Troubleshooting

Can’t access YouTube?

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.

1

Refresh and retry

Force refresh the page with Ctrl/Cmd + F5, then try opening the site again in a new tab.

2

Check another connection

Try mobile data instead of Wi‑Fi, or test from another device to see if the issue is local.

3

Clear browser data

Clear cache and cookies for the site, or test in a private/incognito window.

4

Review DNS settings

Flush your DNS cache or try a public DNS provider such as Google, Cloudflare, or OpenDNS.

5

Disable blockers briefly

Temporarily turn off VPN, proxy, firewall, ad blocker, or security extensions and test again.

6

Look for a wider outage

If multiple users report trouble, the problem may be regional, ISP-related, or affecting the service itself.
