Depends on the issue. From the Discord:

Site access issue diagnostics Is MangaDex down or is it me? It's probably you, but check https://status.mangadex.org/. If it is you, there are many possible causes, so it's important to know exactly which one is affecting you. Please be specific.

1. Infinite spinner in the middle of the page

One of:

• your browser's cache is stale

one of your extensions is being stupidyour browser is too oldyou can't reach us reliably Try in private/incognito mode. If that works, clear your browser's cache then refresh. If it doesn't work outside of incognito, disable your extensions 1 by 1 until it works. If that didn't work provide both of the following:

• go to https://www.whatsmybrowser.org/ and share the link they give you

a screenshot of your browser's console (F12 -> Console) if on desktop

1. Certificate error (or SSL_CERT...)

Your antivirus (usually McAfee) or your router (often on TrendMicro/Asus routers) is flagging MangaDex as dangerous and trying to hijack your access to it. You have 2 options: a. whitelist https://mangadex.org and https://*.mangadex.org in your antivirus/router's settings b. don't use McAfee and/or disable your router's security (it flagging MD proves it's garbage if that was necessary)

1. Domain not found (or NXDOMAIN, ...)

Your ISP is most likely lying about our IP address. Run the following on the command line nslookup mangadex.org and compare the resolved IP with the one at https://dns.google/query?name=mangadex.org. If they don't match, your ISP is lying. You will have to change your DNS servers (use Google's or Cloudflare's) or use a VPN (Cloudflare Warp and ProtonVPN are excellent and free).

1. Timeout / Connection refused

Go to step 3 first. If that didn't apply, try with a VPN (see: go to step 2).
