ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

The browser sent packets and nothing came back within the time limit. Unlike a refused connection, this is silence rather than rejection.

What causes it

  • A firewall dropping traffic instead of rejecting it.
  • The server is up but too overloaded to accept new connections.
  • A routing problem between you and the server.
  • The server has been shut down or its IP has changed.

If you are the visitor

  • Test on a different network — mobile data is the quickest check.
  • Turn off VPNs and proxies.
  • Restart your router, which clears both its DNS cache and its NAT table.

If it is your website

  • Check server load and connection limits.
  • Check the firewall is not silently dropping traffic from certain ranges.
  • Confirm the DNS record still points at the right IP.
