Frequently Asked Questions
Why is GitBook not working?
If you're asking 'is GitBook down?', there are two main reasons GitBook is not working for you. First, it could be a widespread GitBook outage or scheduled maintenance. You can verify the current GitBook server status by checking our charts. Second, the problem might be local (a bad internet connection or browser cache).
How do I know if GitBook is down?
The best way to know if GitBook is down is to check this page. Look at our 24-hour graph for a spike in reports, which indicates a confirmed GitBook outage. You can also check our "Service Status History" log for official updates on the current GitBook server status.
If GitBook'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 GitBook to have a partial GitBook outage (like the API being down) while the main website still works. This can be confusing when you're asking 'is GitBook down?' because part of the service is still operational.
What are the common reasons for a GitBook outage?
A GitBook 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 GitBook was down in the past. Our monitor tracks the GitBook status regardless of the cause.
What to do when GitBook is inaccessible or not working?
If GitBook is not working or inaccessible, first confirm the GitBook server status on this page. If we show a confirmed GitBook 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 GitBook status?
Our system checks the GitBook status by automatically "pinging" the GitBook servers every minute. If our checks fail, our graphs will reflect a potential GitBook outage. This is how we provide an instant, objective answer to the question "is GitBook down?"
