About wsj.com Status
This page shows the real-time status of wsj.com as checked from our server. We perform a three-stage diagnostic: DNS lookup, TCP/TLS connection, and HTTP response. If wsj.com is down for everyone, you'll see a red verdict. If it's up but blocked by anti-bot protection (like Cloudflare), you'll see an amber warning.
How to check if wsj.com is down
- Visit this page — we automatically check wsj.com every time you load it.
- Look at the verdict card above: green means up, red means down, amber means protected or TLS issues.
- Check the response time chart to see if wsj.com has been slow or fast over the last 24 hours.
Common reasons wsj.com might be down
- Server outage — wsj.com's servers are overloaded or offline.
- DNS issues — the domain doesn't resolve, possibly due to expired registration or misconfigured nameservers.
- SSL certificate problems — the site works over HTTP but browsers block the broken HTTPS connection.
- Regional outages — wsj.com loads in some countries but not others.
- Your local network — ISP blocks, DNS cache, VPNs, or browser extensions.
What to do if wsj.com is down for you but not everyone
If our server can reach wsj.com but your browser can't, the problem is likely on your side. Try these fixes:
- Flush your DNS cache (Windows:
ipconfig /flushdns, macOS:sudo dscacheutil -flushcache). - Switch networks — try mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.
- Disable VPN, proxy, or ad-blockers.
- Try incognito mode or clear your browser cache.
- Change your DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
