What can I do when WordPress.com is down?
Check WordPress.com’s official status page for updates and try again in a few minutes. If wordpress.com works for us but not for you, try another network or browser, or clear your DNS cache. If your own product depends on WordPress.com, tell your customers on your status page before they email support.
Why is WordPress.com not working for me when it is up?
Our check shows that wordpress.com answers. Your own network, a VPN, browser extensions, an outdated app or a problem with your account can still break WordPress.com for you alone. The common problems on this page list what usually helps, and when many people report the same problem, it shows here.
