Common reasons Wikipedia looks down when it isn't

What to check before blaming Wikipedia

  1. Open a different article — if it renders, Wikipedia is up.
  2. Try another language edition; they run on the same infrastructure but different caches.
  3. Switch networks if the site is unreachable entirely, which points at a block.
  4. Search for the article title, which finds pages that were renamed.

Wikipedia status — frequently asked

Is Wikipedia down right now?

Wikipedia is up and responding in 177 ms. That reading is from itsnotyou's monitoring servers, 61 seconds ago.

Is it Wikipedia that's down, or is it my internet connection?

It can be either — that's the hard part. The status on this page is measured from itsnotyou's monitoring servers, so Wikipedia can look healthy here while your own connection is the real problem. The itsnotyou test checks both at once and returns a single verdict in about 10 seconds.

Why is Wikipedia loading slowly?

A slow Wikipedia usually comes down to one of two things: Wikipedia's own servers are responding slowly — itsnotyou measures time to first byte, and anything over 1500 ms is flagged as slow — or your local connection is the bottleneck. Running the test tells the two apart.

How often is Wikipedia's status checked?

Wikipedia is probed every few minutes, around the clock, from itsnotyou's monitoring servers. The verdict and the 24-hour response-time history on this page update automatically.
