"Google Retires Cached Site Links, Directs Users to Wayback Machine and Internet Archive"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Search Engine Journal

Google has retired its "cached" link feature, which allowed users to access archived backups of websites, citing improved page loading and cost savings as reasons for the change. The responsibility for preserving old versions of webpages now falls more heavily on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, with Google potentially partnering with them to show historical versions of web pages in search results. Users can still access cached pages by using the URL Inspector tool in Google Search Console or by creating their own cache links using specific URL formats.

"Google Ends Cached Webpages in Search Results, Recommends Internet Archive"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Ars Technica

Google Search will no longer maintain cached versions of webpages, a feature that allowed users to access pages when they were down or had changed. The decision to retire this feature was made due to improvements in page loading reliability. While users can still create their own cached links, Google has removed the cached links from its search results and support pages. The move places a larger burden on the Internet Archive for archiving and tracking changes on webpages.
