Google Discover has been having issues for the past hour or so. Some are reporting that Discover won't load articles, some are reporting that Discover is loading but only after a long waiting period. It seems Google Discover is having stability issues this morning.
It has been slow, not responsive or not loading at all for me. Here is a GIF of me trying to get the Discover feed to load on Google.com on mobile on mobile Safari:
Valentin Pletzer first notified me of this on X about an hour ago and said, "Discover kaputt?" Then Damien Adell posted data on X saying, "Either this is an error, or the feed is a cache of a previous one. And via 1492.vision, we clearly see a significant drop since 10:00 AM GMT +2."
Damien also shared this outage chart with me for Discover in France:
Here is his screenshot:
This may impact traffic to publishers why Google is working on resolving the issues with Google Discover.
Forum discussion at X.
Update: At 7:40 am ET it seems mostly resolved.
