Understanding BILD connection and service problems
BILD's help distinguishes the News app, BILDplus access and purchases made through an app store. Restoring a purchase is an entitlement action, not a general test of website connectivity.
The checker above requests bild.de from eight configured locations and shows the responses and measurement times. Compare those observations with the actual BILD action that failed. A homepage response alone cannot verify an account, app workflow or transaction.
For separate news & media services, compare these individual checks: tagesschau status check, DIE ZEIT status check, ZDF status check. Compare results separately; these links do not establish a shared outage.

BILD status information and official help
Open bild.de

We have not linked a separate status page for this service. Check the official help page for current notices.
Where to report problems with BILD
Open BILD help / reporting. Use the contact, technical-help or account route described there. Sign-in, support entitlement and available channels can vary; a public community discussion is not a private support ticket.
Details to include in your report
Article, device, purchase channel and exact access message; share receipt information only with the appropriate support team.
Attach the checker’s downloaded JSON if it helps show the hostname, regional responses and original timestamps. Describe what happened in your browser or app as well. A report sent to WebsiteDown.org is not automatically forwarded to BILD.
What to check when BILD is not working
These are troubleshooting comparisons, not claims that BILD is currently experiencing a particular incident.
Start with the action that failed
Compare a public BILD article with the paid item that fails and record whether you are using the website or News app.
Narrow down the affected service
If the app does not recognise an existing purchase, consult the BILD account/purchase guidance. Do not start another subscription merely to test whether the service is available.
Read the actual checker response
A 403 Forbidden or 429 Too Many Requests means the host answered but refused or limited that request. A timeout gives no HTTP response. Keep those outcomes separate and check the available-region count before treating the result as broad evidence.
How to check if BILD is down
- Compare an open article.
- Identify app or website.
- Check the purchase channel.
- Use BILD digital help.
Use the comparison and support guidance above for the specific action. Keep the original check and error timestamps together; a cached result can be older than the problem you are seeing.
A useful comparison for BILD
Repeat the same action in a second browser or on another available connection, keeping the item and account the same. Change one thing at a time so the result is comparable. Leave required workplace or school security controls in place.
Follow the website troubleshooting guide for connection checks. Preserve any unsent work before refreshing a form or changing a session.
