Google Cached Pages: How To View Tips and Tricks

What is a Cached Link or a Web Page?

A cached link or a page is a temporarily stored HTML web documents and data such as images, pages, and content in order to lower the bandwidth usage and the server's loading time to fetch the requested web page. The web cache system saves millions of copies of documents that passes through it on a daily basis. Once a user requests a particular page, which would normally be previously stored in the cache, it would be loaded way much faster that the first time. A cache system can be either a server such as Google cache system or a computer program.

When we surf the web, our browsers usually save a copy of those visited web pages in a cache system in order to speed up the process of retrieving data, from the browser's cache where it was stored, rather than fetching it from its original source.

What do Google Cached Pages Mean?

Running a search on Google would often come up with “Cached” pages. Google cached pages are page snapshots taken by Google and saved when the bots actually last crawled a particular web page and indexed it. Users are informed that they are seeing a cached page snapshot followed by the day it was captured.

How Do I Check Cached Pages on Google?

Google cached pages can be easily reached by clicking on that green arrow, as shown in the screenshot below, next to the page URL. Once you click on “Cached,”  you will be redirected to a different version of a page which Google usually saves it as a back-up when it visited the site and crawled its content the last time.
