Hotjar not working? What to try

Website won't load

Try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R), then a private window. If it loads there, clear the site's cookies and cache or disable extensions.

API or dashboard errors

Look at the HTTP status code. A 5xx error is on their side, 429 means you hit a rate limit, and 401 or 403 means a credentials or permissions problem.

Files not syncing or uploading

Check that you have free storage, pause and resume sync, or try the web version. Large uploads are usually the first thing to fail during an outage.

Rule out your own connection

  • Check whether other sites load. If nothing loads, the problem is your internet connection.
  • Restart your router or switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data.
  • Turn off any VPN, ad blocker or DNS filter and try again.
