Google has officially confirmed that the August 2025 spam update is finished rolling. The rollout is done as of September 22, after running for just under 27 days.

Google removed the num=100 parameter - the setting that allowed users to display 100 search results on a single page – causing significant disruption in the world of SEO.

It’s more than summaries or AI Overviews - it’s a glimpse of the future of AI-powered search.
