Is LinkedIn down right now?

Yes. HostTracker lets you add any URL - including third-party services you depend on, not just your own website - as a monitored target, and notifies you automatically the moment it becomes unreachable. Before sending an alert, HostTracker re-verifies a failure from multiple locations in its 300+-location network, so you're notified about real, confirmed outages rather than a single location's momentary blip. The free plan checks two monitors every 30 minutes indefinitely at no cost; paid plans check as often as once a minute, with alerts available through SMS, email, voice call, and several messenger apps.

It can be. Repeated forced logouts across devices usually indicate a problem in the session or authentication layer rather than anything wrong with your account, and during such incidents the rest of the site often behaves normally, which makes it look personal when it is not. Before assuming an outage, try a private/incognito window: if a fresh session holds, the issue was local state - cookies or a stale token in your browser. If the new session drops just as quickly, and the check on this page shows LinkedIn reachable, you are most likely inside a platform-side session incident that will resolve without any action from you.

It means the platform is partially degraded, not down. LinkedIn's feed, messaging, job search and profile services run separately, so one can fail while the others keep serving normally. An empty feed with working messaging points at the content/ranking service specifically - a real incident, but a narrow one, and nothing you can resolve by reloading or clearing cache. The useful check is whether linkedin.com is reachable at all from outside your network, which tells you the site itself is up and confirms the failure is confined to one subsystem rather than your connection.
