Our checks
Every 5 minutes two independent servers request the Perplexity home page (www.perplexity.ai) without signing in. We call it an outage only when both fail to get any answer.

Some sites answer automated checks with a block page (HTTP 403) or a rate limit (HTTP 429); that still means the site is online.

What to do if Perplexity is not working
- Check the official status page and the time of the last update.
- Test another website. If nothing loads, the problem is your connection.
- Open the service in a private window and sign in again: AI chat apps often fail on an expired session.
- Try the mobile app if the website fails, or the website if the app does.
- Large file uploads and long conversations fail first during heavy load; try a short prompt.
