Troubleshooting tips for Facebook
If our monitor reports Facebook is up but you still can't reach it, try these steps in order:
Hard-refresh your browser
- Press Ctrl + F5 (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) to bypass the cache.
- If that fails, open the page in an incognito / private window.
Clear cookies and cache
- Open your browser settings → Privacy / History.
- Clear cookies and cached files for the last hour, then reload.
Flush your DNS
- Windows: open Command Prompt and run ipconfig /flushdns.
- macOS: open Terminal and run sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder.
- Linux: run sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches (or systemctl restart nscd).
Restart your router
- Unplug the router and modem for 30 seconds.
- Plug them back in and wait until all lights are stable, then retry.
Try a different DNS or VPN
- Switch your DNS to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google).
- Use a reputable VPN to test from a different country — useful when the site may be region-blocked.
What usually breaks on Facebook
Facebook is Meta's flagship social network and one of the most-visited sites on the internet. Its outages are notable for their breadth — because so many other sites use Facebook Login, a Facebook outage takes unrelated services down with it.
'Log in with Facebook' fails on other sites
Many apps use Facebook as an identity provider. When Facebook is down, those sign-ins fail even though the app itself is fine.
Feed loads from cache but nothing updates
The app shows old posts and refuses to refresh. That is the classic symptom of a Meta outage rather than a connection problem.
Messenger fails separately
Messenger runs on its own infrastructure and can be broken while the main feed works, or the reverse.
