Common Crave Problems
When Crave experiences issues, users typically encounter one or more of the following problems. Knowing what to look for helps you determine whether the issue is on your end or a widespread outage.
- Connection timeouts — The service takes too long to respond, often caused by server overload or network congestion between you and Crave.
- Slow loading or degraded performance — Pages, feeds, or content load partially or much slower than usual, indicating Crave servers are under heavy load.
- Login and authentication failures — Unable to sign in, getting "invalid credentials" errors, or being logged out repeatedly even with correct details.
- Error pages (500, 502, 503) — Crave returns server error codes, meaning backend services are failing or undergoing maintenance.
- Regional or partial outages — Crave works in some locations but not others, often due to CDN issues or localized infrastructure problems.

If Crave appears to be down, follow these steps before assuming a widespread outage. Many issues can be resolved on your end in just a few minutes.
- 1Verify the outageCheck this status page to confirm Crave is actually experiencing issues. If our monitors show "operational," the problem may be local to your device or network.
- 2Check your internet connectionTry loading other websites. If nothing loads, restart your router or switch from WiFi to mobile data. A quick speed test can confirm whether your connection is the issue.
