What should I do if Bitly is down for me?

Hard-refresh the page (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+R) to bypass a stale cached asset. Try an incognito window to rule out a browser extension or cookie problem. Confirm your subscription or billing is active — access issues can mimic outages. Switch networks or devices to isolate whether the problem is on your end.

HTTP 200

Over the last 7 days, Bitly has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~54 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-11-02 06:53 UTC and lasted 15m (severity: degraded).

Bitly shortens links and counts the clicks on them, which puts its redirects in the middle of email campaigns, QR codes and printed material. When redirects fail, every short link already published stops resolving at once.

Is Bitly down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Bitly normally right now, and it answered our last one in 36ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.
