Website Loading Issues
Troubleshooting steps for problems loading or using the DownStatus.co website.
Common Loading Problems
DownStatus.co is optimized for fast loading and reliability, but you might occasionally experience issues. Here are some common problems and their solutions:
Slow Page Loading
Pages taking longer than usual to load can be frustrating. This might be caused by:
- Internet connection: Slow or unstable internet connection
- Browser cache: Outdated or corrupted browser cache
- High traffic: Unusually high traffic to the site during major outages
- Device resources: Limited device memory or processing power
Pages Not Loading
If pages fail to load completely, it could be due to:
- Network errors: Connection timeouts or DNS resolution issues
- Browser issues: Browser extensions blocking content or JavaScript errors
- Server maintenance: Temporary maintenance or updates on our servers
- Firewall/security software: Overly restrictive security settings blocking access
Feature Not Working
Sometimes specific features might not function properly:
- Interactive elements: Buttons, forms, or dropdown menus not responding
- Status updates: Real-time updates not appearing without a refresh
- Charts and graphs: Visual elements not displaying correctly
- Search functionality: Search results not appearing or being incomplete
Mobile Device Issues
Mobile-specific problems you might encounter:
- Layout problems: Content not displaying properly on small screens
- Touch interactions: Difficulty tapping buttons or links accurately
- Data saver mode: Mobile data saving features blocking resources
- App vs. browser: Differences between the mobile app and mobile browser experience
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
Follow these steps in order to resolve most website loading issues:
The simplest solution is often the most effective:
- Refresh the page using your browser's refresh button or by pressing F5 (or Cmd+R on Mac)
- Try a "hard refresh" by pressing Ctrl+F5 (or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) to bypass the cache
- Close all tabs with DownStatus.co open, then reopen the site in a new tab
- If on mobile, try closing the browser app completely and reopening it
Verify your internet connection is working properly:
- Try loading other websites to see if the problem is specific to DownStatus.co
- Check your Wi-Fi or mobile data connection signal strength
- Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data (if available)
- Restart your router or modem if other sites are also loading slowly
Clearing browser data can resolve many loading issues:
- Clear your browser's cache and cookies (you can do this just for downstatus.co)
- In Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data
- In Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
- In Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → Remove All

If the issue persists, try using a different browser:
