Common reasons CNN looks down when it isn't

What to check before blaming CNN

  1. Open a text article — if it renders, cnn.com is up.
  2. Disable ad-blocking extensions if only video fails.
  3. Try the app versus the website to separate the two.
  4. Hard-reload the page to clear a stale cached asset.

CNN status — frequently asked

Is CNN down right now?

CNN is up and responding in 40 ms. That reading is from itsnotyou's monitoring servers, 2 minutes ago.

Is it CNN that's down, or is it my internet connection?

It can be either — that's the hard part. The status on this page is measured from itsnotyou's monitoring servers, so CNN can look healthy here while your own connection is the real problem. The itsnotyou test checks both at once and returns a single verdict in about 10 seconds.

Why is CNN loading slowly?

A slow CNN usually comes down to one of two things: CNN's own servers are responding slowly — itsnotyou measures time to first byte, and anything over 1500 ms is flagged as slow — or your local connection is the bottleneck. Running the test tells the two apart.

How often is CNN's status checked?

CNN is probed every few minutes, around the clock, from itsnotyou's monitoring servers. The verdict and the 24-hour response-time history on this page update automatically.
