About The New York Times outages
News sites have a load profile that almost nothing else shares: Traffic can multiply tenfold within minutes of a major event, and those are precisely the moments when availability matters most. Election night is the annual stress test, and the live results pages are engineered separately from the rest of the site for that reason.
The components that separate are the article pages, the paywall and subscription service, Games (Wordle and the Crossword, which have their own very large and time-concentrated audience), Cooking, and the mobile apps. Wordle failing at midnight local time is a distinct and frequently reported event. Login and paywall problems present as articles that will not unlock for paying subscribers, which is a subscription service issue rather than a site outage. The Times does not publish a public status page.
What to do if The New York Times is not working for you
Is it them or you?
Our last check reached nytimes.com normally, from a different network, resolver and route than yours. If it is broken for you, the fault is most likely local or too narrow for a single probe to see. Run the check again now to confirm.
The first thing worth trying
Use reader mode. It bypasses most of the machinery that actually failed, and the article itself is usually being served perfectly.
How news & media services typically fail
The page half-loads: Text appears and the layout never settles, or the article renders and the live blog does not update. Cached versions work while anything personalised fails. The rest of the steps, and why this category breaks the way it does, are on our news & media status page, with more background in what a 504 gateway timeout means.
The link below unfurls into a live card showing the verdict, so whoever you send it to sees the evidence rather than your word for it.
