Hey everyone,

I've built a website that I'm hoping reaches users in Asia too. But I'm a bit worried. Just because it's up and running from where I am doesn't mean everyone in Asia can see it. There can be regional internet issues or even country restrictions I'm not aware of. Does anyone know a simple way to check if my site is accessible from various parts of Asia? Thanks!

For a quick check https://onlineornot.com/website-down-checker?url=https://des... but you probably want a tool that emails you when the website is down. Look for "Website monitoring", there's dozens of services and most have a free tier. https://uptimerobot.com/ https://www.statuscake.com/

worth noting that OnlineOrNot also has a free tier that monitors your website

For fast check use this tool https://pulsetic.com/is-website-down/

But, if you want to monitor your website, create an account and add it to the system alerts.

If you're getting a decent amount of traffic then chances are some will live in Asia.

You could try installing an analytics tool line mine that will tell you where visitors are coming from. It won't tell you if the website is blocked in a certain country or region, but it's a start!

Alternatively, I did a little check online and comparitech.com will tell you if your site is blocked in China. There's probably not much you can do about North Korea TBH!

Best of luck anyway!
