Relying on my own experience, usually websites do some combination of the below: - The *current* state tells you how it is - That is, if it is green, it is on, and if it is red, it is off - Filled in means on, and not means off - If it has "on" visible, it is on, and if it has "off" visible, it is off - and so on - If there are labels on both sides, the side the switch is on is its state. - If there are no visible features, to the right is usually on. - Try hovering and see if it tells you. Also, some UIs change the text when it is on or off. E.g. if the label says "Turned on" and changes to "Turned off" when you click to switch, you can be fairly certain whether it is on or off.
