About Facebook Outages and Server Issues
Facebook issues usually show up as feed refresh failures, login loops, missing notifications, or Messenger connection delays. Because traffic is global and CDN-driven, some outages are regional while others affect only specific paths like login or media delivery.
For Facebook, incident signals are often feature-specific: Login succeeds but feed stays blank or stale. Messenger sends fail while timeline still loads. If this matches what you see on facebook.com, it usually points to partial degradation instead of a full outage, so confirm with official status updates and a second-network retest.
Official Facebook Status, Support, and Social Channels
Facebook does not publish a dedicated consumer-only outage board, but Meta's official status properties and help channels are the best first sources.
Facebook Help Center
Official support documentation and account troubleshooting.
Meta Business Help
Useful when Business Manager or ads tooling is affected.
X Live Updates
Monitor real-time social updates and official posts related to Facebook outages.
Official Facebook Social Profiles for Live Updates
Official teams often post outage status updates and recovery progress through these social channels.

How to Check if Facebook Is Down
Practical steps to follow when facebook.com seems down. Use this checklist to confirm whether Facebook is down for everyone or only for you.
1. Check in two places
Run facebook.com in WebsiteDown.org first, then open facebook.com in your own browser. If results disagree, the issue is often local rather than global.
2. Verify service status
Check the official Facebook service status page and compare timestamps with your failed checks.
3. Isolate network path
Test related hosts such as m.facebook.com, messenger.com. If they work while facebook.com fails, this points to a partial endpoint issue.
4. Escalate with evidence
Capture final URL, status code, and response time for facebook.com, then share those details with Facebook support for faster triage and recovery.
If Facebook Is Not Working Only For You, Start Here
Use these local troubleshooting steps after the down-check workflow when Facebook seems broken only for you. This section focuses on app, browser, account, and network fixes.
1. Compare browser sessions
Open facebook.com in your current browser, then test in a private window or second browser. If only one session fails, the issue is usually local cache, cookie, or extension state.
2. Reset account session once
Sign out and sign back in one time, then retry the failing action on facebook.com. Avoid repeated password or security resets until you confirm this is not a broader Facebook issue.
3. Remove network interference
Temporarily disable VPN, proxy, private DNS, and filtering extensions. Then switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to isolate route-level differences.
4. Capture support-ready evidence
Save timestamp, device, network type, exact error, final URL, and status code. Use the check workflow above before contacting Facebook support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Facebook down for everyone or just me?
Run the automatic multi-region check on this page for facebook.com. If most regions fail at the same time, Facebook is likely experiencing a broader outage or partial incident.
If only one or two regions fail, the issue is usually local to your network path (DNS resolver, ISP route, VPN/proxy, or firewall). Re-check after 2 to 5 minutes and compare Wi-Fi with mobile data.
Where can I find official and real-time Facebook outage updates?
Use the Official Status, Support, and Social Channels section above in this order:
- Official status: Meta Status
- Support/help: Facebook Help Center and Meta Business Help
- Social updates: X Live Updates and Reddit Community Reports
Official dashboards are authoritative but can lag during the first minutes of an incident. Combine those sources with this checker to confirm whether Facebook is down globally, regionally degraded, or only affecting specific users.
Why is Facebook down for me but up for others?
That pattern usually points to path-specific issues rather than a full Facebook outage. Common causes include:
- Stale DNS cache or resolver mismatch
- ISP peering/routing issues between your network and the provider
- VPN/proxy exit-node blocking, geo filtering, or WAF policies
- Browser extensions, cached sessions, cookies, or temporary rate limits
Test in a private window, temporarily disable VPN/extensions, and retry from a second network. If one feature fails while the homepage still loads, treat it as a partial incident.
What should I do first if Facebook is not working?
Use this quick triage sequence for facebook.com:
- Run the live check for facebook.com
- Open the official status/support links above
- Test another device or another network
- Capture the exact error code, timestamp, and final URL
- Only then clear cache or flush DNS if results look local
This order helps you avoid unnecessary account resets when the Facebook issue is provider-side.
