How To Check if Your Squarespace Website Is Down

The last thing you want is for your Squarespace website to go down. Unfortunately it does happen sometimes and you need to be able to quickly work out what the problem is.

There are tons of reasons why a Squarespace website may go down, you might have a problem with your hosting or you might have simply let your subscription lapse.

Sometimes though it will be because Squarespace itself is down.
