Grok won't open on grok.com? Fix it

If you're trying to access Grok via grok.com and it's not loading, responding, or giving an error, the first step is to confirm whether there's a wider service issue or something local to your setup.

Check Grok's Status Pages

1. Official Grok Status: The most reliable source for outage information is the official Grok status page. Visit this page first to see if any service disruptions or maintenance are reported.
2. Grok Support Status: We also maintain a Grok Support status page with real-time updates and incident reports. Check here for additional context or community reports.
3. X Status Page: If you're experiencing issues specifically within the X app, also check the status page for X, as Grok's functionality within the X app can be tied to X's overall service health.

Troubleshooting Browser and Connection Issues

If status pages indicate everything is operational, the problem likely lies with your browser or internet connection. Try these steps:

1. Refresh the Page: Sometimes a simple browser refresh (F5 or Cmd+R) can resolve temporary loading glitches.
2. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Accumulated browser data can interfere with website functionality.
   • Google Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data. Select 'Cached images and files' and 'Cookies and other site data', then click 'Clear data'.
   • Mozilla Firefox: Go to Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data.... Select both options and click 'Clear'.
   • Apple Safari: Go to Safari > Clear History.... You might need to go to Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data... to remove specific Grok data.
   After clearing, restart your browser and try grok.com again.
3. Try a Different Browser: If Grok loads correctly in another browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari), the issue is specific to your primary browser's settings or extensions.
4. Disable Browser Extensions: Ad blockers, privacy tools, or other extensions can sometimes conflict with websites. Try disabling them one by one, then reload Grok.
5. Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure your Wi-Fi or wired connection is stable. Try accessing other websites or services to confirm internet connectivity. Restart your modem/router if necessary.
6. Restart Your Device: A full reboot of your computer can resolve underlying system issues affecting network or browser performance.
7. Check for Browser Updates: Ensure your web browser is updated to the latest version. Outdated browsers can have compatibility issues.
8. Try a Different Network: If possible, try accessing Grok from a different internet connection (e.g., your phone's hotspot) to rule out network-specific restrictions or problems.
