Wordify - Notice history

This incident has been resolved. The affected UK sites have been back online since 12:17 UTC, following a power event at Google Cloud's London (europe-west2-b) zone that began at approximately 06:04 UTC. Services have remained stable since recovery. If you notice any ongoing issues with your site, please contact our support team. We apologise for the disruption.

Google Cloud has restored power and services in its London (europe-west2-b) zone, and the affected sites have been back online since approximately 12:17 UTC. We have checked the service and sites are loading normally. Some sites may be slightly slower than usual for a short time while caches warm up. We are continuing to monitor closely.

Google Cloud has confirmed the cause: a power event in its europe-west2-b (London) zone, where the affected server is located. Google reports the power issue is now mitigated and expects infrastructure services to begin recovering over the next 30 minutes, with remaining services restored after that. We will bring the affected sites back online as soon as Google's platform allows and will post another update once service is restored.

Some websites hosted in our UK (London) region remain unavailable. Google Cloud’s networking incident has expanded and now affects 14 regions across Europe. Google has confirmed high packet loss between virtual machines and has not yet given a workaround or an estimated time to resolve.

Until Google’s networking recovers, we can’t bring the affected sites back online. Your website files, databases and email are safe. Nothing has been lost.

Most Wordify sites, including many in the UK, are not affected and are running normally.

We’re monitoring continuously and will restore service the moment Google’s systems allow it.

Please find below the update from Google Cloud, this instance is now resolved - thank you for your paitence while it was resolved:

Multiple services may have experienced elevated I/O latency in the us-central1-b zone. Some services hosted in us-central1 and us multi-region were also affected.

The issue with multiple services has been resolved for all affected customers as of Monday, 2026-08-03 01:20 PDT.

Engineering mitigated customer impact by resolving the underlying infrastructure issue.

We thank you for your patience while we worked on resolving the issue.

Service has been restored. All affected sites are back online and serving normally.

The incident was caused by a Google Cloud Persistent Disk fault in one of the US region (Google Cloud incident CCWCSMV), which left one of our US front end services unable to restart. We rebuilt the server on healthy infrastructure and restored full service. All customer data and databases are intact.

We are monitoring performance closely as caches warm up. Google's underlying incident remains open, and we will continue to watch for any recurrence.

This incident stems from a Google Cloud Persistent Disk fault in our US region (Google Cloud incident CCWCSMV, ongoing since 05:40 UTC), which left one of our US servers unable to restart.

We have rebuilt the affected system on healthy infrastructure and confirmed all customer data and databases are fully intact. Web traffic is not yet restored while we complete the final network reconfiguration, and we expect recovery shortly.

Sites in the UK, AU and DE regions are unaffected. We will update again within 30 minutes.
