Washington Post not loading

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.

Washington Post loads very slowly

If Washington Post 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.

  1. Check internet connection
    The reasons why Washington Post 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 Washington Post 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 The Washington Post, 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.

  2. When I try to login to Washington Post on my Chromebook, a window on top left appears, that seems like it would open to a different format. But nothing happens and when I try to leave, I can’t. I have to log off my Chromebook. Basically my laptop just freezes there. I’ve called/chatted with them. They haven’t been able to fix it so far.

    WaPo Android App won’t update. Error message “unable to load content” appears. Other apps on phone work well; content updates. Internet access is strong. The WaPo app has been deleted and reinstalled twice with the same results. And, yes, I’m signed in. Any help would be appreciated.

  30. For two days the app keeps telling me that it is unable to load, please try again. I have uninstalled and re the program, to no avail.

    I’ve always gotten WaPo home page on my desktop. In the last week it starts to load, I see headlines briefly then get headings only such as “Opinion.” Other sections load, NY Times loads normally. I’ve restarted, signed out and in. Very frustrating! I miss my WaPo front page!

  32. I have an account with the Washington Post. For the past week I link to the WashPost homepage and then two seconds later the entire page disappears. When the content disappears the address in the browser is: washingtonpost.com/?nid. I am using Mozilla Firefox 100.0 on an Apple iMac (27 inch, 2017) running iOS BigSur 11.6.5. This is a new development as I have been a subscriber for years. Please advise how I can continue to view content on the iMac. The full website works fine on my iPad and iPhone.
