Checking Slack...
Is Slack down for everyone or just you?
This is the question that matters most. Our checker requests slack.com from our own servers, completely separate from your network — so the result reflects what the rest of the internet sees, not just your connection.
- If we say it's down: the outage is real and affects everyone. You'll just have to wait until Slack fixes the issue.
- If we say it's up, but you can't load it: the problem is local to you — usually a DNS cache, a VPN, a firewall, browser cache, or your ISP. Try a different network and an incognito window.
What a Slack outage looks like
Slack can fail in pieces: messages send but files do not, huddles drop, or the desktop app reconnects while slack.com still loads. We check slack.com from outside your network. Workspace-specific or region-specific incidents show up on Slack’s own status page first.
Typical issues: Message delivery delays, file-upload failures, desktop/mobile reconnect loops, and SSO or notification outages that leave the marketing site up.
Official Slack status page — we check slack.com from our servers; their page covers components we cannot see from the public homepage.
Don't keep re-checking by hand
A one-off check only tells you about right now. Webalert checks your site every few minutes from multiple regions and alerts you by email or Slack the moment it goes down — free forever, no credit card.
