Unable to ping a particular website

[Coco423]

Using my LG Rebel phone running Android 5.1.1, I was able to ping the site. The site is ravib.com, the one posted. But, I was using a phone and not a PC. Here is the screenshot

Not unusual.
Reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_(networking_utility)

In case of error, the target host or an intermediate router sends back an ICMP error message, for example "host unreachable" or "TTL exceeded in transit". In addition, these messages include the first eight bytes of the original message (in this case header of the ICMP echo request, including the quench value), so the ping utility can match responses to originating queries.

But that does not really tell you what is wrong with the site. It just tells you that the ping does not work.

The objective is to see if the web site is up and doing normal HTML stuff. -Right?
When piing does not work, you can use another kind of tool to verify the web site is working normally. You can find many in a Internet  search.

Verify website is online without ping.

Not found in above search was:
Network-Tools

This is my favorite way to see if either the host server or my own website is down. It gives a detailed trace and also provides DNS information and WHOIS details.

Screenshot clearly shows that there was no ping reply. 100% packet loss.

I guess you do not understand how networking works. Your ping clearly shows 100% packet loss.

Oh. Sorry. That was the first time I tried to ping, now know ping failed. Good to know. Thought packet lss meant something.

I have encountered an issue recently that I am unable determine the cause of. There is a website I needed to access and was unable to access it so I called the customer service department of the website's organization and they told me after some troubleshooting to try to open the website on a different computer. This suggestion worked. I was able to access it with no issue on another Windows 10 computer. In fact, I was able to access this website on my smartphone and a Macintosh computer that are all connected to the same network.

Your comments have nothing to do with this question.  We are talking about getting a PING response.  Not whether the website loads in your browser.
