I'm seeing a very slow response time loading up www.google.com. I don't see the issue with any other site. Anybody else?


Edit: Make that searches are also down. :eek:
What do we do down! We are doomed!

Both home page and searches working perfectly for me. You on the other hand are doomed!

I think my client is going to have to shut down for the day. I mean the Internetz might as well be considered closed for the day! :p

Slow for me too. In fact, I'm still waiting for gmail to even come up. I think something's up with Google.

That might work if the page loaded.

It does, eventually load. Basically there is a GMail problem for some users.

Mine never did. It's more than that; I can't even get www.google.com to load, let alone gmail.

Oh well, it didn't come up, but I'm sure they're working furiously on it.

I'm not having any problems with Google or my Gmail account right now. I wonder why it's only affecting some users?

The status didn't list anything for today (that I saw), but as of a few minutes ago it is back to its former quick self.

We need a contingency plan for when The Google is down!

I just reset my router/modem combo and that seems to have done the job. If you are having issues give it a shot

Load balancing most likely and users were redirected to a site with issues. Not everyone hits the same server nor the same location when loading the page. For that matter, one may hit several locations during use.

OC-3 here and not bringing the entire company down to test it. ;)

At least we are not imagining it: Cnet report. (http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10240875-93.html?tag=newsLeadStoriesArea.1)
