Is Behance Down?

If you're experiencing issues with Behance, try these troubleshooting steps:

Basic Steps

• 1. Refresh and hard-reload: Press Ctrl + F5 (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) to bypass cached files. Behance's image-heavy gallery and project portfolios can load incorrectly if your browser serves stale assets.
• 2. Check your internet connection: Run a quick speed test. Behance requires stable bandwidth to load high-resolution project images, video embeds, and live previews—a slow or intermittent connection may show partial page loads.
• 3. Clear browser cache and cookies: Go to your browser settings and clear cached files specifically for behance.net. This resolves issues with stuck login sessions and outdated page styling.
• 4. Try a different browser or incognito mode: Use an incognito/private window or switch to another browser (e.g., Chrome to Firefox). This isolates issues caused by extensions or saved preferences.
• 5. Test with a different device: If possible, try loading Behance on your mobile app (iOS/Android) or another computer. This helps determine if the issue is local to one device.

Intermediate Steps

• 1. Disable browser extensions and ad blockers: Behance uses dynamic content loading and internal scripts for its grid layout. Extensions like privacy blockers or script managers can prevent project thumbnails and the "For You" feed from rendering.
• 2. Check your DNS and try a public DNS: If images appear broken only for you, your ISP's DNS might be outdated. Switch to Google DNS (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) temporarily and retry.
• 3. Inspect for service-specific login or upload failures: If you're having trouble uploading or editing a project, verify that your account is verified and that you're not logged into multiple Behance sessions. Also, check if you have any active pop-up blockers preventing the upload modal from opening.
• 4. Flush your DNS and reset network settings: On Windows, run ipconfig /flushdns in Command Prompt. On macOS, restart your Wi-Fi adapter. This clears any residual connection states that may interfere with Behance's CDN (content delivery network).
