We check Yahoo from our servers and combine it with problem reports from visitors.

Our checks of yahoo.com
Each bar is one hour. Green: every check reached yahoo.com. Amber: some failed. Red: all failed. Grey: not checked that hour.
What to do if Yahoo is not working
- Hard-refresh the page (Ctrl+Shift+R, or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) to bypass cached errors.
- Try Yahoo in a private window to rule out extensions and stale cookies.
- If you're on a school or work network, a filter or firewall may be blocking Yahoo. Try another network.
- Check whether Yahoo is down only in your region by trying it on mobile data.
- For assignment or exam platforms, screenshot any errors with the time showing. Instructors often accept them as proof of an outage.
- Change your DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 if Yahoo fails to load but other sites work.
Yahoo outage FAQ
Is Yahoo down for everyone, or just me?
Look at the status at the top of this page. We connect to yahoo.com directly from our servers, so if our check works but Yahoo doesn't work for you, the problem is more likely your device, network or account. If our check fails, or reports have jumped in the last hour, Yahoo is probably having a wider outage.
Why does this page say Yahoo is up when it isn't working for me?
Our check confirms that yahoo.com is reachable and responding. An outage can still affect only part of Yahoo, such as logging in, the mobile app or a single feature, or only some regions. That's why visitor reports matter: when many people report problems at once, we flag Yahoo as having problems even if the website loads.
How often do you check Yahoo?
We check Yahoo automatically several times a day, and again whenever someone opens this page and our last check is more than a few minutes old.
How do I report a Yahoo outage?
Use "Report a problem" on this page to tell us what isn't working. Reports are anonymous: we don't store your IP address, only a one-way code that stops the same person reporting many times, plus your country.
