How do I see Google cache date?

Google Cache checker is a tool to view cached pages and to find out the exact date and time your web page was cached. Google's cache is a snapshot of the page. Google takes a snapshot of each web page and stores (caches) that snapshot as a back-up. Enter URL to find when was the last time your web page was cached.


Use the URL

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:<your url without "http://">

Example:

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:stackoverflow.com

It contains a header like this:

This is Google's cache of https://stackoverflow.com/. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on 21 Aug 2012 11:33:38 GMT. The current page could have changed in the meantime. Learn more
Tip: To quickly find your search term on this page, press Ctrl+F or +F (Mac) and use the find bar.


You'll need to scrape the resulting page, but you can view the most recent cache page using this URL:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:www.something.com/path

Google information is put in the first div in the body tag.


you can Use CachedPages website

Cached pages are usually saved and stored by large companies with powerful web servers. Since such servers are usually very fast, a cached page can often be accessed faster than the live page itself:

  • Google usually keeps a recent copy of the page (1 to 15 days old).
  • Coral also keeps a recent copy, although it's usually not as recent as Google.
  • Through Archive.org, you can access several copies of a web page saved throughout the years.

its too simple, you can just type "cache:" before the URL of the page. for example if you want to check the last webcache of this page simply type on URL bar cache:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4560400/how-can-i-get-the-google-cache-age-of-any-url-or-web-page

this will show you the last webcache of the page.see here:

But remember, the caching of a webpage will only show if the page is already indexed on search engine(Google). for this you need to check the meta robot tag of that page.
