Google cached pages are “snapshots”
Google takes when they visit a website.
This approach comes in handy when the
website you’re trying to visit is slow or
down. A cached page shows how a website
looks on a specific date and time. They’re
raw HTML copies compiled on a server. The
cached page will only update when Google
takes another snapshot. Find out how to
view Google cached pages and more!
What Is a Cached Page?
In the most basic explanation, Google
cached pages are raw HTML copies of a
website. It gets stored in a server where
users can retrieve it when they need it. Every
website
gets
cached,
indexed,
and
classified.
Google uses servers faster than most
website servers — making it easier for
users to view the page they searched.
Cached pages also help SEO professionals
discover indexation problems. Once a
website loads, Google will take a snapshot
of the content and indicate the actual date
and time it was taken.
Why Google Stores Cached Pages
Google strives to improve user experience
in all aspects. Caching pages allows
Google to provide any number of users
with a seamless experience. Millions of
users surf the internet every day. Although
most surfers go directly to the live website,
the remaining percentage get the cached
version.
Websites have different elements, and it
takes time for each of those elements to
load. Sometimes they fail to respond, don’t
load, or even change when users interact
with them. Google cached pages avoid
such problems. They are “pre-loaded” and
delivered to users because they are easier
to retrieve and display.
How to View Google Cached Pages?
There’s more than one way to view Google
cached pages. Most users will see a live
and updated version of your website.
Cached pages sometimes don’t show the
changes to your page because they are
only snapshots. It will take Google some
time to crawl your website and take
another snapshot. It is still helpful to see
the cached pages of your website that
Google has on their servers.
Click on the three vertical dots. On
the pop-up window, click on the
Cached button.
Type in cache at the beginning of
the URL. Google will display the
cached page of the website.
There are Chrome extensions you
can download aside from Google
Cache tools and Wayback Machine.
Here are some of the ways to view the
cached versions:
These are only a few ways to get
cached pages from Google.
How to Check if Google Has Cached Your
Website
Checking on your website’s Google cached
pages will tell you more than you know. It
will show if the cached page is updated
and other caching issues. If the cached
version is the same as your live website,
then there’s no need to do anything else.

If there is hacked content
You may wonder why Google is not caching
your pages. Google Search Console crawls
and renders website pages. If the cached
page is unavailable or a 404 page displays,
it means that Google hasn’t taken a
snapshot of your website. It shows you the
following:
Option 1: Request indexing on Google’s
Search Console. It will take around 48
hours to index your website pages.
Option 2: Send an updated XML Sitemap
for Google to recrawl your website.
Option 3: In Search, inspect your URL and
use Google tools. In most cases, changes
in CSS or JavaScript resources are the
problem. It could also mean that certain
pages on your website are too similar.
There are three things you can do to solve
your problem with cached pages, which
are:
How to Remove Old Cached Pages From
Google?
There are instances where time-sensitive
content will get displayed on cached
pages. This type of content includes pay-
per-click landing pages,
internal files,
advertisements, and other page content. If
you want Google to remove your current
cached pages, do the following:
Use a Google Cached Removal Tool:
Cached removal
tools delete
the
cached versions from search results
permanently.
Request Google for Cache Removal: If
you have already taken down your
website and no longer want users to
find it on Google, you must submit a
cache removal request. Upon approval,
Google will delete the snapshots from
their database.
Utilize Non-Archive Tags: When you
have non-archive tags on particular
pages on your website, it tells search
engines not to index and cache a
specific page.
Now that you know everything there is to
know about Google cached pages, you
now have a better understanding of how
the internet and websites work.
