Google is down: you can do that
It is rare that Google is temporarily down or unavailable, but it is possible. We'll show you how to find out whether the fault is yours or Google's.
Google unreachable - you can do that
If you cannot reach Google with your browser on the PC and pops up an error message, for example, you should first rule out that the problem is with you:
- Check your LAN / WLAN connection and test whether you can reach other websites.
- In addition, you can also test whether the problem also occurs with the mobile Internet via your smartphone.
- If the problem persists on other devices, it's probably up to Google itself. In this case, there's not much you can do other than wait.
- If Google is just not available on one device, try restarting the corresponding program or testing another browser.
- Then you can still try to reset your browser, because faulty add-ons can also cause this behavior. We have prepared corresponding instructions for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
- If even then a connection to Google is not possible, in the worst case it is also possible that you have caught malware that redirects your request incorrectly. We will explain how to remove the hijacker again.
Who is Google down for?
- If you have excluded all options and Google is not available on various devices, you can also report the malfunction on the Allestault.de page.
- Based on the daily statistics, you will also notice whether you are alone with the problem or whether other users have connection problems.
Once Google works for you again, we'll show you how to find out what Google knows about you.
