally angry at your own WiFi.
There's also a free "What Is My IP Address" tool tucked in, and an API for developers who want historical downtime data for their own monitoring needs.
Next time something won't load and you're three seconds from restarting your router for no reason, check here first. Ten seconds, and you'll actually know.
