Google is not caching my website

[alex21]

I have a website <snip>. The problem is Google is not caching this website for a long time. Pages are indexed but not cached. Blog section is cached but not a single page of website.

Looking for solutions.


Regards

It makes some sense to cache a blog, as entries typically don’t change once they’re posted.

<tangent>
I’ve long wished there were a meta that conveyed the information “the content of this page will not change in the foreseeable future”. Search engines could send in the occasional HEAD request to confirm it’s still there, but they’d only need to crawl every year or so.

Hello alex21 and welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

To understand the problem you wish to correct we need some help from you so we can understand the what and why of the problem. Are the pages of your site static pages of evergreen content or are they frequently updated and changing? Is there a reason you would need them cached by Google, some benefit to having the site pages cached? What have you done to ensure that the blog pages are cached? What have you done to indicate that the rest of your site should be cached? Do your blog posts and pages interlink with related content on your website?

welcome to WebmasterWorld, alex21!

i would look to see if you are giving googlebot "noarchive" signals.

look for something like the following in your HTML document:

<meta name="robots" content="noarchive" />

or:

<meta name="googlebot" content="noarchive" />

if that fails, check all the HTTP Response headers and look for something like the following:

X-Robots-Tag: noarchive

or:

X-Robots-Tag: googlebot: noarchive

Hi All, thanks for your responses.

There is no "noarchieve meta tag". I have checked in source code.

Website pages are static.

As far as I know, to reflect the changes in the website, Google should cache the website.

Say what now?

are you saying Google has never cached the content on those URLs or are you saying Google hasn't cached subsequent updates to those URLs' content?
