"Google Retires Cached Site Links, Shifting Users to Wayback Machine"
Google has discontinued offering links to cached versions of web pages alongside search results, citing improved page loading reliability as the reason for retiring the feature. Google's Danny Sullivan expressed hope of adding links to the Internet Archive within search results to allow users to easily see how a page changed over time, but noted that it's just a personal idea for now. The Internet Archive, which doesn't list Google as a donor, recently criticized Google's decision, pointing out that Google still caches content but has stopped making the cache available. Sullivan also mentioned that users with a Search Console account can use URL Inspector to see what Google's crawler saw looking at their own page.
