How our status checker works?
We continuously monitor The New York Times from our own infrastructure to give you an objective view of its status. Every every 10 minutes, we send a request to nytimes.com from our primary location in the US and verify that the site responds correctly and within a normal time frame.
If the first check fails, we immediately repeat it from a second location to avoid false positives. When that second attempt also fails, we trigger a third confirmation check from a random global location. Only if all three checks confirm a problem, we mark The New York Times as having an issue or a major outage.
Frequently asked questions
No, The New York Times is working normally. UptimeRobot monitors nytimes.com around the clock from multiple global locations, and our latest checks show no confirmed issues.
You can see the current status and recent incident history at the top of this page. If you're still having trouble reaching nytimes.com, the issue may be local to your connection, DNS, VPN, browser, or device.
UptimeRobot shows The New York Times as operational right now, which means nytimes.com is responding normally from our global monitoring locations.
If you're still having trouble accessing it, the issue may be local to your connection. Try switching browsers, devices, or networks, and check your DNS or VPN settings.
Try opening nytimes.com from another browser, device, or network (e.g., mobile hotspot). You can also disable your VPN, clear DNS cache, restart your router, or check whether your internet provider is having issues. If the site works elsewhere, the problem is likely local rather than a confirmed The New York Times outage.
We monitor nytimes.com from our own infrastructure. When a check fails, we repeat the test from two other randomly chosen global locations to eliminate false positives. If these checks fail too, we mark The New York Times as down.
A The New York Times outage means our checks detected that nytimes.com was not responding correctly after multiple checks from different global locations. This doesn't always mean every user is affected. Some outages are regional, some affect only certain features, and some appear as slow loading instead of a full failure.
Not exactly. UptimeRobot monitors nytimes.com from the outside, so we can detect when something is wrong and show high-level symptoms such as connection timeouts, HTTP errors, or failed responses from specific regions.
However, we don't have visibility into internal systems, so we can't identify the exact root cause (like a failed deployment, database issue, or infrastructure problem).
What we can show you:
- When the issue started and when it was resolved
- How long the outage lasted
- Which regions were affected
- The type of error observed (for example, timeouts or HTTP status codes like 500 or 404)
For detailed root cause information and official updates, we recommend checking The New York Times's official status page.
Yes, UptimeRobot lets you set up your own monitors for nytimes.com so you get alerted the moment something goes wrong, and before your users notice. Our free plan includes 50 monitors with 5-minute check intervals. You'll also get details that this public status page doesn't show, such as response headers, response body, region-level results, and a full activity log.
Create a free UptimeRobot account and set up a monitor for nytimes.com. You'll receive alerts via email, SMS, Slack, webhooks, and other integrations as soon as we detect an issue, and again when it's resolved. Because we monitor independently from The New York Times's own infrastructure, you may be notified even before their official status page acknowledges the issue.
Alternatively, you can check whether The New York Times offers notifications on its official status page.
