craigslist not loading

You want to download or update craigslist and it takes forever for the download to start or for the app to be completely downloaded because it just won’t load. Many then desperately try to restart the download of craigslist, but this does not lead to any useful result either.

The next attempt by many will be to check the internet connection. But the WLAN shows full reception and it still doesn’t work or works very slowly.

craigslist loads very slowly

If craigslist is downloading very slowly, it could also be due to the size of the app itself. The progress bar gives you a slow download, but this may only appear because of the size of the app. In the event of an update, you can check in the respective app store how big the installation file is and see whether it may load for so long due to its size.

In order for the craigslist download to work:

We hope that the following solutions help so that you can load craigslist and the download doesn’t take forever. If you know of other possible solutions, we look forward to receiving a message from you at the end of this article.

  1. Check internet connection
    The reasons why craigslist cannot be loaded cannot be more different. In most cases it is due to your own internet connection. It is quite possible that your device is in a WiFi network, but it still does not work, so you should try to access a website on the Internet using your browser. If this works fine, then it’s not your smartphone or tablet. If you try to download the app via the mobile network (which is not recommended because of the data consumption), then you should check how stable the mobile connection is. Perhaps your data volume has also been used up and is therefore only available slowly.It can also happen that a download from the mobile network is not possible due to your settings.
    In this case you should check the settings for mobile data on your device.
  2. Restart smartphone or tablet
    Often there are problems with the App Store after updating the Android or iOS operating system. After the system has been updated, it may well happen that the connection with the login data for the respective store no longer works securely. In this case you should restart your smartphone or tablet, which will reload all settings and functions and, if necessary, re-establish connections to the App Store.
  3. Check server status
    If a restart and a working internet connection did not solve the problem and craigslist still loads slowly or not at all, then it could also be on the servers of the iTunes Store for iOS or for Android on the servers of the Google Play Store lie. It shouldn’t be due to the servers of the developer craigslist, as the app is on the App Store servers, in rare cases these can be overloaded or malfunctions occur due to maintenance work.
    check Apple server status
    check Google server status
  4. For Android: Empty the cache and delete the data in the Play Store
    This will restart the app completely and problems may be resolved.

    1. Open the “ Settings ” app on the device.
    2. Tap Apps & Notifications then click View all apps .
    3. Scroll down and tap Google Play Store.
    4. Tap Memory Empty cache .
    5. Then tap on Clear data .
    6. Open the Play Store again and try the download again.

So, we hope the tips and tricks were helpful and the craigslist download works again quickly and without any problems.

By the way there may be other problems and errors that you may find in the overview of all craigslist problems .

If you continue to have problems and craigslist is still loading slowly, we look forward to hearing from you.

  13. Your website will not load it just has a blank white page, if I try to scroll up and down it shows a few words on the bottom of the page that turns back to white, this has been happening for a few days now, not sure what is going on.

  35. Craigslist not loading

  36. The photos for a Craigslist listing for sale cars and trucks in different items do not appear

  37. HI , I cant load craigslist after the app opens when i click on a it trys for SECOND but nothing comes up

  38. Per my comment on 6-7-2021, as of 6-8-2021, the issue no longer applies since I can now access the various categories that I addressed. No sure what has caused the issue to resolve by itself in the Chrome browser!

    • Today, 6-13-21, I am experiencing the same issue from 6-7-2021. I did send an email reply through a Craigslist listing yesterday and did receive a reply back. Maybe that is related to the current issue of the Craigslist categories not opening in the Chrome browser!

  39. 6-7-2021…Using a 2017 iMac in High Sierra using Chrome browser Version 83.0.4103.116 (Official Build) (64-bit) and internet cable , the main webpage for Detroit Metro Craigslist or any area will load but when any categories are accessed (clicked on with right mouse button), the accessed category will not load and a blank webpage is viewed. I have to switch to the Firefox browser to access the Craigslist categories!

  40. In an individual Craigslist ad there is an annoying time lapse between the appearance of the item description and the picture of the item.
