Magento currently uses Google Image Charts to render static charts in Magento 1.x Admin dashboards. As of March 14, 2019, Google will stop supporting Google Image Charts. To resolve this issue, we are providing a patch to replace Google Image Charts with Image-Charts free service.
Users of Magento 1.x deployments will not be able to view static charts in M1x instances unless they download and apply this patch. Displayed charts have the same design and functionality of Google Image Charts through the Image-Charts free account service with a GDPR compliance privacy policy. For additional options, please see Image-Charts.
The patch is available from the downloads page of your Magento web account. See the instructions below in How to update for details.
For additional details, see our support KB Switch from deprecated Google Image Charts to Image-Charts for Magento1.
