Reddit may be down due to various reasons including server issues, DDoS attacks, scheduled maintenance, CDN problems like Cloudflare outages, or database errors. Our live tracker above provides the most current status information.

Most Reddit outages are resolved within 10-30 minutes. However, more serious technical issues can take several hours to fix. Major outages that affect core functionality might last longer. Reddit's engineering team is typically quick to respond to outages, especially during US business hours.

Our status tracker shows if Reddit is experiencing widespread issues. If our tracker shows Reddit is UP but you still can't access it, the problem might be your internet connection, your browser (try clearing cache), a regional issue affecting only certain areas, or your ISP's routing to Reddit's servers.

During Reddit outages, you might see error messages like 'Our CDN was unable to reach our servers', 'Ow! Reddit is down', 'We're experiencing technical difficulties', 'You broke Reddit', HTTP 503 Error (Service unavailable), or HTTP 504 Error (Gateway timeout).

Reddit experiences minor outages or performance issues several times per month, though most are brief and affect only certain features. Major outages that completely disable the site occur less frequently, typically a few times per year.
