Can't find Text-Only Cached version in Google search

[JuiceBoxOM]

Hi,

I'm trying to view the text-only of a webpage to run a SEO audit, however Google does not give me this option. When i click the two arrows that appear to the right of a search result, the only option I get is Cached.

Is there a reason this might be happening? I've tried clearing my cookies, signing out of Google, and anything else I could find on my troll of the internet.

I also tried text, only please! however whether this works or not is debatable considering it shows me actual pictures on the site.

Any ideas, or maybe another add-on that will work?

I'd suggest using Google Webmaster Tools, and run the "fetch as googlebot" report. This will give you an idea of what Google may be seeing of your content.

I've seen the text only version absent for pages which are too new, or page that Google has had trouble crawling.

Exact phrase matches (using quotes around a query) is another way to get an idea of what text Google is finding from a page.

Thanks Owen, the Webmaster tool is good but I would like to see the page as it is rather than sifting through code. As you mentioned, I think the issue is with how new the page is. This site was redesigned about a month ago.

There are a few other tools out there that can simulate the cache view... such as <cite>www.seo-browser.com/.</cite>
