Danny Sullivan from Google told me on Twitter that Google will share more details about the indexing issues, where Google was not able to index new content for about an 24-hour period. He said Google will post time frames and post notes about the impact in Google Search Console after Google does its internal assessment of the issue.

Danny said on Twitter, "Part of our procedures now with this type of situation is to share time frames and post notes about Search Console impact. But we'll do that after a full assessment is complete. Rough time frame is a few hours before our tweet; it wasn't site-specific."

This seemed to have been a wide-spread issue, not just impacting a number of sites but all sites trying to get new content into Google.

Here is the tweet:

Now, this started from my view around 3am ET Thursday, August 8th and ended around 3am ET Friday, August 9th.

So stay tuned on the specifics from Google...
