The site you provided doesn't appear to calculate the average from multiple sources like preev.com used to. It's only taking the price from Bitstamp:

... and it also not working for EUR, while, surprisingly, GBP and CAD do work (I didn't check the accuracy of conversion though).
I see it's an adaptation of preev that also offers quotation for a couple of altcoins too. And I see that some special characters are not displayed correctly. However, it's a not-too-bad replacement while preev is down.

Preev.com is really down - You can check it here too: https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/preev.com?proto=https

There are a lot of platforms just like Preev.com now, here's the list that can be used as an alternative to Preev.com;
https://coinmarketcap.com/converter/
https://bitsusd.com/
https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/satoshi/to-usd/
https://coinval.co/

and many more,
I just found them randomly on google. Some of them are based on average multiple exchanges or some of them are just using 1 exchange as 1 source of truth.

This is a different issue from the last time that preev is down it's related to domain expiration but right now it seems related to DNS expired.

Don't forget about Coingecko is one of the good options you can also use their Widget converter to install it in your Widget launcher in your PC.

For those who don't know, the best alternative that I know I can fully trust and support would be this
- https://bitcoindata.science/bitcoin-units-converter.html

It's a tool created by other reputable bitcointalk member and I think its best to support that project.

There are a lot of options but Preev has established its reputation over the years, the good thing about this converter is they did not monetize their site, they did it out of love and service to the community, if they monetize it the money can be used to pay for the domain and hosting service but the developer opted not to place annoying ads, few webmasters do this.

Actually they do monetize their site before but they remove due to many complaints before about cloud mining ads and other ads that could affect their users because most of the ads companies like google are collecting data like location, IP, and PC information. Since many people complain about this and due to the new policy GDPR before they remove the ads.

If the ads is your problem in other alternatives why not host a Bitcoin converter on your own you can use something like this one https://github.com/wp-plugins/bitcoin-calculator-widget
It's outdated but you can edit the blockchain.info ticker into .com.

Now, it appears to be working for EUR as well.

Good! I think that all that's still missing is the use of multiple sources (at least 1-2 more big exchanges).
Actually also some reference to the initial preev for the look and feel would be normal imho.

This is what i do like about Preev which into its simplicity.You cant really see any ads around and you could hover out in between values depending on what you are tending to seek or know of.

Also i do love on typing it out directly on browser with ease or without any hiccups and you would be seeing directly those big numbers on how much the current Bitcoin price is.
Unlike even on surfing coinmarketcap isnt really that appealing on the eyes on just trying to look for Bitcoin values.  :D

Yes, as you have mentioned, we have this alternative:

[ANN] Preev is down, Im happy to announce the official launch of Pnnv.com (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5410871.0) by @agentF.

And also,

preev.net - what it should have and how it should look? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5411037.0) by @examplens.

However, the 2 are still work in progress, so if anyone would wanted to test it out and give back any feedback to the developers then for sure it will be appreciated.

There are a lot of alternatives already that you can get to check prices. I remember this project from
handsome_latino (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3466328) called BTC2FIAT.me: a lightweight Bitcoin to Fiat converter (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395520.0)

It's a lightweight converter as well. Still works.

Yup. Implemented it on 100bit.co.in (https://100bit.co.in).

The closest alternative to use is preev.net which was creaed by fellow user examplens recently. (Bitcointalk announcement thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5411037.0))

Honestly, the base script to that, along with mine, is taken from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395520.0. I modified it though, to show some more info.
