FAQ
Is 4chan down right now?
No - 4chan is up. Last checked 8 min ago (07:40 UTC). This page tests 4chan's boards and catalog API automatically every 10 minutes.
Why can't I open 4chan when it is up?
Usually it is local: a browser extension or ad blocker breaking the page, a Cloudflare challenge that will not complete, a network (school, work, mobile carrier) that filters the site, or a country-level restriction. Try another browser or network to narrow it down.
Can I still read threads while 4chan is down?
Yes. Recent threads from most boards are copied to third-party archives. See which archive covers which board.
