Page Freshness Checker

Google killed the cache: operator, so there's no direct way to ask Google when it last crawled a page. This checks three independent signals instead: the last Wayback Machine snapshot, the server's own Last-Modified header, and the site's sitemap.xml.

None of these three signals actually measures Google. Wayback runs on its own crawl schedule that has nothing to do with Google's, the Last-Modified header only tells you when content changed, and the sitemap date is whatever the site claims. Treat the Wayback snapshot count as a rough read on how much attention a URL gets from crawlers in general, and use the Google search shortcut in the results for the one thing that actually confirms indexation. Your URL is fetched by a small script on my own server to read these public headers; nothing is stored, logged for marketing, or shared.
