How to check if the provider status?

[BravoNatalie]

I want to be able to check if the provider (WebSocketProvider or JsonRpcProvider) is working correctly. How can I achieve this?

Usually if the provider responds to a getBlockNumber() request, it’s good. At least as far as your link is concerned.

For now, I'm using this method, but I wanted to know if there were another way.
What do you mean by "link"?

[ricmoo]

The network link. As in there is no Firewall blocking you, or NAT configuration problem, hosts file, etc. that would affect your network link.
