What Causes Hulu to keep Buffering?
The reason for this issue is not specific, but according to our research and Hulu’s article about this issue, we found some of the reasons related to it Now that you have a basic understanding of the nature of the problem we will move forward towards the solutions. Make sure Hulu servers are not down by checking it on “DownDetector”.
Solution 1: Checking the Updates
Running a Hulu application or the device on previous OS versions may trigger the buffering issue for the user, due to compatibility with Hulu’s latest services. You can solve that by installing the latest updates available. Browser: Users don’t need to download and install the updates for browser, because most modern web browsers will automatically update to the latest version available. Application or System Updates: Hulu users on the phone or TV can check the updates for application in the app store and for a system in the settings. But if the auto-update option is ON, it will update automatically.
Solution 2: Checking Application and Device Problem

Solution 3: Checking your Internet Connection
Having a slow or bad internet is probably the reason why videos are buffering on Hulu. And there are speed requirements for Hulu videos with different resolutions. Make sure that no other devices are using the same internet because it will drop the speed for your Hulu videos and resulting in buffering. Computer or console users can change Wi-Fi to Ethernet cable, which will be a great help (you cannot do this on a mobile device). Your internet speed must match the required speed for Hulu videos. These are speed requirements for Hulu videos: 720p – 3 MB/s 1080p – 6 MB/s 4k – 13 MB/s
Solution 4: Changing Browser
Another workaround that seemed to work for a lot of the people was changing the browser which they were using for Hulu. Every browser has different temporary data and configurations which get loaded whenever you launch the website and stream. As it turns out, your browser might have bad data which may cause further delays in the streaming process. Try using Hulu in another browser that you don’t use regularly (for example, Firefox or Edge) and see if the issue persists. If it doesn’t, you can continue reinstalling your current browser and see if this does the trick.
