Jira Not Loading: Blank Page or Spinning Board

Workaround available Web Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

A blank Jira page or endlessly spinning board is usually caused by a browser extension, stale cache/cookies or an Atlassian incident. Test in a private window with extensions off and hard-refresh.

Most likely fix: Open Jira in a private window.

Symptoms

Issue pages or dashboards render blank, boards keep spinning, only part of a board loads, or it works in one browser but not another.

Why it happens

  • Browser extensions (ad blockers, monitoring/RUM extensions) breaking scripts
  • Stale cache or cookies
  • Browser-specific bugs (reported in Firefox after UI updates)
  • Atlassian Cloud incident
  • Data Center: broken announcement banner HTML or incompatible app after upgrade

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Open Jira in a private window

    1. Open an incognito/private window with all extensions disabled
    2. Load the same page; if it works, re-enable extensions one by one to find the culprit

  2. 2. Hard refresh and clear site data

    1. Press Ctrl+F5 (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac)
    2. Clear cache and cookies for your *.atlassian.net site
    3. Sign in again

  3. 3. Try another browser and check status

    1. Load the page in Chrome or Edge if Firefox fails (and vice versa)
    2. Check status.atlassian.com for an incident

  4. 4. Collect errors for support

    1. Open DevTools (F12) > Console and Network tabs
    2. Reload and note red errors or failed requests
    3. Send them with your browser version to Atlassian Support
