      I launched a new website ~2 weeks ago that seems to be indexed but not cached.

      According to Google Webmaster most of the pages are indexed and I see them appear when I search site:www.xxx.com.

      However, when I type into the URL - cache:www.xxx.com I get a 404 error page from Google.
      I've checked more established websites and they are cached so I know I am checking correctly here...

      Why would my site be indexed but not in the cache?

        Check your source code for a no archive tag

        what to look for

        http://searchengineland.com/google-explains-the-noindex-nofollow-noarchive-nosnippet-meta-tags-10595

        Use

        https://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader

        to look for a bad tag

        check your robots.txt file  using

        http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/robots-txt-generator/

        Then use

        http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/free-optimization/

        to check for any other thing blocking it

        REMEMBER your site is new google might not have archived your site yet

        Hope this helps,

        Thomas

        • Should you use robots.txt for pages within your site which do not have high quality content or are not contributing a great deal so when Google crawls your site the best performing content has a higher chance of being indexed?

        • My beta site (beta.website.com) has been inadvertently indexed. Its cached pages are taking traffic away from our real website (website.com). Should I just "NO INDEX" the entire beta site and if so, what's the best way to do this? Please advise.
