Google indexing issues are resolved. Google just confirmed that yesterday’s indexing issues have been fully resolved.

Google indexing issues are resolved
The Google stopped displaying new content in its search outcomes in the early morning hours yesterday. If you filtered the news or web search results from sites that frequently published content, it would only show you content on August 8th, around 3 am ET. This was comparable to last May’s indexing problems.

If you saw a dip yesterday in your Google traffic, and a lot of your traffic usually comes from new content, you may have seen a drop in your Google News, Google Discover and other traffic sources from Google. Performance reports from your Google Search Console may also reflect the indexing issue.

The issue appeared to be around 3:00 a.m. ET from 8 August to about 3:00 a.m. ET on the 9th of August. But again, on the specifics of the issue, we are waiting for an official response from Google.
Excellent Work
