Can’t access Wikipedia?
If our check says the site is online but it still does not load for you, these quick steps can help identify whether the issue is local, network-related, or wider.
Refresh and retry
Force refresh the page with Ctrl/Cmd + F5, then try opening the site again in a new tab.
Check another connection
Try mobile data instead of Wi‑Fi, or test from another device to see if the issue is local.
Clear browser data
Clear cache and cookies for the site, or test in a private/incognito window.
Review DNS settings
Flush your DNS cache or try a public DNS provider such as Google, Cloudflare, or OpenDNS.
Disable blockers briefly
Temporarily turn off VPN, proxy, firewall, ad blocker, or security extensions and test again.
Look for a wider outage
If multiple users report trouble, the problem may be regional, ISP-related, or affecting the service itself.
