If a website is down, try the cache

If you are searching for something, and one of the results you click on goes to a page that no longer exists, go back to the search engine results and see if there is a "cached" next to the URL of the page you are visiting.

Google (and other search engines) store the text of the pages they visit on their own servers. This cached version is there as a back up (although it may be anything from a few days to a few weeks old, so the information may be out of date). If the page has been deleted, the graphics may not load, but you will get the text.

Not all web pages are cached, as some webmasters request the search engines don`t store a copy.
