Google Search may be having issues with indexing or serving this morning. I am seeing tons of reports from SEOs on X that Google is having indexing issues, tons. So I am posting this story to see if I can see firsthand if Google is indeed still having indexing issues.
Based on some of my tests, looking at recent content from the Wall Street Journal, the Washinton Post nad others, I am seeing that content indexed in Google Search.
For example, this story was published less than 45 minutes ago and I see it ranking Google Search:
Same with this story from The Washington Post:
But like I said, I am seeing tons of complaints on Twitter this morning. Maybe Google fixed it, but I do not see any confirmation from Google on this topic yet.
It seems like most of the complaints are coming out of India this morning. I am not sure if it is an issue only impacting that region or if they are just awake before everyone else and noticing the issue first?
Here are some of those complaints:

Hello, I think there is a problem with indexing. News in Turkey has not been indexed for the last 2 hours? Can you check?
For example, when you type news, the news from 10-20 hours ago is displayed. pic.twitter.com/SwWP2vM1Mh

Could there be a worldwide indexing problem? For example, the Guardian’s latest news is displayed 6, 7, 8 hours ago. pic.twitter.com/hYLcAxaBxs

Same situation in the news in Turkey
— Kanal 46 (@kanal46_) December 21, 2023
There are currently no comments from Google on this potential issue and nothing on the Google Search Status dashboard.
I will update this story as I track to see this story being crawled, indexed and ranked and if any comments come out from an official Google representative.
Stay tuned.
