Google Search is losing its 'cached' web page feature
One of Google Search's oldest and best-known features, cache links (aka "cached"), are being retired.
One of Google Search's oldest and best-known features, cache links, are being retired. Best known by the "Cached" button, those are a snapshot of a web page the last time Google indexed it. However, according to Google, they're no longer required.
"It was meant for helping people access pages when way back, you often couldn’t depend on a page loading,” Google's Danny Sullivan wrote. “These days, things have greatly improved. So, it was decided to retire it."

It has barely existed for years anyway. Anyone can remove the Google caching from their website and most major websites and many small ones do.
Now I just have an archive.org extension to do the se thing basically.
Ya I'm just surprised to hear the feature still exists. I remember the option to view cached page disappearing from every search result I would try to use it on years ago.
