Google has commenced the redirection of country-specific domains (ccTLDs) to its main Google.com site, a shift first announced about a month prior. The initiative aims to eliminate the necessity of country-level domains to streamline the search experience. Reports of the redirection began surfacing on May 16, with users in certain areas, including those in Austria (Google.at) and Germany (Google.de), noticing the changes. Alexander AuÃermayr noted the occurrence on LinkedIn, suggesting a phased rollout, as not all users are experiencing the same immediate redirection. Discussions continue to emerge in forums as the process unfolds.
"country-level domains are no longer necessary. So we'll begin redirecting traffic from these ccTLDs to google.com to streamline people's experience on Search."
"OMG, Googles Domain-Migration hat begonnen. She shared this screenshot of Google.at being redirected to Google.com."
