Minor October 30, 2026 /goto links 1d 15h Current status by service (API)
Started Oct 30, 2026, 01:20 AM UTC· resolved Oct 31, 2026, 04:50 PM UTC
- investigating Oct 30, 2026, 01:20 AM UTC
Google just made a change impacting our ability to resolve all returned /goto links. You'll see more results with unresolved /goto links. Latency is also currently higher because the links need to be resolved sequentially instead of concurrently. We're actively looking into it.

Google just made a change impacting our ability to resolve all returned /goto links. You’ll see more results with unresolved /goto links, and latency is currently higher. We’re actively looking into it.
- investigating Oct 30, 2026, 03:08 AM UTC
Since 1.5 hours ago, Google limits how many /goto result links can be followed per results page right after it’s served. We now resolve the top 3 organic links, which adds some latency for now; the rest come back as google.com/goto links. Those still work in a browser and resolve fine after ~30 s. If you prefer max speed, pass resolveLinks: false and we skip resolving entirely. This affects anyone resolving Google’s /goto links. We’re still actively looking into it.
- resolved Oct 30, 2026, 09:43 AM UTC
Update: Google result links Google now limits how many result links can be opened shortly after a search. We resolve the top 3 results; results 4–10 come back as google.com/goto links, which work about 30 seconds after the search. To get their real URLs, use the new /resolve endpoint. How it works and examples (log in to view): https://serper.dev/google-links
- resolved Oct 31, 2026, 04:50 PM UTC
Update: We've found another way to get the real URLs, and since Oct 31 ~16:30 UTC all result links have real URLs again. This is likely temporary: if Google limits it too, the top 3 stay resolved automatically and /resolve gets the rest after about 30 seconds.
