Intermittent Website Outage
Hey everyone,
We’re aware that MangaDex has been experiencing intermittent outages over the past few hours. The issue started around 15:00 UTC and is currently being investigated by our team.
We appreciate your patience while we work on getting everything back to normal. Updates will be posted here as we have them.
Thanks for sticking with us!
For any questions you might have, we'll try to answer them as soon as we can.
Update - 2025-03-16 20:56 UTC
Emergency fixes have been applied, but further long-term improvements are still needed. Expect occasional instability while we continue working on a more permanent solution.
Update #2 - 2025-03-16 22:49 UTC
A fix has been applied, which allows the site itself to run fast.
However, image delivery is still extremely slow but should recover over the next few hours.
Update #3 - 2025-03-17 20:01 UTC
Image loading has become extremely slow again in some regions.
We have a rough idea of the cause, but addressing it isn't straightforward.
The team is actively working on a solution.
Thanks for your patience!
Update #4 - 2025-03-17 22:55 UTC
If you want the images to load a bit faster but don't mind the image quality from being a bit worse (not a really noticeable difference), we recommend turning the data saver mode on, since that will download the lower quality version of the images, helping to reduce both data consumption on your side and bandwidth and strain on our network.
Update #5 - 2025-03-18 06:00 UTC
The issue seems to have been fixed, but we will continue monitoring. Have fun reading!
