The social network for Microsoft professionals stopped working around 10 p.m. in mainland Europe and for 45 minutes, preventing contact news from loading and even the main page from loading.

We are actively working on this and will provide updates as soon as we have them. Thank you for your patience!” he explained on the server status page.

Concretely, the company itself admitted that its sales browser had been down for almost five hours this afternoon, from 2:33 p.m. to 7:16 p.m. Spanish peninsular time. A breakdown which then recurred at 10:04 p.m. across the entire platform.
According to reports from Fault detector, the most reported problems concern both the website and the application, which implies a total drop in service on Wednesday evening. Specifically, users who can open the application see a LinkedIn notification indicating that “there was a problem. We’re having trouble loading this page, making it impossible to move on from there.
Unlike Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp, LinkedIn is a professional social network aimed at establishing connections between professionals from various sectors. Although it is free, it has a paid subscription system, consisting of different plans such as Business, Talent (for personnel recruiters), Job Seeker (for professionals looking for work) or Sales ( for salespeople); It is therefore also a place to learn about the situation in the sector and develop possible businesses.
