ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

Connection Timed Out

The TCP connection handshake did not complete within the timeout period. The server is either unreachable or a firewall is blocking the connection silently.

Why this happens

  • Server or network firewall silently dropping SYN packets
  • Server is offline but DNS still resolves (records not updated)
  • Your network has high packet loss
  • The server's IP address changed but DNS hasn't updated yet
  • Your ISP is throttling or blocking the traffic

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Try a VPN — if it works through VPN, your ISP may be blocking the route

  2. 2

    Flush DNS cache and try again

  3. 3

    Check if the site works via its IP address directly

  4. 4

    Use our website checker to test from a different location

  5. 5

    Check if your ISP has any reported outages
