How to fix SSE not working
SSE 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:
Your browser tries to reach sse.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart

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