### 2026-04-14 19:29 UTC: identified
We're currently experiencing intermittent performance degradations primarily affecting our Google Search and Google Light Search APIs. We are working to restore consistent response times across APIs. In the meantime, users may intermittently notice elevated latency when using these APIs.

### 2026-05-06 15:24 UTC: monitoring
The performance has been more stable for the past few weeks. We'll continue monitoring.

### 2026-05-12 19:12 UTC: resolved
This issue appears to have been resolved, as performance remains stable.

From the builder: does your app depend on SerpApi? [Sazabi](https://www.sazabi.com/?utm_source=down-guide&utm_medium=markdown&utm_content=serpapi) detects problems in your own logs without hand-written monitors, and you can ask it in plain language which errors mention SerpApi.
