1. Find a search result page or website that’s leading to an error or error page.
2. From the results in search look at the address line of the site that’s usually green, there is a small arrow at the end of the line pointing down click it.
3. You should see the options Cached and similar. You want to choose cached.
4. A cached copy of the website Google has from the past or the last time they cached a copy of the page will be loaded.

I usually used cached website too to see the latest post, but I still dont know why Google load down the website.
Maybe it saves on space when the cached copy loads like that,its hard to complain though as if it was not for google you could not see website that’s down until it came back up again which can be hours or days depending on the issue they are having.
