Check Website Status Multiple Locations

Our company web sites were reported to be down momentarily. I didn't know if this was just a sporadic issue with routing from a handful of places around the world, and therefore out of our control, or something much worse.

I needed to test connectivity to our sites from multiple locations around the world. Instead of using multiple proxies, there are web sites that will do the tests for you. Some are good and some are useless.

This one I found in the end was pretty good. It does a test from various global locations and even reports how long it took to download X number of bytes and other useful stats:

Just enter your site url into the box and click the "Check" button.
