An unknown Google ad server glitch caused major websites, including those of the BBC, CNBC and the Financial Times to load slowly, prompting some to temporarily remove ads from their sites Wednesday morning.

Google acknowledged the issue to CNBC, stating "Our engineers are already on this, and will be providing an update ASAP." Google representatives could not be reached for further comment. At around 10:35 a.m. ET, some on Twitter were reporting that the problem was fixed:

phew! #dfp is back online .. only down for an hour and 25 mins .. how many millions did that cost Google?
