Google Search Console Experiences Surge in "Hostload Exceeded" Errors

Google Search Console's URL Inspection Tool is experiencing a "failed: hostload exceeded" error, which Google attributes to spammers overloading the tool. While normal indexing is unaffected, users encountering this error are advised to wait it out and try again later. Google recommends relying on its regular crawling and indexing processes rather than manually submitting URLs. The Search Console team is investigating the issue and working to block spam attempts.
