See the cached versions of any page.
Google no longer shows cached pages, so this checker finds the copies the Wayback Machine and Common Crawl kept instead, with a link to each one. No account needed.
- Latest archived snapshot
- First capture date
- Up to 50 recent snapshots
- Latest Common Crawl check
- Live status code
What you get
Every cached copy of a page, in one check.
The check asks two public web archives about the page, then tests whether the live page still loads, and puts the dates that matter first.

Why it matters
An old copy of a page answers questions the live one cannot.
Google's cache used to show what its crawler last saw. The public archives still keep dated copies, which is often what you need when a page changes, breaks or disappears.
Changes
See what a page used to say
Compare today's page with a copy from before a redesign or rewrite, and find the version that ranked better.
Recovery
Get lost content back
When a page was deleted or a site went down, an archived copy is often the only place its text still exists.
Crawling
Know what crawlers found
Status codes on each snapshot show when a page started redirecting or returning errors, and Common Crawl shows whether a recent crawl reached it.
Who it's for
For anyone who needs a page's history.
01

How it works
From URL to cached copies in one check.
01
Enter a page URL
A homepage or any deeper page. Without a scheme, https is assumed.
02
We ask the archives
The Wayback Machine for its newest and oldest captures, Common Crawl for its latest monthly crawl, and the live page for its status code.
03
Open any snapshot
Each row links to the saved copy on the Wayback Machine, with the date it was captured and the status the page returned.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
No. Google removed the cached link from its search results in early 2024 and stopped supporting the cache: search operator in September 2024. This tool shows the copies kept by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and by Common Crawl instead.
No. These are copies saved by other crawlers, on their own schedules. They show what a page looked like on a given date, but they are not what Googlebot saw or what Google has indexed. To see how Google renders your own page today, use the URL Inspection tool in Google Search Console.
Enter the page's URL above. The checker lists the most recent snapshots the Wayback Machine holds, newest first, and each row links to the saved copy you can open in your browser.
Yes. You can run 10 checks a day without an account. Both archives are free public services, and the checker reads them directly.
Popular pages are captured many times a day, so a full history can run to thousands of copies. The checker lists the 50 most recent and gives you the date of the very first capture, which covers what most checks need.
The archives only save pages their crawlers find, and new or rarely linked pages are often missed. A page blocked by robots.txt or behind a login is usually not saved either. Check the homepage, then try again later.
Common Crawl is a nonprofit that crawls billions of pages every month or so and publishes the data for free. Many AI models are trained on it, so being in a recent crawl is one sign that AI systems can learn about your page.
Each snapshot records the status the page answered with when it was saved. 200 means the page loaded, 301 or 302 means it redirected elsewhere, and 404 means it was not found. Snapshots with server errors are left out.
Both archives are free services that sometimes slow down or go offline for maintenance. If one does not answer in time, the checker shows the rest of the results and marks that source unavailable. Try again in a few minutes.
