About The New York Times
The New York Times is a major American newspaper; nytimes.com carries its news, opinion, games and cooking sections, much of it behind a subscription. A paywall is not a block: the site opens, but some articles ask for a login. The Times has been blocked in several countries for years over its reporting.

Frequently asked questions
Is The New York Times down right now?
Not for most of the world. In our latest check on 14 November 2026, 05:06 UTC nytimes.com opened from 77 of 82 countries. If it does not open for you, the cause is more likely local: your provider, your network or a restriction in your country. Run a new check to see the current result for your country.
Why does The New York Times not open in my country?
When nytimes.com works in other countries but not in yours, there are three usual reasons: a restriction ordered by authorities, filtering by your provider, or a network problem between your provider and The New York Times. A different security certificate, a reset connection or a wrong address from DNS are typical signs of filtering; a timeout can be either filtering or a network fault.
How is nytimes.com checked?
From measurement points in about 90 countries we look up the address of nytimes.com with the local DNS and open a secure connection to it, checking that the site returns its own certificate. We do not load the page content, and we do not publish which networks the measurements came from.
