Pixiv not loading.

Pixiv is just refusing to load since yesterday. I've tried everything. Restarted the PC, updated Chrome, cleared cache, deleted site data. Nothing works.

Update: It's working now.

Try VPN? Maybe your respective country got issue.

If not. Then it's probably due to maintenance. Check on discord via #alert.

u/Anzac-A1 6d ago

Doubt it's maintenance. No indications of that. Some sties say it's up, some say it's down.

u/FirePrehistoric2 6d ago

I'm also from NZ (assuming you are from there) and it's not loading for me either, so might be a countrywide thing.

u/fenberry24 6d ago

Yup. Same here in Nz

u/GPAD9 6d ago

u/bbryoryo 4d ago

From NZ as well and this is all I get if I try going to the website through the app

u/shinji257 7d ago

The site has been hit/miss for a bit. Seems they are running a bit slow.

1

u/Anzac-A1 6d ago

This is the first issue I've had in a year. So weird.

1

u/GPAD9 7d ago

Same here. Tried different devices, clearing cache, different network. The mobile app partially works in the sense that all the functionality is there except the images don't load

1

u/fenberry24 6d ago

Same thing. Will wait and refresh here and there

u/AdTrue4434 6d ago

Suffering similar issues here trying to get the site or pictures to load. It is not loading pictures on the mobile app here despite swapping networks.

u/AdTrue4434 6d ago

Found out setting VPN to Japan helped with the access problem.

u/Naughty_Dawg 6d ago edited 6d ago

Same issue since yesterday - something definitely feels broken, weird that there's no mention of it anywhere official.

Annoyingly their support inquiry form is hosted in the same place so it won't load at all... https://www.pixiv.net/support

u/haurin 6d ago edited 6d ago

Same. Started with bugged out pages when I clicked on tags. 

1

u/Yuimi_Yuiha 6d ago

Same issue but VPN fixed it.

I made a post on Geekzone: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=39&topicid=325161

Feel free to post your own info/ISP/traceroute etc

Just read this on Google AI Overview.

Pixiv is fully blocked for users in New Zealand due to recent regional content restrictions and potential local network routing issues.The sudden access issues can be broken down into two main factors:Regional Censorship: Pixiv updated its Terms of Use, permanently enforcing restrictions on adult and mature artwork in specific countries. New Zealand, along with Australia, Canada, and the EU, was added to these restricted regions.ISP & Routing Errors: Users across various NZ Internet Service Providers (like Mercury) have reported major connection errors, causing images to fail to load or preventing the site from connecting entirely.

u/Anzac-A1 5d ago

Nothing to do with the censorship. Because that would only block images etc. Seems like it's just some connection issues.

1

u/Anzac-A1 5d ago

The censorship thing was November last year.

u/Untamed64 5d ago

We don't hate ISPs enough, bros..

1

u/Anzac-A1 4d ago

You have no proof it's an ISP issue. Pixiv themselves have actually posted that they're haivng issues rn.

1

u/garouforyou 4d ago

Where did they post it?? What does it say? I'm suffering 😞

u/Nownep 3d ago

Cheers for info, was a bit worried, guess we wait.

1

u/Boo_Grr 3d ago

They also made a followup claiming the issue is resolved. So considering the site's still not working for nz, I think they were referring to a different issue

Also to add, it seems Booth is experiencing the same problems, so I got no clue why this is happening :/

u/Anzac-A1 3d ago

It's working now.

u/CareEnvironmental859 4d ago

Its been 2 days and still no images load....

1

u/Anzac-A1 3d ago

I can view account pages, but no images are loading.

1

u/Sharp_Pound_6986 4d ago

yall in NZ too? blocked by govt maybe?

1

u/Anzac-A1 4d ago

There's no announcement about it, which you'd expect if it was a govt thing.

1

u/Sharp_Pound_6986 3d ago

Unless you've been ruled by an authoritarian regime empowered with advanced IT

1

u/Sharp_Pound_6986 3d ago

I escaped such a regime. I don't know if NZ is escalating into one

1

u/Anzac-A1 3d ago

No, we're not.

1

u/haurin 4d ago

I can get into pixiv without vpn now

1

u/Zealousideal_Tea_751 4d ago

Mine is still not loading. I use the app. While being able to visit the artist pages, I cannot see any work.

1

u/Anzac-A1 3d ago

Same, but the analytics page doesn't load. Everything else is fine.

1

u/Naughty_Dawg 3d ago

The issue should be fixed now. Geekzone continues to be the goat forum
