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.”

    I haven’t seen that available for literally years. I thought they killed it long ago.

    Google sucks.

        Maybe I was one of the test subjects then because it wasn’t there at all, menu or otherwise. 🤷
