For the better part of a wk, I have not been able to access irs.gov. No other problems except an intermittent problem getting google.com to search.
Was not able to get irs.gov using 2 different macs and Chrome and Safari browsers on each. Also cleared the cache for both browsers on one of the macs w/ no success. And rebooted the mac at one point.e
Also used one of those websites to search whether the irs site was down this AM. The site said the irs website was up and the problem was an individual problem with me.
Just before I came here to ask for help, I tried the irs site again and...........
of course.........it is (or at least was) up.
Does this mean the website that tells you whether a website is up or not is not current? Or does it take time for clearing the cache to take effect?
Happy to have access to irs.gov again but a bit mystified.
edit to add: and after I posted this I went back and again couldn't access irs.gov
