Click the Check Netflix Status Now button above to run an instant, free check. IsItGoneDown performs two simultaneous tests:
You'll also see live community votes from other users reporting whether Netflix is working or not, giving you a real-time sense of whether an outage is widespread.
When Netflix won't load, the cause is almost always one of these:
Netflix occasionally has technical issues that take the service down globally or regionally. When this happens, millions of users are affected at once. You'll see a surge of outage reports at IsItGoneDown and on social media.
Slow or intermittent connectivity often manifests as Netflix failing to load or buffering endlessly. Try opening another site — if nothing loads, your connection is the issue. Restart your router and check your speeds.
Sometimes your DNS server can't resolve netflix.com even though the internet is fine. Switching to a public DNS like 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google) often fixes it.
Some ISPs, workplaces, schools, and public Wi-Fi networks block or throttle streaming services. If Netflix is down only on one network but works on mobile data, this is likely the cause.
A corrupted cache or outdated Netflix app can silently fail. Clear the cache or reinstall the app on your device.
Expired payment, a locked account, or device limit reached can all look like "Netflix is down" when the problem is account-specific. Check your Netflix account status.
This is the single most useful thing to know when Netflix stops working. If Netflix is down for everyone, there's nothing to do but wait. If it's only down for you, a 30-second fix usually gets you back up.
IsItGoneDown answers this question directly — the global test tells you whether Netflix itself is responding, and the local test tells you whether your device can reach it.
Run an instant check with the button above. You'll see a global status plus community reports from other Netflix users in real time.
The clearest signal is a spike in community reports combined with a failed global test. Large outages usually also trend on X (Twitter) within minutes.
We check netflix.com (the web endpoint). In almost all cases, if netflix.com is responding, the app will too, because they share the same backend.
