Frequently asked questions
Is The Guardian down right now?
Not for most of the world. In our latest check on 11 November 2026, 21:30 UTC theguardian.com opened from 84 of 85 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 Guardian not open in my country?
When theguardian.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 Guardian. 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 theguardian.com checked?
From measurement points in about 90 countries we look up the address of theguardian.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 We do not load the page content, and we do not publish which networks the measurements came from.
