When Google spiders crawl a web page a snap shot of that page will be stored in cache. According to Google words "This "cached" version allows a webpage to be retrieved for your end users if the original page is ever unavailable (due to temporary failure of the page's web server)". The cached page will be exactly same as the appearance of the page when spiders last visit the page. To view the cached page follow the tag given below.
