How to fix New York Times not working
When New York Times itself is having trouble, these steps won't bring it back, but they will rule out anything on your side:
Your browser tries to reach nytimes.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not New York Times.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While New York Times is down: what to use instead
- AP News Use AP News for breaking-news summaries when the app stalls.
- Reuters Reuters gives you wire-service headlines and a plain account of world events, which helps when you want a quick check without opening several sites.
- BBC News Try BBC News for international coverage.
- NPR NPR has audio and text for US and world stories if you would rather listen than read, and its local station streams can fill in when the main app will not load.
Problems at the same time as New York Times
Since 27 October, New York Times's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

How we track New York Times
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for New York Times, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for New York Times, 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. New York Times 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.
