Google Web Cache

To view a web page’s cache on Google, use the cache: operator. On the cache image, you can view the date the page was last cached, the full version of the page, the text-only version, and the cached resource.

How to View Google Cache Image of Page?

By adding the cache: operator to the beginning of the page’s URL, the Google cache image is reached. If a change has been made to the page after the date the cache image was taken, this change will not be reflected in the cache image taken before the change.

How Often Does Google Cache Pages?

The frequency with which Google crawls and caches pages may vary depending on domain authority and page authority. If the authority of the page is high, Google may visit the page more often and update its cached image.

If a change has been made on the page, for example, if the content on the page has been updated or an additional field has been created, Google may not see this change immediately depending on the crawl frequency, and this may take time. This is where the crawl budget and crawl depth issues come into play.

Every Page May Not Be Cached

Google may not have cached every page, or if the page has just been added, the page may need some time to be cached.

If a page is not cached by Google, when it is examined with the cache: operator, the following page is encountered.
