This seems like it was a brief outage over night.
Google confirmed it had an issue serving search results earlier this morning at around 1:30 am ET on Wednesday, February 25th. The issue seemed to be fixed very quickly and we didn’t see a huge number of complaints about the issue.
Google posted a notice saying, “We fixed the issue with serving search results. There will be no more updates.”
Why we care. If your website noticed a drop in traffic around midnight last night, it may be related to this serving issue.
Again, it seems the serving issue was discovered and fixed very quickly but just because Google posted the issue and resolved it within a minute, it does not mean the serving issue was only a minute. Rather, this is when Google posted the notices. Google did say the issue lasted about 15 minutes.
