What do I do if my site is not loading? Print

  • 0

If your site suddenly stops loading, before panicking run through these quick checks:

  1. Is it only on your connection? Try opening it from your phone on mobile data (not wifi) or via a tool like downforeveryoneorjustme.com. Sometimes the issue is your ISP or a local DNS cache.
  2. When did it stop working? If it was right after installing a plugin, updating WordPress or editing .htaccess, that is the lead.
  3. Is there a message? A "500 Error" points to code or configuration, a "403" to permissions, a "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" to an expired domain or bad nameservers.
  4. Is your domain expired? Sign in to your client area and check. An expired domain takes the site down without warning.

If none of this gives you a clue, open a ticket and let us know what you already checked. That way we do not repeat steps and jump straight to the problem.
