How to see when Google crawled your site

Google Just in case you want to know when Google last indexed your blog, site, page; here’s a fairly quick and easy way to get that information. (I am sure there are many ways, but this works the fastest for me). Go to Google.com (or use your Browser Search Box if it is configured to use Google). In the search box type the name of your site (or an exact URL if that is what you are searching for). In the search results locate the entry which contains your exact URL (so if you are looking for your site, then look for the entry that contains your site URL and not that of any of the pages within your site).

Once you locate this result entry, then look for the “Cached” link at the bottom part of the result entry. Click “Cached” (this won’t work if your site is not cached with Google). When you click that, Google takes you to the stored version of your website that Google has. And at the top of this page Google mentions when it took this snapshot of your site. That is the date that Google last crawled your website. Here’s mine at the time of writing this article:
