Checking for websites being down

[booster]

As is semi-usual, the Olive Software site didn't want to load the Sunday newspaper today. It always seems to be a question of what is having problems, the computer connection, the hotspot, the 4G, the wireless modem, Qwest, Verizon, etc.

I just tried this website to check for if sites are up or down, and it actually worked. Showed the site down so I could quit checking other stuff.

The link shows the site I checked, but it takes you to a page the you enter whatever you need to check.
