Is Node.js Down Right Now?
No, the Node.js website is not down right now. The official site is responding normally, and the report chart above shows no spike in developer complaints.
Node.js is the open-source JavaScript runtime created by Ryan Dahl in 2009, running millions of servers, CLIs, and build tools. Developers visit nodejs.org for downloads, documentation, and release news, while the npm registry at registry.npmjs.org serves the packages their projects install. Both are critical infrastructure for modern web development, and millions of developers around the world depend on them every single day. A Node.js outage or npm incident can stall builds worldwide, so the live graph above tracks real developer reports.
Is Node.js Down for Me or Everyone?
A sharp spike on the chart means many developers are reporting the same failure at once, which points to a real incident. If the chart is flat, your problem is probably your network, your npm cache, or a misconfigured registry URL.
That is the fastest Node.js status check. A calm chart means no Node.js outage, so clear your cache and check your registry settings.
Why Is npm Install Failing?
Install failures usually come from registry hiccups, not from nodejs.org itself. Recent incidents included login and package-viewing issues and degraded publish performance.
Check the npm status page first to rule out a registry incident. Clear your npm cache with npm cache clean –force and retry the install. A 404 on a package often means a typo in the name or a temporary metadata issue. Verify the name and try again in a few minutes.
Why Are Downloads Not Starting?
Download stalls usually come from CDN or network issues on your side. Try the download again, and switch networks if it keeps stopping partway.
If the main download link fails, the release pages list mirror links for every platform. Pick the installer that matches your operating system and architecture.
Why Are the Docs Not Loading?
The documentation pages are static and rarely go down. If they will not open, your DNS or network is the likely cause.
Flush your DNS cache and try a different network. The docs are also mirrored in the project’s source repositories as a backup.
How Do I Know If npm Has an Incident?
The npm status page posts active incidents with updates as engineers fix them. Watch it during widespread install failures before changing your own setup.
Common Node.js Problems and Fixes
These are the Node.js problems developers report most, with a fix for each. Registry and cache issues cause the majority of install failures.
npm install failing
Check the npm status page for incidents. Clear the cache with npm cache clean –force and retry the install.
404 on package install
Verify the package name is spelled right and exists. Retry in a few minutes if the registry had a temporary metadata issue.
Downloads stalling
Retry on a stable network and use a mirror link from the release page. Match the installer to your OS and architecture.
Docs not loading
Flush your DNS cache and try another network. Use the mirrored docs in the source repositories as a backup.
Website not loading
Hard-refresh and clear your cache. Test on mobile data to rule out a local network block.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I fix the ‘node is not recognized’ error on my computer?
That error means Node.js is missing from your system PATH. The installer usually adds it, but open terminals keep the old settings. Close and reopen your terminal, or reinstall Node.js and restart the computer.
Why is npm install failing?
Check the npm status page for registry incidents first. Then clear your npm cache and retry the install.
What does it mean when npm says my Node.js version is unsupported for a package?
Many packages now need a recent long-term support release of Node.js. Older versions trigger engine warnings or hard install errors. Install the current LTS release with a version manager like nvm, then run the install again.
Where is the npm status page?
npm runs an official status page that posts active incidents and maintenance with engineer updates.
Why do I get a 404 installing a package?
The name may be misspelled or the package metadata had a temporary issue. Verify the name and retry.
What should I check when my project breaks after I switch Node.js versions?
Projects depend on the Node.js version they were built with. Native modules and lock files often fail on a different release. Use a version manager like nvm to match each project to its required version.
