Just when it seemed the Down Detector reports were starting to decline, a new batch of users flooded the website to report outages. Now, it has jumped to around 3,600 reports, which is higher than when this outage first started.

I was playing with the Walmart website to see if I could find anything to break, and I managed to get an error while clicking the Toys section under New. The error read “Uh-oh. This page could not be found.”

If you’re experiencing a similar error, know you’re not alone, as I got it, too.

Some users have started posting on X to Walmart stating that the app is having issues and they can’t get anything to load. For its part, Walmart didn’t have any information in its responses, instead asking the users to send them a direct message.

There’s a slight drop in the Down Detector reports, with it currently sitting at just over 3,000. That could be a good sign that Walmart is getting things back to normal, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Users are taking to the Down Detector comments section to sound off on what’s happening with Walmart. It’s nothing too surprising, but it does appear to be primarily focused around not being able to add items to their cart. So even if you can access the Walmart website right now, you might find that you can’t actually buy anything.

While we usually see a lot outage reports centered around Boston and New York City, this one is focused in Tampa, Los Angelas Phoenix and other southern cities in the U.S. (with a small blip in Chicago).

For my end, Walmart is working fine. I can add items to my cart and browse the site in the same way as normal (I’m based on Connecticut).

Walmart users quickly sent the Down Detector reports up to around 3,500, which is a lot relative to the baseline of of two. Additionally, for a website that doesn’t draw as many users as something like Zoom (which was down for a good part of the day yesterday), this is larger number of reports.
