Google announced that it is finally retiring the 'cached' web page feature by terming it redundant now. The tech giant search liaison explained that the feature was originally designed with the aim of helping users access pages when their loading would be unreliable. Over the years, Google has improved significantly and now it stands tall as one of the best. Now, the loading speed has increased exponentially due to which Google has finally decided to retire the feature.
The said feature was used to allow users to see a webpage in Google as it saw the same, however, users often used this feature to check the legitimacy of the page. SEO managers on the other hand used to examine their sites for potential issues. People who were in the news industry used this feature to track content changes.
