Google Search: the full evidence record

The last 24 hours in detail, 60 days of measured availability, a 12-month summary, our own incident log, Google Search's declared record, and how the two compare.

← Back to Google Search's live status

We started measuring Google Search on August 8, 2026, which is 60 days ago. Everything below covers that period, not the full 90 days a longer-tracked service would show.

Measured by our own probes from ten regions, not Google Search's status page. One email when a measured outage opens and one when it closes, after you confirm the address. No account, no card.

The last 24 hours

What happened most recently, on one time axis: our own probe readings by surface, how many people reported a problem, and what Google Search's own status page declared. Below it, any public chatter we saw about Google Search and the extra probe it triggered.

The last 24 hours on one axis: what our probes read for each surface we check, how many people reported a problem, and what Google Search's own status page declared. Three records side by side; none of them changes another.

Our probes, web
Our probes, api (primary)
Unverified user reportsNo reports about Google Search in the last 24 hours, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.
Google Search's status pageGoogle Search publishes no status feed we can read, so there is nothing to show here.

Each probe cell is the worst reading across every region in that quarter hour: one region that did not answer colours the cell, never an average. An amber cell is a reading that answered, but at three times or more its 7-day median for three checks running: slow is not down, and we say which. A filtered reading stays neutral, because a refused probe is not an outage. Report bars count unverified reports, not people we verified; they never change our reading. The status-page lane is Google Search's own declaration, shown as they made it.

Third-party chatter, labeled

Public posts from the last hour that mention Google Search next to an outage word (“down”, “outage”, “not working”). This is what other people said in public, collected by keyword: not something we measured, and not the user reports above. It never affects the verdict.

Availability by region

Availability is measured probes that succeeded, divided by every probe we attempted, per region. Not interpolated, not smoothed, and never computed for a region with zero recorded samples.

Monthly summary

Tracking Google Search since Aug 8, 2026. In that time our probes detected 1 outage, 6 min in total. Months before that date are not tracked and carry no figure.

Uptime here is the share of each month in which our probes had no outage open for Google Search: two consecutive failed readings from a region opens one, the first clean reading closes it. Any detected outage counts, including one seen from a single region, and an outage that crosses midnight on the first of a month is counted in both months with its minutes split. User reports, public posts and Google Search's own status page contribute nothing to these figures.

Our incident log

Every outage our own probes detected for Google Search in the last 90 days, or since we started measuring it if that is more recent. This list is probe-only: Google Search's own declared incidents appear further down this page in their own attributed section, never merged with what we measured here. User reports live on the live page, in their own labeled block.

Permanent incident records

Every closed Google Search incident RealUptime has ever detected gets its own permanent, citable page: the region-by-region timeline, exactly as measured, that stays up even after the incident log above ages out of this 90-day window.

The scorecard

How Google Search's status page compared with what we measured, for every outage above that falls inside the window we have been capturing their claims.

We started recording Google Search's own status page on August 20, 2026, 46 days ago. This comparison covers that period only, we do not reconstruct what they said before it, and we compare only inside outages we measured ourselves.

outages compared: 1 (1 with no claim of theirs on record)
Sep 20, 2026, 10:34 AM UTC to Sep 20, 2026, 10:40 AM UTCNo claim recorded
single region

We measured Google Search down in one of our regions (Australia), and we hold no readable reading of their status page from inside that window. We do not score this one.

Australia: measured down 6 minutes.

We hold no reading of their status page covering 6 minutes of it. That time counts neither for nor against them.

Google Search decides what their status page covers, and it may report per component while our check reaches one surface from ten regions. We state what each side measured and leave the conclusion to you. If Google Search believes a figure here is wrong, we publish corrections as prominently as the original.
