What Is The Difference Between Indexing And Caching?

These are very complicated terms to understand but this is very important for all webmasters to understand the difference between “Google Cache” and “Google Indexing”.

Google Indexing :

Indexing And Caching
Indexing is a process to make a webpage searchable on search engine whereas the process of caching refers to providing a reprinting content snapshot.

Indexing is a process which makes your webpage searchable on search engines. Means your webpage is stored into the Google’s database according to priority of the content.

lf we uploaded a new website, then first of all search engine crawler will read the site and after that they will store all its contents in its Index Data Base in a different format (by giving priority to the h1, h2, or bold, title, meta tags and main content) They will not place content as it was published on the internet. As a result, the site will appear in search results for optimized keywords and all Google calculation performed on this basis like assigning Page Rank.

For example, if we uploaded a new website, then first of all search engine crawler will read the site and after that, it will store all its contents in its Index Data Base in a different format (by giving priority to the h1, h2, or bold, title, meta tags etc.), it will not place content as it was published. As a result, the site will appear in search results for optimized keywords.

Google also takes a snapshot of each page on a website and stores it in a different data base which is known as cache data base. If you click on the “Cached” link, you will see the web page as it looked when we indexed it. while, Google creates the index and the database of documents that it accesses when processing a query.

Google Cache :

The Google Cache refers to providing a reprinting content snapshot or it serve the snapshot of the particular webpage.

Google takes a snapshot of each page on a website and stores it in a different data base which is known as Cache Data Base. If someone clicks on the “Cached” link, they will see the web page as it looked when Google indexed it.
