Understanding FOCUS online connection and service problems
For FOCUS online users in Germany, compare FOCUS online articles, video and account access with the public focus.de website. A response from that hostname does not verify every signed-in account or app operation.
The checker above requests focus.de from eight configured locations and shows the responses and measurement times. Compare those observations with the actual FOCUS online action that failed. A homepage response alone cannot verify an account, app workflow or transaction.
Other checks in news & media: Handelsblatt status check, t-online status check. Compare results separately; these links do not establish a shared outage.

Where to report problems with FOCUS online
Open FOCUS online help / reporting. Use the provider's customer-service or account-help route for the affected product. Sign-in may be required for private account questions.
Details to include in your report
Publication and article/issue, reading channel, access message and time; provide subscriber details only privately.
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 FOCUS online.
What to check when FOCUS online is not working
These are troubleshooting comparisons, not claims that FOCUS online is currently experiencing a particular incident.
Start with the action that failed
Compare a public article with the affected media or subscription feature; keep the original story link when reporting a technical failure.
Narrow down the affected service
Identify the article or issue date and the account used for paid reading. A subscription prompt is different from a request that receives no response.
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 FOCUS online is down
- Compare the website response. Open focus.de in your browser and run the website check. Compare the time and error; a homepage response does not verify every feature.
- Test the feature that failed. Compare a public article with the affected media or subscription feature; keep the original story link when reporting a technical failure.
- Check for a different cause. Identify the article or issue date and the account used for paid reading. A subscription prompt is different from a request that receives no response.
- Keep useful report details. Publication and article/issue, reading channel, access message and time; provide subscriber details only privately.
