00:00 Google removes cached website links from its search results.
00:04 A cached link lets you see a saved, older version of a webpage when the website you're
00:08 trying to access was down.
00:10 The feature also lets users check older versions of webpages to see whether a page has been
00:15 updated.
00:16 Search liaison Danny Sullivan says in a post on X, cached links were meant to help people
00:20 access pages when you couldn't depend on a page loading.
00:24 He adds, "They decided to retire it because, these days, things have greatly improved."
00:29 When Google's web crawler indexed and updated webpages, the system would also save copies
00:34 of what was being seen by the web crawler.
