Google Outage: Internet Traffic Plunges 40% The web giant is refusing to discuss why all its services from Google Search to Gmail to YouTube stopped working across the world. Saturday 17 August 2013 news.sky.com Worldwide internet traffic plunged by around 40% as Google services suffered a complete black-out, according to web analytics experts. The tech company said all of its services from Google Search to Gmail to YouTube to Google Drive went down for between one and five minutes last night. The reason for the outage is not yet known, and Google refused to provide any further information when contacted by Sky News Online. According to web analytics firm GoSquared, global internet traffic fell by around 40% during the black-out, reflecting Google's massive grip on the web. "That’s huge," said GoSquared developer Simon Tabor. "As internet users, our reliance on Google.com being up is huge. "It’s also of note that pageviews spiked shortly afterwards, as users managed to get to their destination." A message on the Google Apps Dashboard showed all of its services were hit. "We're aware of a problem with Gmail affecting a significant subset of users. The affected users are able to access Gmail, but are seeing error messages and/or other unexpected behaviour," it said. A later message said: "Between 15:51 and 15:52 PDT, 50% to 70% of requests to Google received errors; service was mostly restored one minute later, and entirely restored after four minutes."
