Google Search – How to Open Cached Version of a URL

google-search

I have a URL http://raw.fotosite.pl/ which seems broken. I want to view its cached version if cached by Google/any other web caching site.

In Google advanced search is there any special keyword/search directive that I can use to find the cached version of this site.
Is there any other site which caches web pages and displays back dated versions of them.

Best Answer

The query cache:url will display Google’s cached version of a web page, instead of the current version of the page. For example, [ cache:www.eff.org ] will show Google’s cached version of the Electronic Frontier Foundation home page.

Note: Do not put a space between cache: and the URL (web address).

However, when I try the web site you referred, Google does not open any cached version. That must be because Google has not been caching that site. However, it brings a cached version if you use cache:www.fotosite.pl instead of cache:raw.fotosite.pl.

It had been gone in redesign few months before you asked this question and most probably you had enough time to assure yourself it won't return ever.

One mitigation would be adding those keywords from topic to search query text. The other could be limiting search down to particular publishing site with site:example.com/path stem, if you know that info in advance.

Google Search – Why Some Webpages Are Not Included in Cache

That page is not cached by Google because it includes the NOARCHIVE directive:

<meta name="robots" content="noodp,noydir,all,noarchive" />

That is, the webmasters of http://dailymail.co.uk are requesting Google to not store that page in its cache.

I doubt there are other public caches that include that page, because it will mean the cache ignores the NOCACHE directive.
