Zwift down? The answer is at the top of this page. Appys checks Zwift’s official status page as you arrive, so what you see is never more than a few minutes old. Below is what to check on your side, what to do while you wait, and how to hear when it’s fixed.
Zwift down for everyone, or just you?
If the status above says Zwift is working normally but it isn’t working for you, the problem is most likely closer to home. Press Is it just me? at the top of the page: your own device and our server both try to reach zwift.com, and the answer tells you which side the problem is on.
Then try these quick checks:
- Open Zwift on another network, such as mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.
- Try a different browser or a private window, to rule out an old cache or a browser extension.
- Restart your router if lots of websites are slow, not just this one.
- Make sure your device’s date and time are set automatically: a wrong clock can stop secure connections.
- Check that your watch, ring or bike still connects to your phone, and that the app is up to date.
Zwift down? What to do while you wait
- Check which part is affected. Zwift splits its status into 8 parts, listed under What Zwift reports on above, so a problem in one may not touch the ones you use.
- Keep recording: workouts and sleep saved on your device usually sync once it’s back.
- Don’t unpair or reset your device; it rarely helps and can lose data that hasn’t synced.
- If a class or ride won’t load, try a downloaded one or come back later.
- Keep this page open: the status changes by itself when Zwift posts the fix, so there’s no need to keep refreshing.
If it drags on and the work can’t wait, the alternatives near the top of this page are other workout services that are working right now.
Why apps like Zwift go down
Fitness apps usually go down after updates, at busy times such as the new year, or when the service that syncs your data has problems. Even big outages are often partial, hitting one feature, one region or one group of users rather than everyone. That’s why Zwift can work fine for you while its status page reports a problem, or the other way round.
How Appys checks Zwift
Every status on this page comes from Zwift’s official status page, where Zwift’s own team posts problems and fixes. Its status page covers 8 parts: Zwift Companion, ZwiftPower, Log In, Payment Processing, Account Creation, New Partner Connections, Zwift Game and Zwift Website. Appys reads it whenever someone opens this page and regularly in between, keeps a record of every problem it posts and works out the 90-day uptime from that record. We never change what Zwift says, and nobody can pay to change a status or a record.
A quiet status page doesn’t always mean nothing is wrong: some companies post small problems late, or not at all. That’s why this page also shows how openly Zwift reports its problems.
How long do Zwift outages last?
It depends on what broke. Small problems are often fixed within the hour, while a big outage can take most of a day. The history above lists every problem Zwift has posted recently, when each one started and how long it took to fix, so you can see what’s normal for Zwift rather than guessing. While a problem is open, the latest update from Zwift is shown at the top of this page.
