According to the monitoring site, 76% of reported issues were associated with the LinkedIn website.
It’s unclear exactly what caused the problems but reports are dropping off now.
The LinkedIn website suggested it was a server issue.
People reported seeing a notice which read: “Unable to locate the server, the server does not have a DNS entry”.
DNS stands for Domain Name System and that’s software that takes human names and can convert them to an IP address.
That’s something very important when you’re searching for user profiles on LinkedIn.
There have been over 5,000 reports of issues in the US.
Thousands of issues were also reported in the UK.

Another tweeted LinkedIn directly and said: “What’s wrong with the webpage?
“It looks to be down. Lot’s of reports from other users here on Twitter as well.”
