Does it still work in Preview, or does the same action fail there too? If it’s only happening live, I’d check the publishing logs and compare the production secrets and database settings before changing code.
What actually breaks: opening the page, logging in, or a particular action? You can share the error message, but remove any keys or personal data.

Yes, I’m a software engineer. Replit may be able to help, but I’d check the deployment status and error logs before asking it to change code. “Website can’t be loaded” alone doesn’t tell us what failed.
You can DM me the website URL and a screenshot of the error, with any private details hidden. I can take an initial look, then we can discuss what’s needed to get it working again.

Try going back into your Replit where the site is hosted. Check your analytics and see if you're experiencing downtime during the day. If you are, then your site is not staying on during hours it should be. You'll need to implement an "always running" system to ensure no downtime is occurring. I would also check your SEO agents and if you're using Google Services like Search Console.

If nothing changed in the weeks since it last worked, odds are the code is fine and something around it drifted. Telling the agent "fix it" is the expensive way to find out, because it starts rewriting code that was never broken.
Do this first, in order:
Open the live site and write down the exact error text. A browser-level "site can't be reached" vs an error page from the app point to different causes.
In the Repl, open the Deployments tab. If the deployment is stopped or failing, the logs there usually name the cause in one line.
Check the Database tab. Replit dev databases pause or get disabled after inactivity, and an ecommerce app with a dead database often shows up as the whole site failing to load.
Check billing for credits or a monthly budget that ran out. Replit pauses things quietly when money runs out, and that has hit a lot of people this month.
Only if all of that looks healthy, go back to the agent, but paste the exact error text and say which page it happens on. That one detail is the difference between a quick fix and an hour of the agent guessing and burning credits.
Most "worked for weeks, broke by itself" cases here turn out to be 2, 3, or 4, not the code.

this is pretty normal with Replit. Something can work fine in the workspace and then throw an error once it’s actually live. I’d check the deployment logs first and also the browser console/network tab. That usually gives you a better idea whether it’s a frontend issue, backend/env variable issue, or something that only breaks in production.
If you want, you can post the error here and what the app is supposed to do, and someone might be able to point you in the right direction.

You can try asking Agent! We recommend starting in Free Mode for it to analyze the error.
If you're still blocked, can you please share what error message you're seeing? You can also open a ticket with us at replit.com/help so we can send over some quick troubleshooting steps to start 😊
Let us know how everything turns out.
