There's no need for specifics, but what exactly is the problem?

The site may have elected to 'nocache', thus only having current content available ... what's wrong with that for you?

Thanks for your reply;
but it doesn't have any tag and daily caching and date?

Being indexed for ranking purposes and showing a cache link are two separate processes.

Some sites decide not to allow Google to show a cached version of their page, and once in a while there is no cached version available for unknown reasons - maybe something buggy happened in the processing.

Simplest: are you saying that there was (1) a cache link which was broken or (2) just no cache link at all.

(1) is a bug at G
(2) the site owner chose not be be cached. There are good reasons to do that if it is important to make sure that people see the latest version of a fast changing page.

@piatkow ..... I can see the description implemented in " description" tag but no cache link and updated date daily... the worst thing about this practice.... I have tried all the things... i have checked the Source code too and didn't find no tag ... for "nocache" no index" no archieve" or anything .... why Google showing it differently for only some websites?

Could be automated, I have a 5 day weather page, no tags to tell google no cache or no index etc, just the usual title, desc and keywords and google visits it every day as it changes every day, google guesses well.

The tag is actually "NOARCHIVE" by the way.

I wasn't aware of G deciding to exclude pages on factors other than the tag.

agree.... I tried usage of this tag in source code but didn't find it anyway...
