There is not a specific block for this but there is a hack using the [Web API blocks](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/advanced-app-features/web-api) that used to work for checking if a site was failing.

- Create a `get` call with the site’s address as the URL. Do that during a screen open event.
- Use the green error block to determine if there is an error with the site
- Within the then do portion of the API block, if there is an error you can set the web viewer to invisible or display it if there is no error.

I am not quite sure I follow. Can you show us what blocks you have used so far?
