Is Google down right now?
Live status check for Google (google.com) - updated every time you load this page.
Is Google down for everyone or just me?
This page checks Google (google.com) directly from our servers, separate from your own network, ISP, and device. If the status above shows "Down", Google is experiencing a real outage or server problem and it isn't something wrong with your connection. If it shows "Up" but Google still won't load, isn't working, or feels broken for you specifically, the issue is more likely local - your wifi, DNS, a VPN, a browser extension, or a firewall between you and Google's servers.
People search "is google down", "google down detector", "google not working", "google server status", and "google outage" whenever google.com suddenly stops responding. This checker answers that question with a live request, not user reports or social media chatter, so you get a direct answer on whether Google is actually down right now.
Want to know the moment Google - or any site you rely on - goes down, instead of checking manually? Kawze lets you set up an uptime monitor with a custom check interval as fast as 10 seconds, and sends instant email or SMS alerts the second a monitor detects downtime. Unlike this one-off check, a Kawze monitor watches your chosen URL continuously and notifies your whole team automatically - no per-seat charges, on every plan including the free tier.
Frequently asked questions
Is Google down right now?
Check the live status widget above - it reflects a check made from our servers moments ago. Refresh it for an up-to-date answer at any time.
Why is Google not working for me but this page says it's up?
An "Up" result means our servers received a normal response from google.com. If Google still isn't working for you, try clearing your browser cache, restarting your router, checking a different network, or waiting a few minutes - the problem is more likely local to your device or ISP than a Google-wide outage.
How do I get alerted if Google goes down again?
This page is a one-off check, not a monitor. To get automatic email or SMS alerts the moment Google (or any site you depend on) goes down, set up a free Kawze monitor - it checks on a schedule you choose and notifies you the instant it detects downtime.
