What is Google cache checker?
Google cache checker is a legacy tool that attempts to query Google's former cached-page service. Google has retired that feature, so this page cannot reliably retrieve a cached copy or establish when Google last stored a page. Use the explanation here before interpreting any result.
How to use this tool
If you submit a page URL, treat the response as a legacy lookup only. An error or a not-cached message does not establish that Google has removed the page from its search index. For a website you manage, inspect indexing through Google Search Console instead.
Understanding the results
The old implementation looks for a snapshot date in a response from the former cache endpoint. That mechanism is no longer a dependable way to assess indexing, crawling, or page freshness. Google documents the retirement in its Search Central documentation updates. Separate the question of whether a search engine indexes a URL from whether an archive service stores a historical copy.
Frequently asked questions
Does not cached mean not indexed?
No. The cached-page feature and the search index are different. A failed legacy cache request provides no reliable evidence about current indexing.
Can this recover an older version of my page?
Do not rely on it for recovery. Check your own backups or an available web archive, and verify the capture date before treating an archived page as evidence.
