I want a fast way of testing port 80, if it is live or not. &nbsp;This must be an automated solution as it needs to be part of a script.

I have been using PING to check if a domain is live, however, some domains, depsite being available on port 80, are blocking PING.

       $response=shell_exec("ping $site -n -c 1 -w 2 -W 2");

How to check if a domain is live even if PING is blocked?
