  • Firewall and Antivirus - sometimes Firewall and Antivirus software might block access to specific websites or services. You can temporarily disable them to check if that solves the problem.

  • DNS Cache - Clear your DNS cache (Google for how-to instructions). All OS systems (Mac, Windows, Linux) save name resolution information into the DNS cache to speed things up. The data stored might be too old or invalid.

Frequently Asked Questions

It seems that the website Ed.gov might be experiencing temporarily outage

The most likely reason why FAFSA is slow for you might be your Internet connection. If you are 100% sure it is not the internet speed, here are a few things to look at clearing your cache, app update, and possible outage on FAFSA's end.

HTTP response status codes are a way for the server to communicate with the client's browser about how the request was processed. These three-digit codes provide a concise and quick way to understand the server's response.
  • 2XX - Success (The website is up and running and reachable)

  • 3XX – Redirect (The webpage is reachable, but redirects your browser to a different webpage)

  • 4XX – Browser Error (The webpage does not exist)

  • 5XX – Server Error (The server has internal errors)

Server response time is used to measure a website's performance. It measures how long it takes for a browser to receive data back from the server after a successful request.
