• 16 Oct 2026: 1 of 288 checks failed (at most about 5 minutes).

A failed check means our server got no answer or a server error. It does not show which part of Heroku broke.

Heroku's own status page

Heroku is a cloud and hosting platform. It reports incidents itself, and that report says which part is affected. Check it next to the result above.

Up here but not working for you?

Work down this list. Stop at the first step that fixes it.

1. Reload the page with the cache skipped: Ctrl + F5 on Windows, Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac.
2. Open heroku.com in a private window. If it works there, an extension or a stored cookie is the cause.
3. Try another network, for example your phone with wifi turned off. If it works, the fault is in your connection or your provider.
4. Look up the address with our DNS lookup. If it finds records but your computer does not, restart your router or switch DNS server.
5. Check if only one part is broken (sign-in, payments, uploads). Heroku's status page lists each part.
6. Wait 10 minutes and try again. Short faults often clear before anyone announces them.

For your own site, the full method is in our website down checklist.

How this check works

• Every 5 minutes our server sends one request to https://heroku.com and waits up to 8 seconds.
• Any answer below HTTP status 500 counts as up. No answer, or a status of 500 or above, counts as failed.
• A failed check is tried once more after 3 seconds before it is recorded.
• We check from one location. A fault that only affects another region will not show here.
• We check one address. Heroku can have a broken feature while this address still answers.
