Popular social media service X, formerly Twitter, is down for the second time in a single day as users from all over the world have reported incidents of an outage.

Unlike the first one, the latest incident seems to be for a longer duration, and as of writing, the servers still remain out of service. While the exact cause behind the incident is unknown, here’s what you can to in the meantime that ensure that there are no problems from your end.

How to check X server status

The best way to check server status for X is using Downdetector. Usually, you’ll see a spike in the number of users reporting outages in your region. This can be used to check the server status of any website, but it’s extra helpful in case a social media site like X goes down. Usually, a lot of gaming studios will announce about servers being down on social media platforms like X. In this case, relying on third-party sites like Downdetector is the only solution.

Usually, there’s not much to do from your end if the servers are down. Whatever the cause might be, it has to be fixed from X’s end, and it can take a long time. We have had major outages back in 2024, when the site was down right after Elon Musk completed his takeover. Whether the latest outage stretches for a similarly long period remains to be seen.

If you want to check the server status (of X or of another platform), just complete the following steps.

  • Go to Downdetector
  • Select your region.
  • Type in the name of the service you want to check.
  • If there’s a spike of red towers, it simply means that the servers are down.
  • If there is no spike of red towers and you still can’t access the servers, chances are that the issue is at your end.
