What should I do if npm is down?

Check the npm status page at https://status.npmjs.org for platform incidents Check if git operations are affected separately from the web UI — they use different infrastructure Verify your credentials and API tokens — these can expire or be revoked independently

How long do npm outages usually last?

Most npm outages resolve within minutes to a few hours. Extended outages are rare for major services. Check our incident history for past resolution times.

How do I check if npm is down?

Visit the npm page on WebsiteDown for a server-side HTTP probe of npmjs.com. We also scan social media, news, and status pages for outage signals.

Can I get alerts when npm goes down?

Yes. Starter and Growth plans probe npmjs.com every 60 seconds and send alerts via email, Telegram, or Discord — typically within 1–5 minutes of detection.

How does a npm outage affect my CI/CD pipeline?

If your build or deploy pipeline depends on npm, it may stall during an outage. Consider caching dependencies locally and having fallback registries configured.

Can I still push code during a npm outage?

Git commits are local, so you can keep working. Pushes and pulls require a connection to npmjs.com. Wait for the outage to resolve before syncing.
