    Hello.

    I'm just wondering, is there a way to check a site before visiting it? Or have it pre-load on another site in the most basic way possible?

    I'm having a loading issue with a site on one of my computers but not on another so I was wondering what it could be, but since I'm lazy to contact the people who don't even have anything other than a info@[name of site].com for contact info.

    Cheers.

    Not sure what you are asking, but you can check a site by pinging it in command prompt. There are also websites that monitor if a site is up or not.

    You can view sites in basic form via google cache. (unless they mark their site not to be cached)

    If it's loading fine on one computer, try disabling any addons or extensions you're running on the computer where the site doesn't work. It could be an ad blocker or script blocker that's causing the issue.

    If you want to load a broken but basic version of a website, try the internet archive or Google's cache feature.
