About Google status

Google is the foundational gateway to the modern internet, powering Google Search, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Meet, and Google Cloud Platform. Outages can disrupt work, education, and commerce across the globe.

Google services operate on sophisticated modular architectures: Google Search can function normally while Gmail experiences delivery delays, or Google Docs may fail to sync while search operates without incident.

We ping primary Google services every minute and aggregate global user reports for swift troubleshooting clarity.

How to troubleshoot Google issues

1. Identify specifically which product is stalling (Search, Gmail, Drive, Docs, or Meet) by opening other Google tools.
2. If Gmail is failing in the web browser, try testing the mobile app or third-party IMAP client.
3. Enable Google Docs/Sheets offline mode to continue editing documents even during network or server hiccups.
4. Check this page and report your issue to help fellow internet users verify real-time availability.

How do we determine Google's status?

The status you see is derived from two combined data streams:

• Automated health checks — Our servers perform direct connectivity and latency checks to Google every minute and log response times.
• Community reports — Visitors experiencing problems can report outage categories: cannot access, extremely slow, login failure, app crashes, or other.

If the number of reports in the last 15 minutes spikes significantly above the daily baseline, the status escalates to "Possible Issues" or "Outage" even if automated pings still succeed. This reflects how major outage trackers operate: web servers may reply while primary customer services are down.

Google having issues but status here shows normal?

Service outages are frequently localized: problems may stem from your cellular provider, home Wi-Fi, regional DNS, or an outdated app version. If you are confident Google is having an outage while status here shows green, report it via the Report Outage button on the dashboard — your report is factored in immediately to assist fellow users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my browser say "Google cannot be reached" when other sites open?
Test non-Google websites to verify network health. If other sites work, the issue may be Google edge server latency or ISP DNS resolution problems; switching DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 can resolve routing issues.

Why is Gmail failing to send emails when Google Search is fine?
Gmail relies on dedicated mail exchange and authentication microservices separate from web search. Check the official Google Workspace Status Dashboard for detailed service-by-service uptime.

How quickly is this page updated?
Automated health checks run every minute and results are pushed in real time (SSE) to the dashboard without requiring a page reload.
