View Content of The Page cannot be displayed websites

Deleted websites is probably not the right catchy phrase that I should use. What I mean is that it happens sometimes that you find a search result in Google or follow a link from another website only to find out that nothing is found. Sometimes the information that has been could be essential. Fortunately for us there is a way to display the contents for most “The Page cannot be displayed” websites.

Even if the contents of a website get deleted they are still accessible through caches which means that we will most likely be able to get everything we need. Most major Search Engines use caches and store information of their crawlers in there. The crawlers report the contents of a website to the Search Engine who stores it in its cache.

Google, Yahoo, Live and Ask all offer a cached version of websites in their search results. Clicking on a cached link will display the content that was last reported by the crawler to the search engine.

Ask: (Click on Cached)

Google: (Click on Cached)

Live: (Click on Cached Page)

Yahoo: (Click on Cached)

There is another method that I would like to point you at that could work. The Coral Content Distribution network uses its own cache to display websites that are busy, unresponsive or down. To access this you add .nyud.net to the hostname. For ghacks it would mean that you would open the url www.ghacks.net.nyud.net.

   There’s also the Wayback Machine at Archive.org although this is often less up to date… There’s a neat little Firefox addon to give you easy access to mirrored versions of links when you find a page is down – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2323
