Some of the more expensive GFCI’s have a little light built in.You could also add a small light to the outlet to know of it's tripped or not if changing an outlet is not in your wheel house.

The outside ones should be GFCI protected.I bought a new house and it seems like every outlet that is anyway associated with "exterior" is GFCI. Front porch, back porch, garage exterior, garage interior. I have a freezer in the garage and on two occasions in last few months GFCI has tripped. Do not think there is issue with freezer or freezer pulling too many amps, etc. Is it code now to have so many GFCI?
Any outlet within 3 feet of a water source or outside. Except main appliances. Washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, microwave oven, electric stove. Small appliances do need to be, using less amps.The kitchen counter and bath receptacles will be GF protected also
^ THISI've been working on refrigeration for almost 40 years and found that coolers and freezers do not work on GFCI outlets. Compressors pull a lot of amps when they start, just for not even a half second, but that is enough to trip. In Georgia they put them everywhere in commercial kitchens, I've always replaced them with standard outlets, problem solved. Change yours before you end up losing everything.
