Is Google Getting Congested?

Is Google by any chance getting congested? For the past 2 weeks i have been seeing extremely slow response from Google search and also all products under Google. Firstly i just thought that it was my internet connection until, i tried other websites which worked very fine. Only Google was very slow and always gave me time-outs.

Google Is Getting Slow

It was obvious that the slow response was from Google as the adsense on my website loaded slow, Youtube was abit slow, Gmail was extremely slow, PicasaWeb was slow and the search engine was slow as well. I had no problem with the speed of other websites, so it made me ask, why this slow response from google? Is it their servers are getting congested? Are they under some sort of DDOS attacks? Or issit some countries are throttling connection to the Google servers?

The slow response of Google is affecting my daily Internet life, especially when it comes to email checking. Some of my friends are also getting the same problem. Whatever the problem is or wherever the problem is i am just hoping that everything can be solved as soon as possible. I would be grateful if readers could leave a response on how Google speed is for you guys (especially Malaysians).

Hmm yea kinda slow .. i thought it was my super high speed broadband connection (Streamyx)

I’m a singaporean. I haven’t noticed any difference in speed over here…

Thansk wendy for the update. I guess it is just the StreamyX connection in Malaysia then. Why throttle google?

Any other Malaysians having the same problem? I always seem to need to check GMAIL via basic HTML, due to the slow response.

Gmail and blogspot have been extremely slow today in the Eastern US.

I had the same problem as you too!

It took me a few days to figure out what was the actual problem, until finally I concluded that it was the IP address 60.53.XX.XXX!

Whenever I get that IP address, all the Google services would load freaking slow, especially Gmail! In addition, my MSN Messenger won’t be singing in smoothly and there would be certain sites that would load slow.

The only solution for my problem would be DC and reconnecting back my Streamyx, hoping that a different IP would be assigned besides 60.53.XXXXXXX.

Cheers.

Hi Makkez,

I am using 218 and 219 IP address but the result is the same. Since Eastern US is also in … i think this might be global.. :(

In Australia, I’m experiencing extraordinary delays in accessing Google’s home page and have been for the past couple of days. I first thought it was something to do with my Firefox browser and some of the recently updated add-ons, but then I found the same problem when I used K-Melon and IE browsers. Once I get past the Google home page, the rest seems to run OK, although I don’t use gmail.

So it is confirmed, it is not my ISP. Thanks alot for the feedback guys. Now at least we know that the problem is not on our side. Hopefully google can fix this problem soon.

It might be Google.
Gmail is really crawling slow intermittently and I had to switch to HTML view. Picasa at times is slow loading up the album page…ARGH!!!
This is really not good for ppl that rely alot of Google services :(

Noticed that google connection has been stable for now. Guess they were doing something without notifying us.
