Frequently asked questions about Mojeek
Search works but images do not. Is that an outage?
Yes, a partial one. The parts are run separately and fail separately.
Everything is slow rather than broken.
Degraded performance is the usual first sign. It often resolves without ever becoming a full outage.
How do I know if Mojeek is down for everyone?
Look at the outage graph above. A sudden spike in reports means the problem is on the Mojeek side and there is nothing to fix at your end. A flat graph points at something local - your connection, your device, or your account.
Mojeek is down. What can I actually do?
When the reports are widespread, waiting is the honest answer - the search engine is being restored by people who already know about it. Before you settle in, it is worth checking your internet connection and reloading Mojeek once, because that rules out the handful of causes that look identical from your side.
Why is Mojeek working for other people but not for me?
Outages are often partial. They can hit one region, one platform, or one group of accounts while everything else carries on. Your own connection, an old app version or a cached login can also produce a problem only you can see.
