Was YOUR Google down? Search engine hit with more than one-hour outage that impacted users worldwide

Google was down for more than one hour on Wednesday. Users in the US, the UK, Australia, parts of Europe, South America and Asia reported problems with Search, the website and Google Drive. It is unclear how many users were impacted and what caused the glitch. DownDetector's outage map for the US highlighted that users had reported problems in New York City, San Francisco and parts of the Midwest. In the UK, Glasgow and Cambridge was also in the red - but America appeared to be feeling more of the outage than other nations. Americans reported that they were seeing a server error when attempting to connect to Chrome, which is also lagging for some users.
