How can I view a web page that used to be there but isn’t anymore?

Don't you just hate those Four Oh Four errors? This page can not be displayed…

We wont judge you. Whether it be porn or work related. For good or evil…

The page used to be there. But where did it go? Who cares - We are going to show you how to bring it back!

After being overwhelmed with emails, from amazed readers, after we resurrected the website about the torrent tracker infiltration by a security company. Reader after reader sent us emails inquiring about this magic cache and how to access it.

See the black circle around the word cached? Yup that is your time machine. You will get a snapshot of the page the last time Google crawled it.

Hit this trick/feature up after take down notices or traffic prevents you from seeing what you want to see… Get rid of that a big 404.

Its not always 100 percent functional but it will get you the guts of the site.

How long before Google gets those take down notices for their cache?
