I didn't get access to this site(italki) yesterday. I don't know why. My guess is the server was down for a while.
However now I can use this site properly.

Didn't Get Access to this site
Couldn't Access the Site
I didn't get access to this site(italki) yesterday.
I couldn't access italki yesterday. // I couldn't connect to italki yesterday. // I couldn't get to italki yesterday.
"Didn't get access to", sounds like someone chose to not give you access.
I don't know why.My guess is the server was down for a while.
(no problem)
However now I can use this site properly.
However, now I can access the site.
"Use the site properly", could mean that you didn't know how to use the site before. (Before you were using the site improperly.)

If I were talking to a friend, he would probably say, "I didn't get access to the site," just as you said.
At work, I'd probably hear a coworker say, "I wasn't able to access the site." Some reference books say that "access" isn't a verb, but most people use it as a verb in everyday conversation.
And yes, "I was not able to get access" is also correct, something that you might read in a technical manual. At this point, you're just fine-tuning your language, which is awesome.

Fantastic English. I only added a comma, but even native English speakers make that mistake.
