Error code 408 is a server timeout error. This means that the server did not receive a response from the client in time. This can happen for a number of reasons, including heavy traffic on the server, network problems, or the client taking too long to respond.

You are here because you have a question about:

  • transaction failed with error code 408

1. Check the URL to see if it is typed correctly

  1. Open the Web browser and type the URL into the address bar
  2. If the URL is correct, the Web browser should display a page that includes a green check mark next to the URL. If the URL is not correct, the Web browser should display an error message and the URL should not include a check mark.
  3. If the URL does not include a check mark, the Web browser may not be able to load the page and you may experience an error code 408. In this case, you should try to access the page using a different browser or try the steps below to fix the error code.
  4. If the URL includes a check mark, but the page does not load, you may need to fix the URL using the correct formatting or additional parameters. In some cases, the URL may need to be shortened or changed entirely.

2. Check to see if the website is down for maintenance

The first step is to check the website's status online. This can be done by searching for the website's name or address online. If the website is down for maintenance, the website's status will say "down for maintenance." The next step is to try to reach the website by calling its phone number or by sending an email. If the website is down for maintenance, the website's contact information will say " unavailable." If the website is still down for maintenance after trying to reach it online and by calling it, the next step is to try to access the website through a virtual private network (VPN). A VPN will allow you to access the website if it is down for maintenance.

3. Check your browser settings

  1. Open your browser and navigate to the “Help” menu.
  2. Select “Tools” and then “Internet Options”.
  3. On the “General” tab, click on the “Advanced” button.
  4. Scroll down to the “Browsing” section and click on the “Settings” button.
  5. Under the “Internet Options” heading, click on the “Security” tab.
  6. In the “Security” section, click on the “Advanced” button.
  7. In the “Advanced” tab, scroll down to the “Cookies” section and click on the “Settings” button.
  8. In the “Cookies” section, click on the “Accept Cookies” button.
  9. Click on the “OK” button.
