Understanding WordPress.com connection and service problems

WordPress.com is a hosting service, distinct from independently hosted websites using WordPress software. Its troubleshooting guidance separates custom-domain problems from site and account availability.

The checker above requests wordpress.com from eight configured locations and shows the responses and measurement times. Compare those observations with the actual WordPress.com action that failed. A homepage response alone cannot verify an account, app workflow or transaction.

Other checks in work & learning: Wix status check, Substack status check, Weebly status check, Yandex status check, JSTOR status check. Compare results separately; these links do not establish a shared outage.

What to check when WordPress.com is not working

These are troubleshooting comparisons, not claims that WordPress.com is currently experiencing a particular incident.

Start with the action that failed

Identify whether the affected site is actually hosted on WordPress.com. Compare the public site, its custom domain and the WordPress.com account separately.

Narrow down the affected service

For a custom-domain failure, inspect the domain and DNS guidance before treating the editor or all hosted sites as unavailable. A broken plugin on another host needs that host's support.

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 WordPress.com is down

Compare the website response. Open wordpress.com 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. Identify whether the affected site is actually hosted on WordPress.com. Compare the public site, its custom domain and the WordPress.com account separately.
Check for a different cause. For a custom-domain failure, inspect the domain and DNS guidance before treating the editor or all hosted sites as unavailable. A broken plugin on another host needs that host's support.
Keep useful report details. Site hostname, WordPress.com versus other hosting, editor/public-view step and time; redact private settings and credentials.

Four checks when wordpress.com is not working: Compare the website response; Test the feature that failed; Check for a different cause; Keep useful report details — Separate the wordpress.com website response from the specific action that failed.

A useful comparison for WordPress.com

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.
