Google Text Cache

Google cache is an awesome way to analyze the page. With it you can see:

  • If the page elements are correctly ordered;
  • How effectively you use H-headings (H1 - H2 tags);
  • How images are interpreted;
  • If links are visible;
  • Unlinked content versus linked content proportion, etc

You can access the google text cache is several ways:

  • Use this url and substitute your domain for www.domain.com -
    http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:http://www.domain.com/&hl=en&lr=&strip=1
  • Search in Google for the url and when you find the listing - click on the "cached" link and then click on the "Text-Only version"
  • Drop this into any browser address field for any page - it will do the rest.  This is effectively a bookmarklet. 
    javascript:location.href='http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:'+window.location.href+'&strip=1';
