Is Dribbble Down?

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

Basic Steps

• 1. Hard refresh your browser – On Windows press Ctrl + F5, on Mac press Cmd + Shift + R. This clears the cached version of the page which often resolves display issues with shot grids and profile feeds.
• 2. Try a different browser or incognito window – Dribbble's interactive animations (like shot hover previews) can sometimes be blocked by extensions. Test in a private window with all extensions disabled.
• 3. Check your internet connection – Dribbble is image-heavy; if your connection is slow, the design feed may appear broken or fail to load new shots. Run a speed test or toggle Wi-Fi on/off.
• 4. Clear your DNS cache – If the site loads on your phone but not your desktop, flush your DNS by running ipconfig /flushdns (Windows) or sudo dscacheutil -flushcache (Mac) in your terminal.
• 5. Confirm Dribbble is not in maintenance mode – Check if the platform is showing a "scheduled maintenance" banner when you load the homepage. If so, wait 15–30 minutes.

Intermediate Steps

• 1. Verify your account session tokens – If you can browse but cannot like or comment, your session may have expired. Log out completely, then log back in via the Sign In button at the top right.
• 2. Check for regional CDN blocks – Dribbble uses multiple content delivery networks for shot images. If images load as broken thumbnails, your ISP or firewall may be blocking specific CDN domains. Try connecting via a mobile hotspot to isolate this.
• 3. Inspect developer console errors – On the Dribbble page, open the browser console (F12) and look for any "Failed to load resource" or "CORS" errors. This is especially useful if you're a designer who uses the "playoff" or "shot analysis" features.
• 4. Disable VPN or proxy services – Dribbble has strict anti-bot protections. If you use a VPN, the service may block your connection entirely or show you a blank page. Temporarily disable it and test again.

If the issue persists after trying these steps, the problem may be on Dribbble's side. Click the "Report Outage" button on this status page so our monitoring system can verify the service status for other users as well.
