Error Page Enhanced Extension

Error Page Enhanced replaces the default Chrome Error Page when you cannot connect to a URL, with some information about the failure and links to various services to diagnose a problem, or to research, register and develop the domain.

Great for domainers who want quick access to check out available domains, for web developers to diagnose problems and for browsers to get a bit more information about why that website you love isn't working right now.

Contains:
Whois
Ping
Trace
Root Link
Google Cache
Google Search
Proxify
DNS Lookup
Register Domain
Wayback Machine
Down for Everyone

Please rate/review the extension with your feedback and I'll update with additional features requested.

NOTE: The extension HAS to change the page url. The Chrome default error page content cannot be modified by an extension.

James Long (ID: 00000075ebae2b81) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/06/2023 A littany of buttons, but they don't all apply to each error page type. I was really really looking for a text blurb explaining what each error means, and what the common causes are. I'm a networking guy, and even I find it difficult to remember what all of these mean, when you don't see some of them for 3-4 years at a time. I was sorely dissapointed in the 502 Bad Gateway page. It looks like Netscape Navigator 2.0.

n ascentt (ID: 000000ea67c3094b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/05/2021 This is a great addon and the only working error page refresh extension still in the chrome web store that works. I do wish there was an option to hide all the buttons/text. I just want an error auto refresh extension for a kiosk browser, but if there's an error instead the kiosk will display the buttons and text leading people to think they have to click things before the refresh takes place. I was going to try to set the retry time to 1second to reduce the time they show instead, but such an option doesn't exist, as the refresh is hard set at 10s. Despite these shortcoming it's the best we have. There used to be a great extension called "autorefresh" but it looks like it got removed from the extension web store.

dan smith (ID: 00000038e1c1b017) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/17/2021 I agree with Roy, I just had this extension kick in on a 500 error page, and I was confused until I figured out what was going on. Unfortunately, I'll be uninstalling.

Roy (ID: 00000088d4448831) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/21/2021 Why does it report error Page Not Found (404), while in reality it is error 500? It would be great if you could fix this and also if you put the HTTP error code somewhere.

Gabriel Dibble (ID: 0000004f67cdc516) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/12/2015 it's a great idea but adding the GoDaddy and footer ad is tacky. --- i agree with Andy Calderbank that keeping the URI intact would be best practice.
