Is npm down right now?

No, it’s up.

npm appears to be up and running normally.

checked responded in 104msHTTP 200

Over the last 7 days, npm has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~118 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-08-18 15:12 UTC and lasted 15m (severity: degraded).

The npm registry serves JavaScript package downloads for essentially every Node and frontend build in existence. Its impact is disproportionate to its visibility: when the registry degrades, installs and CI pipelines fail worldwide within minutes, even though local development with a warm cache carries on unaffected.

Is npm down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching npm normally right now, and it answered our last one in 104ms. 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.

Measured since 2026-08-12. Windows reaching further back are averaged over the 38 days we watched, not the full period. Counts our own checks. Days npm reported an incident are coloured in the timeline above but do not change this figure.

What to do if npm is down for just you

  • Retry the operation — git pushes, deploys, and CI can fail on a brief hiccup.
  • Check your local network and VPN; developer tools are sensitive to proxy issues.
  • Clear your credential cache or re-authenticate (tokens and SSH keys expire).
  • Look at the official status page below before assuming your account is affected.
