Is Goodreads down, or is it just you?
Multiple independent check rounds from rimetry's monitoring infrastructure, run seconds apart.
Our checks reached Goodreads successfully in every round of the last check cycle.
| Check round | Last check | Success rate (24h) | Avg response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Reachable | 100% | 1,087 ms |
| Round 2 | Reachable | 100% | 1,034 ms |
| Round 3 | Reachable | 100% | 828 ms |
| Round 4 | Reachable | 100% | 913 ms |
Based on 360 automated checks in the last 24 hours. Each round is an independent pass over the same endpoint, seconds apart — a single failing round is not an outage; repeated failures across rounds are.

About Goodreads
Goodreads is a social platform where readers maintain digital bookshelves, write book reviews, and track their annual reading challenges. The site facilitates community discussion groups and provides recommendations based on user ratings and genres. When the service experiences downtime, users often report errors when updating their current reading progress or failures in the search function when looking for specific titles. This page on Rimetry tracks whether the platform is responding to requests from different geographic points to confirm general availability.
Problems with Goodreads can affect website, login & authentication, feed & timeline independently.
Goodreads (goodreads.com) is a social service monitored continuously by rimetry's automated checks. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds in repeated independent rounds to detect outages and latency spikes the moment they happen.
Right now Goodreads is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 497 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to goodreads.com are seeing it work normally.
Common causes of disruption for services like Goodreads include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.
