How do I troubleshoot Tumblr issues?

1
Refresh and Clear Cache
Hard refresh your browser (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R). Sometimes cached scripts cause the dashboard to appear broken.

Try Incognito Mode
Open Tumblr in a private window to rule out issues caused by browser extensions or corrupted cookies.
3
Switch Networks
Try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data. This helps determine if the issue is with your local DNS or network provider.

Check Other Social Platforms
Check X or Mastodon for 'Tumblr down' trends to see if other users are reporting the same problem.

Frequently asked questions about Tumblr status

Is Tumblr down right now?

Check apistatuscheck.com/api/tumblr for independent monitoring. If our monitors show an outage, Tumblr is likely experiencing technical difficulties. If the site works for us but not for you, the issue may be local to your device or network.

Why is my Tumblr dashboard not loading?

This is often caused by a server-side outage, but it can also be due to a faulty browser extension or cached data. Try refreshing the page or opening Tumblr in an incognito window.

What should I do if I can't post to Tumblr?

If your posts are failing to upload, check the official Tumblr support pages and our real-time monitor. If there's a global outage, the only solution is to wait for Tumblr to resolve the issue.
