About Google
Google is the most used search engine in the world; google.com is its main address, and many countries also have local versions. Google's network also serves Gmail, Maps, YouTube and the services that other websites use for fonts, maps and sign-in. Because of that, a failure to reach google.com usually breaks much more than search. A full outage of Google is rare; when google.com does not open in one country, a local restriction or provider problem is the usual cause.

Frequently asked questions
Is Google down right now?
Not for most of the world. In our latest check on 14 November 2026, 17:32 UTC google.com opened from 87 of 88 countries. If it does not open for you, the cause is more likely local: your provider, your network or a restriction in your country. Run a new check to see the current result for your country.
Why does Google not open in my country?
When google.com works in other countries but not in yours, there are three usual reasons: a restriction ordered by authorities, filtering by your provider, or a network problem between your provider and Google. A different security certificate, a reset connection or a wrong address from DNS are typical signs of filtering; a timeout can be either filtering or a network fault.
How is google.com checked?
From measurement points in about 90 countries we look up the address of google.com with the local DNS and open a secure connection to it, checking that the site returns its own certificate. We do not load the page content, and we do not publish which networks the measurements came from.
