Google SERPs do not display "cached"
-
When I am signed in with Google and searching sites, the snippets do not display the "cached" link.
Not good since I am trying to see when a particular page was crawled.
If I login to another server that I never use to browse and search from there the "cache" link does show up.
Assumption: google knows who I am on my machine and is "helping" me.......but is there an easy way to turn this help off?

Best thing to do is empty your cache and delete all cookies and site data. Also you can set up private browsing in most platforms. You can go to google and go to web history and have it all removed and set it up as private browsing.
Safari also has a private browsing mode. Just click on Safari in the upper left hand corner and click Private Browsing.
Chrome you can do the same
Firefox also.

You can also use Webmaster Tools to see when your site was last crawled by Google.

Not a direct answer, but an extension for Firefox that I love called Resurrect Pages (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/resurrect-pages/) lets you click on a link, or right click on a page, and get the Google cache, look up the page on the Internet Archive, and go to a few other cache locations.
