Twitter crashed? How to Tell if Your Network is Down | Social networks

Twitter errors can be caused by crashes and instabilities, and cause the service to go down indefinitely.

Here are four ways to check if Twitter is down or crashing on your servers.

An alternative to knowing if Twitter is down is to access websites that monitor failed Internet services, such as Downdetector (downdetector). The tool provides real-time bug and instability reporting across multiple sites. On the Downdetector homepage, just look for the Twitter icon to see if the social network is currently experiencing issues. There are also other options such as Outage.Report (outage.report) and Is It Down Right Now (isitdownrightnow).

In Google Trends, you can find out if there was a spike in terms of searches like twitter dropped, twitter down, or twitter stopped working. If searches of this type have suddenly increased over the past few hours, it may be a server error. To verify the information, type the keywords in the upper field, set Brazil as the scan country, and filter by Last Hour or Last 4 Hours. A rising trend chart possibly indicates that Twitter was down for several people.

3. Switch between Twitter site and app

In some cases, the problem may be internal, not on Twitter servers. To make sure that this is not about application slowdown or Internet connection instability, for example, it is a good tip to switch the social networking platform. If you're accessing Twitter from your computer, try opening the platform app, and vice versa.

4. Check the status of features in the Status API
