      We redesigned our site (www.motivators.com) back in April. Ever since then, we can't view the cache. It loads as a blank, white page but the cache text is at the top saying:

      "This is Google's cache of http://www.motivators.com/. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on Jul 22, 2013 15:50:40 GMT. The current page could have changed in the meantime. Learn more. Tip: To quickly find your search term on this page, press Ctrl+F or ⌘-F (Mac) and use the find bar."

      Has anyone else ever seen this happen? Any ideas as to why it's happening? Could it be hurting us? Advice, tips, suggestions would be very much appreciated!

        The homepage takes more than 9 seconds to load, I can imagine that the crawler of Google hasn't taken the time create a snapshot of the page... I would try to speed up the website first... much better for user experience and also for rankings.

        Check this report: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130722_RJ_13WT/ and this one: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130722_3R_143F/

        Check this site about speed: http://www.strangeloopnetworks.com/web-performance-infographics/.

        Not sure if that is the solution, but I would start fixing the speed issue rather than worrying about the Google Cache Pages...

          Dallas you have an extremely slow loading website

          Page size

          2.7MB

          Load time

          9.99s

          Requests

          195

          I honestly rarely see a page that has almost 200 requests this is not a good thing especially considering you're not using a quality DNS company use DynECT or  if you think Dyn is a lot to spend uses DNS Made Easy

          I have never heard of your hosting company

          You are using http://www.webair.com/

          so I cannot tell you if it is good or bad I would move to a company that I trust however I know nothing of your hosting company so it could be good I just don't know it check out fire host they will have everything you need including DNS and content delivery networks but the real issue is your front end the code is extremely bad there's a lot of JavaScript getting in the way of everything I would recommend moving to media Temple and using their DV server with cloudflare's railgun it is free media Temple hosting accounts and I strongly advise you do not use their GS server it is garbage

          You have a google page speed of 82/100

          The page Promotional Products and Promotional ... got an overall PageSpeed Score of 82 (out of 100).Learn more

          https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights#url=www.motivators.com&mobile=false

          https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights#url=www.motivators.com&mobile=false&rule=____critical__path

          Because cloudflare's railgun rewrites your code for you this could help you immensely but you really need to hire a web developer and have your site code fixed to have the best possible outcome I can recommend firsthand using

          http://www.gregreindel.com/

          He can fix your site

          https://builtwith.com/mobile.aspx?http://www.motivators.com/

          http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/dCpDKu/www.motivators.com

          I would add a content delivery network Max CDN is a inexpensive and very easy to implement CDN along with being one of the few that offer support at such a inexpensive price.

          I hope this was of help,

          Thomas

            to give you a short answer a content delivery network will help with caching quite a bit.

            Implement max CDN your site will not be perfect, but you will not have to worry about a cache problem.

            However the problems with your site run much deeper than what you're questioning suggest is the issue.

            Honestly you need to clean up the code quite a bit.

            However using a CDN even cloud flare a free CDN would help your site dramatically.

            Sincerely,

            Thomas

                You are more than welcome mask it to solve your problem? Because it does not seem to me that the problem is with your cash it seems to me that the problem is with to many calls on the DNS and the site structure do you want to talk to me about this I can tell you I know quite a bit about site speed
