website crash

Site goes down

A website crash is when a site becomes unavailable or stops functioning, typically from overwhelming traffic, server failures, or software errors.

High-profile launches or viral moments often crash sites: The ticket site crashed within seconds of sales opening.

Unlike a gradual slowdown, a crash suggests sudden, complete failure.
