Framer Status: How to Check If Framer Is Down Right Now (2026)
Where to find the official Framer status page, what each component means, and how the Framer canvas editor and published site hosting operate as independent systems.
Is Framer Down Right Now?
Check status.framer.com for official real-time status. The page shows the Framer editor, hosting, CMS, custom domains, and API.
Framer Official Status Page
The official Framer status page at status.framer.com is maintained by Framer and updated during incidents. It covers all major Framer services:
Key insight: Like Webflow, Framer separates the canvas editor from hosted site infrastructure. An editor issue doesn't automatically mean your published site is down — always check which specific component is reported as degraded.
Monitor your Framer site independently
Better Stack monitors your published Framer site every 30 seconds from multiple locations. Get alerted before your clients notice an outage — even when Framer's status page hasn't updated yet.

The most common Framer confusion during outages: the editor is working fine but the published site is down, or vice versa. These run on completely separate infrastructure.
Framer Editor (framer.com)
- Browser app at framer.com/projects
- Used by designers and site builders only
- Runs on Framer's product infrastructure
- Outage = can't design or publish, but live site may stay up
- Check: can you open and interact with the canvas?
Framer Hosting (your domain)
- CDN serving your published site to visitors
- Your custom domain or .framer.website subdomain
- Runs on Framer's hosting/CDN infrastructure
- Outage = visitors can't access your live site
- Check: load your site in incognito or from mobile
How to Check Framer Status (Step by Step)
Check status.framer.com
The official status page. Expand individual components — Hosting, CMS, Publishing, Custom Domains — to pinpoint exactly which service is affected.
Go to Framer Status Page →Test your .framer.website URL
Every Framer site has a fallback .framer.website subdomain. If your custom domain fails but the .framer.website URL loads, the problem is DNS or SSL certificate configuration, not Framer's hosting.
Check Framer's Twitter / X and Discord
Framer posts incident updates on @framer. User reports on the Framer Discord community often surface issues before the official status page updates.
Follow @framer →Try republishing from the editor
If your site content looks stale, try a forced republish from the Framer canvas (top-right Publish button). This can clear transient publish pipeline issues.
Run a cURL check on your domain
Test your site's HTTP response directly to rule out local network issues.
curl -I https://yoursite.comCommon Framer Issues and Causes

Framer vs Webflow: Status Infrastructure Differences
Both Framer and Webflow offer visual website builders with hosted CDN infrastructure, but their status pages and incident patterns differ slightly.
Framer
- Status page: status.framer.com
- React-based, code components in canvas
- Build process involves bundling — can fail on code errors
- Growing rapidly — infrastructure scaled from design tool roots
- Newer platform, generally good uptime history
Webflow
- Status page: status.webflow.com
- More mature platform, enterprise SLAs available
- More granular component tracking (Ecommerce, Memberships)
- Larger user base = more data on historical incidents
- Enterprise plan guarantees 99.99% uptime SLA
See our Webflow status guide for a full breakdown of Webflow's status infrastructure.

Where is the official Framer status page?
Framer's official status page is at status.framer.com. It shows real-time status for the Framer canvas editor, site publishing, CMS, custom domains, API, and CDN hosting. You can subscribe to email incident notifications directly from the status page. For independent third-party monitoring, use apistatuscheck.com.
Why is my Framer site down but the editor is working?
Framer separates the canvas editor (framer.com) from hosted site infrastructure. A CDN or hosting outage can bring down your published site while the Framer editor remains fully functional — and vice versa. On status.framer.com, look specifically at 'Hosting' or 'CDN' components rather than the overall status. Your visitors see the published site, not the editor canvas.
Why is Framer CMS not loading or updating?
Framer CMS issues are typically caused by: (1) A CMS service incident — check status.framer.com for the CMS component, (2) Publish pipeline failures — try republishing from the canvas, (3) Framer CMS item limits on your plan, (4) CDN cache propagation delay (content changes may take 1-2 minutes globally), (5) Browser caching — try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R). Framer CMS is tightly coupled to the editor, so a partial editor incident can also affect CMS edits.
What is the difference between Framer editor down and Framer hosting down?
The Framer editor (framer.com) is where you design and manage your site — it runs on Framer's product infrastructure. Framer Hosting is the CDN that serves your published site to visitors at your custom domain or .framer.website subdomain. These are separate systems. An editor outage means you can't design or publish. A hosting outage means visitors can't access your live site. Check status.framer.com and expand each component to understand which is affected.
Why did my Framer publish fail?
Framer publish failures are usually caused by: (1) A publish pipeline incident — check status.framer.com, (2) A build error from a broken code component — check the error message in the publish dialog, (3) Custom domain DNS misconfiguration — verify your CNAME points to framer's servers, (4) Account plan limits — check if you've hit the custom domain or page limit for your plan, (5) Browser extension interference — try publishing in incognito mode. If publish fails and status.framer.com shows no incident, the error message in the UI usually points to the cause.
