Want to view a cached website? With WebCache it takes 1 click to view the Google Cache, Wayback Machine, Archive.is, or Coral CDN!
This is a chrome browser extension that allows the user to view a cached version of the current webpage. Set your primary cache as Google Cache, Wayback Machine, Archive.is, or Coral CDN. If what you're looking for isn't found, it'll cycle through the other caches until it finds what you're looking for. There are three ways to use WebCache:
1. Click the extension button to view the cached version of the web page
2. Access the cached webpage through the right click menu (enable this setting in the options page)
3. Auto-detect when a webpage is down, and fetch the cached version (enable this setting in the options page)

- (2020-02-28) Sam Gibson: Google cache link doesn't work it just 404s. Wayback machine seems to work but have to use a different plugin to easily access google Cache from a right click.
- (2019-09-15) Chek Wei Tan: Very convenient! Save me some time to type "cache:" manually in front of url.
- (2019-01-09) cars x: Exactly what I needed. Makes viewing cached versions of websites way faster...Normally, I would have to go to the cache website to paste in the link but with this extension you just click and BOOM. It works perfectly.
- (2017-12-09) Alexander A: Keep it going, Danny! People need it!
- (2017-09-16) Vincent Hugot: Crashes on activation. Corrupted. Repair doesn't fix.
- (2017-08-18) Андрій Хома: Имея это расширение теперь не нужно бояться что какой-то сайт с полезной информацией ВДРУГ перестанет работать. Отличная весчь)
- (2017-03-19) Judith Straetemans: Love the new update!
- (2017-02-18) Yonder: wtf, why do people rate this badly, its bloody useful! Anyways, loved this addon, just wish there was more options to configure it
- (2016-07-14) Keith Murray: It does exactly what I expect it to do and takes only a couple of clicks to adjust options. Super helpful for scouring dead links/urls.
- (2016-06-01) Julian Mendiola: It takes me to google every time I click the icon... searching for "cache:thecachingpage".
- (2016-04-15) Mike Bilel: Almost perfect. Only complain is sometimes I want the Google cache and sometimes I need the wayback machine. I don't want to have to go into the settings every time I need to use a different cache. So a drop-down menu with "favourite caches" would be very nice!
- (2016-03-29) it works, as expected and simple
- (2015-11-12) Jerry Jiang: button do not work
- (2015-10-14) Sean Gaston: Doesn't work.
- (2015-09-16) Robert Claypool: Didn't do anything. Clicked on options which had a list of caches and a Detect down webpage selection the default of which is apparently off. Tried turning it on, still nothing happened.
- (2014-11-23) Matthew Roy: Seamlessly fixes the annoying problem of broken pages. It's easy to access my favorite sites even when they are down. I'd love for it to have an option to automatically take you to the most recent version of the page while it was live!
- (2014-11-17) Muhammed Riyas: Now its working fine. Nice tool to use
- (2014-10-13) Александр Мадисон: Работает,деньги капают
