Google had previously announced that it will remove Google Cache completely from search results. At first, Google removed the cache link and then added the links to the Wayback Machine. Now Google has completely disabled Google Cache by disabling its direct link. If the users go directly to the Google cache by searching for it on the search bar, Google won't show anything in the results, such as this one.
Google Cache has completely stopped working in the past 12 hours. This has made people discuss it on different social media apps and forums. They are discussing how even though Google has completely disabled cache, new pages can still see it temporarily.
Google Liason, Danny Sullivan, said that it's a sad thing that Google cache isn't available but it is something that needed to be done. It was one of the oldest features of Google and people back then relied on Cache when they couldn't open a page because of page loading. Now things have improved a lot so there was no need for Google Cache. Sullivan added that he thinks that Google should add cache links to internet archives within About This Result. This would allow people to see how a page changed overtime.
If someone has a Search Console, they can see what the crawler saw looking at their own page by using URL inspector. The alternatives for Google Cache are Wayback machine, URL Inspection Tool and Google’s rich result testing tool.
