There are two ‘cache’ term that you might encounter in Google. The first one is the ‘cache’ link that you can find underneath the search result in Google. Check out the photo from Google Guide:

The other one is the one wherein you type in the ‘cache’ word in the google search bar to find out which copy of the page Google has in his storage bin, its latest cache of your site:

cache:www.domain.com

The resulting page shows something like this.. take from Tube-Master February 12, 2010.

It says here that the page has a cache date of February 11, 2010 which is a good thing since it’s just a day old.

By using the cache operator of Googel, you’ll know if the search engine is frequently indexing your website or if their robots and spiders are crawling your sites.

Another cool thing that the cache operator shows us is the Text Only Version link. Clicking this like will display the cache page without any style. What does it do? Well, it basically shows you how Googel sees your site. You can then know if you have a perfectly optimized website (onpage). By viewing the page naked, or bare boned, you can see if the h1 and h2 are set up properly or that if the page is read left to write.. you can see if the spider crawls the content first before the sidebar and adjust accordingly.

Hope the information helped someone!

cheers!

W3.org has a great tool to check for broken link in your website. I recommend it for everyone to use. But if you’re using self-hosted WordPress blogs, there is this plugin that does the same as w3′s tool but better. The plugin is called “Broken Link Checker” by Janis Elsts.

Here are the key features of that amazing plugin:

• Monitors links in your posts, pages, the blogroll, and custom fields (optional).
• Detects links that don’t work and missing images.
• Notifies you on the Dashboard if any are found.
• Also detects redirected links.
• Makes broken links display differently in posts (optional).
• Link checking intervals can be configured.New/modified posts are checked ASAP.
• You view broken links, redirects, and a complete list of links used on your site, in the Tools -> Broken Links tab.
• Searching and filtering links by URL, anchor text and so on is also possible.
• Each link can be edited or unlinked directly via the plugin’s page, without manually editing each post.

Here is a screen capture of the Broken Link Checker tool in action:

As you can see from the picture above,there are 290 broken links (which is currently displayed), 455 redirects and the total number of links.

From the “Source” column, you can easily ‘edit’, ‘delete’ or ‘view’ the blog post. That is, if you want to correct the URL of the broken link, you can simply click on ‘edit’ and that’s it. Or if you wish, you can also easily unlink broken link by clicking the ‘unlink’ in the URL column. That easy and that is a big convenience compared to the w3 tool which only displays the URL of the broken link.

You can download the plugin here or you can directly install it from Dashboard in the Plugin section by clicking ‘Install Plugin‘.

If you already installed and been using it, how’s your experience with it? Enjoy!
