Is LinkedIn down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with LinkedIn right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check LinkedIn continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are website / app down, can't log in, feed won't load, messages not sending, search not working and can't post or comment. Those are the options the report button offers for LinkedIn, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With LinkedIn specifically, the feed, messaging, job search and sign-in are separate systems, so you can be signed in with an empty feed while messaging is fine. LinkedIn also rolls changes out gradually, so a problem reaches some accounts and not others. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For LinkedIn, load a public profile URL in a private window while signed out, since LinkedIn renders those without an account. That working while your own feed does not points at your session or your account rather than LinkedIn being down. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on LinkedIn's side. Specifically: do not resend a message or resubmit a job application that appeared to fail. Both are usually queued and go through later, and a duplicate application is visible to the employer. Check your sent messages and applied jobs first. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. LinkedIn publishes a machine-readable status feed, so our first check reads it directly and reports what LinkedIn itself says. If that feed is unreachable we fall back to a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP ping, then reports from visitors. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at www.linkedin-status.com, and it is linked further up this page. That is LinkedIn's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to LinkedIn or linkedin.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need LinkedIn's own support, not us.
