All about the best cell phones

LinkedIn, the preferred social network for coaches and other users focused on professional growth, went offline on Tuesday (23/02). Initially reported as a local problem in the United States, any Brazilian who accesses the platform is encountering slow, incomplete pages that often do not load.

More than just a social network, LinkedIn is a portal of opportunities for those who put together their resumes, connections and publications on the network. The platform has a job bank and also resumes, and is widely used for recruitment. The instability today can leave many people biting their nails because of this. Despite this, Microsoft (which is website owner) is already aware of the problem. A notice posted on the platform's official Twitter profile states that the company is already working to get the site back online.

Some users are experiencing an issue when accessing LinkedIn on mobile and desktop. We’re working on this as we go and will provide updates as we get them. Thank you for your patience!

According to the Redmond giant, LinkedIn is down due to a problem that causes some requests to the service's API to be slow, which is a set of codes responsible for providing the user with exactly the information they need to access. Due to this failure, the connection between the user and the page is not being established in most attempts. Those who manage to advance a little are stuck at an access barrier with a request to solve captchas.

In any case, there is already a significant number of complaints on social media. According to Down Detector — which monitors offline websites — more than a thousand users have been reporting problems with LinkedIn per hour. According to the portal, the last time Microsoft's platform experienced instability that took the site down for users was on August 26, 2020.
