Don’t be Left Wondering Why a Website Won’t Load…

 

 

Ever wonder why that page just won’t load? Is it  your computer, or the has the internet just lost it all together, maybe its a 404 of maybe you just took a wrong turn at 4chan.

By default the Firefox error page just tells you the page you are attempting to view is not available, but TryAgain displays actual useful information like is the site down for just you or for the world.

This extension simply swaps out the default error message  and instead displays useful information that it garners from Down For Everyone or Just Me? and Uptime Auditor.

It provides some other tools too; you can jump to the Google Cache of the site or even the WayBack archive if you really need to get a peek at the site. TryAgain also automatically reloads the page at intervals to establish contact without your intervention, making technology make you even lazier than before. Imagine.

TryAgain is a free app and works wherever Firefox does, so install it, test it out, it might come in handy, you don’t know. I certainly don’t know if the page you’re searching for is genuinely just lost to the internetz.
