How the Web Cache Viewer Works

The Web Cache Viewer is a production-ready tool for archiving and reading web content with high fidelity and full privacy. It replicates the core functionality of Google's cache — without the dependency on a third party to keep it alive.

CORS Proxy Bypassing

The tool routes requests through a curated set of high-performance CORS proxies — including AllOrigins and CORSProxy.io — to reliably fetch content across origins, bypassing the browser security restrictions that make direct client-side scraping impractical.

Smart Content Extraction

A DOM-traversal algorithm targets semantic containers (<article>, <main>, and equivalent structures) to isolate the primary content of any page. Ads, trackers, and sticky UI elements are stripped at parse time, leaving clean, readable output.

Local-First Storage

Cached pages are persisted entirely in localStorage — no data is transmitted to external servers. Your reading list lives on your device and remains accessible offline.

Pro Tip: A Smart Fallback system is built in. If one proxy fails to reach a target URL, the tool automatically cycles through the remaining proxies to find a working connection.
