About BILD problems

BILD is a German news site with advertising and the paid BILDplus subscription, so problems can involve pages or videos that do not load, ad-blocker notices or BILDplus subscription content. Our check observed bild.de forwarding to www.bild.de, which is a normal redirect, not an error. If BILDplus articles stay locked, check that you are signed in with the account that holds the subscription.

Official information

How this check works

  • One measurement location (single-self-hosted-probe), not a worldwide test.
  • We read only the response headers of the HTTPS homepage; page content and features are not tested.
  • We follow at most 5 HTTPS redirects and check every new address again.
  • The whole check stops after 10 seconds.
  • Results are reused for 60 seconds; this page refreshes its saved check at most every 10 minutes.

Typical BILD problems

An editorial list of typical problems, not based on live user reports.

  • Address forwards to www.bild.de The short address bild.de forwards to www.bild.de, so a redirect here is expected and only a problem if the forwarding never ends. Guide: 301 Moved Permanently
  • Notice about ad blockers Sites with advertising such as BILD may show a notice to visitors with an ad blocker, and blocking extensions can also stop parts of the page from loading. Guide: ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT
  • BILDplus articles stay locked BILDplus articles need an active subscription and a signed-in account, so check that you are signed in with the right account on this device.
  • Videos do not play BILD videos stream over your connection and can stop when the device switches between Wi-Fi and mobile data, so reload the video on a stable network. Guide: ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED
  • Page does not load on one network If www.bild.de does not open on one network but works on another, the problem is near you, such as a router, DNS setting or network filter. Guide: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

General fixes: News

  1. Allow the site in your blocker News sites financed by ads may show a notice or hide content while an ad blocker is active. Allow the site in the blocker if you want to read without the notice.
  2. Sign in for subscription articles Paid articles need you to be signed in on the device you use. Sign in again if articles you pay for appear locked.
  3. Reload live pages once Live tickers and breaking news pages change often. Reload once, and if the page stays blank, try a private window.
