Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Shortwave not working?

If you're asking 'is Shortwave down?', there are two main reasons Shortwave is not working for you. First, it could be a widespread Shortwave outage or scheduled maintenance. You can verify the current Shortwave server status by checking our charts. Second, the problem might be local (a bad internet connection or browser cache).

How do I know if Shortwave is down?

The best way to know if Shortwave is down is to check this page. Look at our 24-hour graph for a spike in reports, which indicates a confirmed Shortwave outage. You can also check our "Service Status History" log for official updates on the current Shortwave server status.

If Shortwave's website is down, does it mean the whole service is down?

Not always. A modern service has many parts (website, API, etc.). It's possible for Shortwave to have a partial Shortwave outage (like the API being down) while the main website still works. This can be confusing when you're asking 'is Shortwave down?' because part of the service is still operational.

What are the common reasons for a Shortwave outage?

A Shortwave outage can be caused by many issues: server overloads, database failures, or new software bugs. Sometimes, it's just scheduled maintenance. These are common reasons why Shortwave was down in the past. Our monitor tracks the Shortwave status regardless of the cause.

What to do when Shortwave is inaccessible or not working?

If Shortwave is not working or inaccessible, first confirm the Shortwave server status on this page. If we show a confirmed Shortwave outage, you just have to wait for them to fix it. If our page shows the service is "Up," the issue is likely on your end (see our troubleshooting guide).

How does this down detector check the Shortwave status?

Our system checks the Shortwave status by automatically "pinging" the Shortwave servers every minute. If our checks fail, our graphs will reflect a potential Shortwave outage. This is how we provide an instant, objective answer to the question "is Shortwave down?"
