Our checks
Every 5 minutes two independent servers request the Substack home page (substack.com) without signing in. We call it an outage only when both fail to get any answer.
| Checkpoint | Result | Response time | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Falkenstein, Germany | Answered (HTTP 200) | 440 ms | 2 min ago |
| Nuremberg, Germany | Answered (HTTP 200) | 491 ms | 7 min ago |
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 Substack 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.
- Update the app; old versions break when the service changes its API.
- Try the website in a browser. If it loads there, the problem is with the app.
- Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to rule out your network.
