Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Wix outages
Why is Wix down?
Wix can experience downtime due to server maintenance, high traffic, infrastructure issues, CDN problems, or software updates. Wix typically resolves issues quickly and posts updates on their status page at status.wix.com.
How long do Wix outages usually last?
Most Wix outages are resolved within minutes to a few hours. Major outages are rare but can take longer. You can check the Wix status page for real-time updates and estimated resolution times.
Is my Wix site affected?
If Wix is showing as down or degraded, your site may be affected. This could impact your published website, the Wix Editor, Wix Stores, booking systems, or form submissions. Check your site directly to confirm.
What happens to my website during a Wix outage?
During an outage, your published website may be slow or inaccessible. Visitors won't be able to view your site, make purchases, or submit forms. Your site data is typically preserved once service is restored.
How can I avoid losing visitors during Wix downtime?
Consider building with a platform like Capacity that gives you more control over your infrastructure. With Capacity, you can deploy to reliable cloud hosting with 99.9% uptime and aren't dependent on a single platform.
What should I do when Wix is down?
First, verify the outage on Wix's status page (status.wix.com). Communicate with your visitors or clients about the issue. Wait for Wix to resolve it - they typically restore service quickly. For critical sites, consider a backup solution.
Can I get notified when Wix goes down?
Yes, you can subscribe to Wix's status page for email notifications. Third-party monitoring services like UptimeRobot or Pingdom can also alert you to downtime on your specific site.
Is there a Wix alternative that doesn't go down?
While no platform has 100% uptime, building your own website with Capacity gives you more control. Capacity deploys to global CDN infrastructure with automatic failover, giving you better reliability than depending on any single platform.
