Investigator Use
Down For Everyone Or Just Me (downforeveryoneorjustme.com) is a website availability checking tool that determines whether a specific website is genuinely down for all users globally or is only inaccessible from the investigator's current location or network configuration.
For OSINT investigators, website availability checking provides important context for web-based investigation. When a target website appears inaccessible, the distinction between "globally down" and "only inaccessible from my location" has significant investigative implications.
Geo-blocking detection is a primary application. If a website is accessible globally but not from the investigator's location, it may be implementing geographic access restrictions — potentially blocking certain countries or ISP ranges. This finding suggests using a VPN server in an appropriate location to access the content.
Evidence preservation timing uses website downtime information to assess whether a target website has been taken down following an incident (indicating awareness of the investigation or compliance action), or is experiencing technical outages unrelated to the investigation.
For active investigation monitoring, checking whether a fraudulent, phishing, or malicious website has been taken down (globally inaccessible) versus is still operational (globally accessible) helps track the status of infrastructure removal efforts.
Investigation planning is informed by knowing whether a target site is currently accessible — if globally down, the investigator should prioritize archiving any cached versions or previously downloaded copies rather than attempting to access the live site.
The tool provides a quick confirmation in seconds — saving investigative time compared to troubleshooting whether the inaccessibility is a local network issue, VPN misconfiguration, or actual site downtime.
Document the website checked, the availability result (up/down globally), the date and time of the check, and any implications for evidence preservation decisions.
