NIH 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.

Pages or content not loading

Try another section of the site or the mobile app. News, sports and reference sites slow down under heavy traffic during big events.

Search not working

Try a different query or browser. If results are empty or erroring for simple searches, the search backend is likely having issues.

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.

Why is NIH not working for me?

If this page shows NIH as up, the problem is most likely on your side: your browser, app, Wi-Fi, DNS or VPN. Try a private window, another device, or mobile data. If it fails everywhere and other people are reporting problems, it's an outage.

How do I check NIH status?

Can I get an alert when NIH goes down?

Yes. Add NIH (or your own website) as a monitor in Notifier and you'll get an email, SMS or phone call alert the moment it stops responding. The free plan covers 10 monitors. Start monitoring free.
