Is Roku down right now?
Short answer: this page checks roku.com from 24 locations on six continents right now. If most locations fail, Roku is down for everyone; if only a few fail, the problem is regional; if every location answers, Roku is up and the problem is probably between you and the site.
Roku makes streaming players and TVs, and roku.com is the site and channel store for Roku accounts. Problems show as channels that will not load, devices that cannot link to an account, and sign-in errors. A fault inside one channel is a problem of that channel, not of Roku.
Common questions
Is Roku down right now?
This page requests roku.com from 24 locations on six continents at the same time. Each location reports the HTTP status code and the response time. When most locations fail, Roku is down for everyone. When only a few fail, the problem is regional. When every location gets an answer, Roku is up and the problem is probably between you and the site.
What should I do if Roku is down for me only?
Reload without the browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+R, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac) or open roku.com in a private window. Flush your DNS cache, or switch to a public DNS resolver such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. Turn your VPN or proxy off, or on, to take a different route, and try mobile data instead of Wi-Fi to rule out your ISP. If other sites fail too, contact your ISP.
How do I get an alert when Roku is down?
Many vendors let you subscribe on their official status page, and that tells you what the vendor confirms. To learn about a failure on your side, add an HTTP monitor in Uptrack for the address your app depends on. It checks every 30 seconds and alerts you by email or chat when a check fails. Paid plans check from several locations and alert only when several of them confirm the failure. See the pricing page for plans.
To get an alert instead of checking by hand, read what uptime monitoring is, see how Uptrack monitors a site or compare the plans.
