I just noticed something quirky.

When my homepage shows up in Google, it’s not cached. Every other page on this blog is cached, but not the homepage for some reason. There are no meta tags blocking it, and the robots.txt file doesn’t have anything unusual. I’m not sure if it was cached at some point in the past, but I’d assume so. What could have changed? Doesn’t Google cache all the pages it indexes (without overriding instructions)?

Can any SEO buffs out there help me shine some light on this? Thanks.

    Okay, it seems to have updated and is now cached.

    I’m guessing it was in the process of updating the cache when I posted this.

    I’ve recently had this happen to one of our major e-commerce sites as well. Unfortunately, it has remained uncached for several weeks. Being an e-commerce website, we do not rely on our homepage to be indexed but rather our individual category and product pages. So, it’s no big harm…

    Jough, and it just fixed itself, like mine?

    The problem could be to your benefit. Thar depends on how often Google refreshes the caches. If they refresh it once a month, for example, then I don’t think you would want to want to have a page that old being served to people.

    I just noticed the same thing for my homepage. First time I’ve seen this happen. So I found this page while searching for answers to the problem. I guess I’ll just wait it out.

    Can someone tell why this newspaper homepage http://www.suntimes.com/index.html not in the G cache?

    its very simple that site has the following in the head tags:

    meaning its not allowing any robots to archive that page.
