Google goes down for a Few Minutes, Web Traffic Drops 40 percent


The event, which began at 23:52 BST, affected every single service Google offers which include YouTube and Gmail. Everything went dark for between one and five minutes, but was back online by 23:57.

A huge drop was see by Web Analytics company GoSquared in pageviews as a result - approximately 40 percent. The dip was followed by a spike up again, as users managed to reach their destination.

Google declined to comment on the problem, but the company's Apps Status Dashboard notes a service outage.

"Between 15:51 and 15:52 PDT, 50 percent to 70 percent of requests to Google received errors; service was mostly restored one minute later, and entirely restored after 4 minutes," the company said
