Common reasons YouTube looks down when it isn't

What to check before blaming YouTube

  1. Try another video — if it plays, YouTube is fine.
  2. Lower the video quality; if that fixes it, it's your connection speed, not YouTube.
  3. Open the video in an incognito window to rule out extensions and cache.
  4. Compare the app vs. the web (or another device) to see where it actually breaks.

YouTube status — frequently asked

Is YouTube down right now?

YouTube is up and responding in 141 ms. That reading is from itsnotyou's monitoring servers, 69 seconds ago.

Is it YouTube 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 YouTube 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 YouTube loading slowly?

A slow YouTube usually comes down to one of two things: YouTube'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 YouTube's status checked?

YouTube 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.
