How could I read the content of error pages online?

Have you ever been in a situation where you click on a page among your Google search results but can’t read the content? It clearly shows the content related to your keywords, but the browser said, “Can’t reach this page.” Frustrated, isn’t it? Haha, I’ve just discovered this trick!

Short answer: Try adding “cache:” in front of the web URL, then click enter.

The before and after would be something like this:

Longer answer: It seems like everything that appears on a search engine will have its “cached version”, so you can still access its content by reading the archived version saved by the search engine you’re using. For this reason, be careful about what you decide to share online ;)
