It’s not just you. LinkedIn is experiencing a widespread outage with users taking to other social media sites like X and Facebook to complain.
It’s not immediately clear what caused the LinkedIn outage, but Down Detector has tens of thousands of complaints that appear to have started around 3:40 p.m. ET. Netblocks reports LinkedIn is down in “multiple countries,” suggesting this is a global problem.
The outage comes on the heels of other significant outages from websites like Facebook and Instagram, which both went down for several hours on Tuesday.
Anyone trying to visit LinkedIn from the U.S. is currently seeing a graphic that reads, “An error has occurred,” along with an explanation that directs users to the “Help Center.” But clicking on the Help Center link doesn’t bring you anywhere useful. Even clicking on the “contact us” hyperlink brings you back to a LinkedIn domain that’s currently down.

The Help Center page currently gives an error that reads:
Unable to locate the server; the server does not have a DNS entry. Perhaps there is a misspelling in the server name or the server no longer exists; double-check the name and try again. Please double-check the URL (address) you used, or contact us if you feel you have reached this page in error.
LinkedIn didn’t immediately respond to questions emailed on Wednesday afternoon. Gizmodo will update this post if we hear back.
This is a developing story and will be updated as we learn more.
