site down
Lower onto chairs
Site down describes a website or online service that is unavailable or not functioning: The site's down—try again later.
Common in casual tech talk, it can refer to scheduled maintenance, server problems, or outages.
The phrase often appears as a question when something won't load: Is the site down or is it just me?
