Google short on capacity?
Cracks are beginning to emerge on Google’s myth of unlimited processing capacity.
Some highlights including my recent experience:
- Search query containing lots of “inurls” and other modifiers returned an 403 error and suggested that my computer has been taken over (I don’t think it has)
- Blog search returned an error as well
- Sitemaps verification didn’t work due to “server is busy” issue, try again later
- Google Analytics is closed for new users due to capacity issues, as everyone knows.
I hope it’s only me. Otherwise it would be a pity - after all infrastructure strength used to be considered as one of Google’s key competitive advantages.
