Frequently asked questions

Is npm down right now?

npm is responding normally. Our last automated check of npmjs.com completed 6 minutes ago and succeeded in 128 ms. Over the past 24 hours the service answered 100.00% of our checks.

How reliable has npm been recently?

Measured from our automated checks, npm has been available 100.00% over 24 hours, 100.00% over 7 days, 100.00% over 30 days. We recorded 8 incidents in the last 30 days.

How fast is npm responding?

npm has averaged 199 ms across our successful checks in the past 24 hours, which is fast — comfortably within what a healthy service should return. Response time is measured from our probe to npmjs.com and does not include rendering time in your browser.

When did npm last go down?

The most recent incident DownBits recorded for npm began on 22 October 2026 at 12:20 IST and lasted 5 hr 20 min. It was logged as degraded performance. Detected by DownBits probe.

npm is not working for me. Is it just me?

Our probe is reaching npmjs.com normally right now, so the problem is more likely to be local to you than a full outage. Use the report button on this page to add your own signal — when several people report the same problem within a short window, it appears on the chart above.

npm is not working — what to try

  1. 1

    Separate API failures from dashboard failures

    A working marketing site does not mean a working API. Call the API host directly — curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://npmjs.com/ — and check the vendor status page linked above for component-level detail, since one component can fail while the rest stay green.

  2. 2

    Check for rate limiting before assuming an outage

    HTTP 429 and 529 mean you are being throttled, not that the service is down. Inspect the response headers for a retry-after value and back off exponentially rather than retrying immediately.

  3. 3

    Verify your credentials have not expired

    A 401 or 403 is an authentication problem on your side. Rotated keys, an expired billing method, or a revoked token all present as sudden total failure.

  4. 4

    Confirm the problem is not your connection

    Open any other site. If nothing loads, the issue is your network rather than npm. On Windows run ping npmjs.com and nslookup npmjs.com in Command Prompt; on macOS or Linux use Terminal. A DNS failure and a server failure look identical in a browser but are very different problems.

  5. 5

    Bypass your own cache

    Load npmjs.com in a private or incognito window. If it works there, clear cookies and site data for npmjs.com in your normal browser rather than clearing everything.

  6. 6

    Try a different network

    Switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or vice versa. Regional ISP routing problems are common and often affect one carrier while others are unaffected.
