In Progress

Keep getting 503 errors

For the past month or so I have been getting the error "Something went wrong. Please reload the page and try again" on IMDb. I use IMDb a lot and it seems I can't view more than a few pages at a time (maybe 3 mins of use) before the error happens and it's broken for about 10 minutes before it starts working again. 

What I have already tried:

  • Cleared cache and cookies
  • Signed out completely
  • Created a new Chrome profile
  • Tried multiple browsers
  • Used a VPN
  • Disabled all browser extensions
  • Disabled Kaspersky script injection
  • Flushed DNS

What does work:

  • IMDb app
  • incognito mode

When the error occurs, the Network tab shows 503 responses on whatever page I'm on and the favicon.ico.

Thanks for the problem report and sorry for the inconvenience.  Please provide more details on which system(s) you have tried this on — Windows / Mac and which browser versions? In which country are you located and do you have the same issues when using a browser on a phone to access IMDb while connected via WiFi to the same network? 

It looks like you are triggering our new robot detection rules so something about your access looks automated even though it is clearly not.

Hi, I am on Windows 10 and using Chrome Version 153.0.8010.37 (Official Build) (64-bit). I am in Australia and using it on a browser on my phone connected to the same WiFi works fine.

Hi, I don't know why shows me an error message when I browse at imdb.com in any device and any browser. I did it everything possible. What do you do is blocking the page. Please solve this fin.
