Google Cache Archiving More of Your Page?

Nov 30, 2006 - 8:02 am 2 by

The Google cache typically only stored about 100KB of your page. So if you had a heavy page with lots of content, not all of that page would be seen in the Google cache. That seems to have changed at some point since I last checked, probably years ago.

Looking at the cache page of many sites, you can see Google is clearly downloading and archiving more than the first 100KB of that page.

A WebmasterWorld thread has reports where Google is caching 400KB+ pages.

I guess space is getting cheaper.
