Troubleshooting

How to fix Limelight Networks not working

Limelight Networks is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Hard refresh past the edge cache
You skip stale files. Press Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac when the page hangs because you force your browser to fetch fresh files from the origin instead of the old edge copy.
Clear CDN-cached images and video
Open Chrome Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data and tick Cached images and files so you fetch clean edge objects after the reload. You drop bad copies.
Flush DNS to drop dead edge nodes
Run Command Prompt and type ipconfig /flushdns, then restart your browser because you clear old address records that still point to a failed cache node. You get fresh routes.
Bypass VPN to test edge routing
Turn off your VPN or proxy and join a different Wi-Fi or phone hotspot because you learn if your ISP path to the edge is blocked while the service is fine for others. You isolate the fault.

While Limelight Networks is down: what to use instead

Akamai Akamai can carry video streams and software downloads when the primary CDN stalls.
Cloudflare Cloudflare caches static assets when pages load slowly or time out.
Amazon CloudFront For AWS-hosted content, CloudFront serves web pages and media from locations closer to your viewers.
Origin server Point your domain at your origin server when the edge layer fails, so visitors reach your content without the CDN.

Your device

Fix Limelight Networks on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone

Limelight Networks on Windows

Fix: Fix Limelight Networks connection issues on Windows by flushing your DNS cache and clearing your browser data. You can also try switching to a public DNS server to bypass local routing issues.
Check: To check if Limelight Networks is down on Windows, visit their official status page or use network diagnostic tools to check server responsiveness. If multiple websites using their CDN fail to load, the network may be experiencing an outage.

Limelight Networks on Mac

Fix: Resolve Limelight Networks issues on a Mac by flushing your system DNS cache and restarting your web browser. Restarting your modem or router can also restore a clean connection to their servers.
Check: To tell if Limelight Networks is down on macOS, check their official status portal or run a traceroute to their CDN endpoints. If content delivery is failing across multiple browsers, it indicates a wider service issue.

Limelight Networks on Android

Fix: Fix Limelight Networks connectivity on Android by clearing the cache of the affected app or browser. Resetting your network settings or temporarily disabling your VPN can also restore access.
Check: To see if Limelight Networks is down on Android, try accessing the affected platform using a mobile browser on both Wi-Fi and cellular data. If the service fails to load on both, it points to a Limelight Networks outage.

Limelight Networks on iPhone and iPad

Fix: Fix Limelight Networks issues on iOS by toggling Airplane Mode to refresh your network connection or clearing Safari's website data. You can also try reinstalling the affected app from the App Store.
Check: Determine if Limelight Networks is down on iOS by checking their system status page via Safari or testing the connection on different networks. If apps relying on their CDN fail to load content, the network is likely down.

About

What happens when Limelight Networks goes down

Limelight Networks is a content delivery network that moves video and software downloads to viewers and devices; this page shows when user problem reports for it rise above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Broadcasters and game studios rely on it, so an outage interrupts streams and downloads that depend on its edge servers.

Video streams stall first. Players keep asking for segments the service cannot deliver fast enough, so the stream drops to low quality or stops, and large downloads from game launchers or software update tools hang at a low percentage or fail with a network timeout. Website assets that come from the service, such as images and scripts, may load slowly or not at all, leaving pages broken or half-styled. The trouble is often partial, hitting one region or one ISP while other viewers keep watching without issue; if the edge nodes are unreachable for you, you get a connection reset or a spinning loader instead of content.

Questions

Limelight Networks FAQ

Is Limelight Networks down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. It does not ping or probe anything itself. Use that signal from other people, not as a direct test. To check your side, load a different site on the same device and try the same video from another network; if those work while the service still fails, the problem sits with the delivery path or the origin behind it.

Why does a Limelight video stream keep buffering or dropping to a lower quality?

Buffering points to a weak path between your device and the nearest edge. Test the same stream on another network. Limelight delivers video through many edge locations, and one bad route can affect only your region or ISP; if other sites are fine and only this stream stalls, the publisher may have an origin or encoding problem. Lower quality can also come from adaptive bitrate switching when your bandwidth drops.

Why does a Limelight-hosted file return an access denied page?

Access denied means the request failed a token or a geographic restriction set by the content owner, and that rule comes from the publisher. Limelight just follows it at the edge. Check that your link has not expired and that you are in an allowed region. If the same file works for someone else on a different network, ask the publisher to verify the rule for your case.

Why is my Limelight cache purge not showing up?

A purge can take a few minutes to reach every edge. Stale content may still come from a browser or an intermediate cache. Check the purge request in your control panel, then test with a new query string or an incognito window. If only some regions see the old file, the edge nodes there may not have picked up the change yet; contact your account team if the same file stays stale after a reasonable wait.

Why can't I log in to my Limelight account or API?

Login failures can tie to credentials or a locked account after repeated attempts. Try a password reset. Check your system clock if you use an authenticator app, and for API access confirm the key is active and that your source IP is allowed by the account rules. If the control panel loads but the API returns errors, the problem may sit with a specific service endpoint rather than the whole platform.

How we track Limelight Networks

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Limelight Networks, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Limelight Networks, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Limelight Networks doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
