    In your case, the page is live, but is not cached on Google.

    Login to Google Webmaster Tools and do a fetch as Google. The page should return a status 200 if they're working.

    The Google cache shows pages with different content and images than you'd expect. If you see two separate pages with similar contents, Google has likely folded them together. The problem can be that Google doesn't understand the differences between the two pages and only keeps one of them. If you haven't made any changes to your page, the cache might be telling you otherwise.

    If you want to know why a page is showing up in the cached view, you'll have to check the URL of the page. Sometimes, the URL is incorrectly labeled. Adding https:// to the URL will fix this issue. If you can't find the page, you'll need to re-submit the site to fix the issue.

    It is possible that Google's cache has changed and now shows only the HTTP version of the page. It's unclear what caused this change, but it doesn't affect rankings. You can work around this problem by ensuring your site is correctly archived on Google's servers.

    Another problem that causes 404 errors is an incorrect rel=canonical tag. If the link doesn't point to the correct page, Google's cache will display the duplicate page. This can cause the site to appear in the cached view even though the URL is correct. You can fix the error by putting https:// to the URL. This will make it appear in the cached version of the website.

    The problem may be related to a 404-page-error-page affecting the permalink in Google's cache. In this case, the page may be missing a rel=canonical tag. If this is the case, you should update the URL in your URL. If it's still showing a 404-page error, you need to update your rel=canonical tags.

    If you're worried about the 404-page-error, you should contact Google Technical Support. The technical support team will be able to help you fix the error. There are also several solutions you can try. If you're unable to fix the error yourself, try contacting the search engine's customer service. Many resources will help you resolve this issue.

    The 404 error page is an internal Google cache issue. This error can affect your site's ranking in Google's SERPs. If your site is not serving cached pages, you need to fix the 404-page-error. If the 404-page-error is still present, you can fix the problem by adding a rel=canonical attribute to your website.

    When Google can't access your page for a long time, it will move it to the secondary index. This happens for a few reasons. If a page is inactive for a long time, Google can't access it. It will move the page to a secondary index and remove it entirely. This is common for newly-created websites, which have no citations and don't have much content.

    You can fix this error by fixing the problem with your site's rel=canonical attribute. This will stop Google from serving duplicate pages in its cached view. If you're not using the rel=canonical attribute, you will have to fix the problem with your website. If your website has a 404-page error, your site will be in the cached version of the page.

    You can also fix this problem by fixing your broken links. If the links lead to your site's homepage, make sure to remove them. This will help your site get more traffic and make your site more responsive. It will also improve your Google ranking. But if you've recently changed your URL structure, the 404-page error will persist. Your pages will be indexed, and your site will be penalized.
