How our status checker works

We combine official data with a dynamic User-Report Baseline to calculate real-time connectivity. By analyzing user-reported issues over a rolling 24-hour window, our tool recalculates the health of each service every 30 minutes.

Online

When report volume remains below the 50% threshold, the service is confirmed "Online," reflecting stable performance and no widespread issues.

Partial outage

A report surge between 50% and 75% triggers a "Partial outage" alert, indicating localized disruptions or specific feature instability.

Down

Reports exceeding 75% of the baseline classify the service as "Down," signaling a critical failure or a major connectivity outage.

What to Do If Netflix Is Down

If Netflix is unavailable, these troubleshooting methods may help:

1
Restart Your Streaming Device

Smart TVs and streaming boxes can accumulate temporary playback errors over time.

A full restart often clears stalled Netflix sessions and restores functionality.

2
Refresh Your DNS Connection

DNS-related issues may prevent Netflix from connecting properly even when your internet works.
Switching to public DNS providers like Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS may help.

3
Check Netflix Download Permissions

If offline downloads fail, your device storage permissions or app data settings may be corrupted.
Re-enable storage access and restart the app before downloading again.
