Whenever avast is not blocking through the shields getting to a site or WOT or Google Safebrowsing or Bitdefender TrafficLight block a site,
a site could also be offline for other reasons and temporarily not available.
You could check with web bug tool, see:
http://www.cyberspyder.com/webbug.html
(allow as avast pop may detect this program when first launched)
See attached image, but you could also check online...
Check for instance like this:
http://doj.me/?url=ask.com
Or use:
http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ask.com
or:
http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/
You can also use:
http://www.checksite.us/
Or Netirk:
http://www.netirk.com/
Nice knowledge base:

What service do you use by the way?

Hi Polonus,
For extreme cases, or when I can't reach the specified URL, I check with
Web-Sniffer

Depends...if testing a site, generally malzilla. You can see the status of the site in the response. Normal browsing, downforme (through the FlagFox addon - just right click the flag in the address bar)
