Do you know the difference between Indexing and Caching?

[alexisrois]

Indexing is where search engine has crawled the web & ranks the URLs found using different criteria & places them in the database or index.
Caching is where copies of web pages stored locally on an Internet user's disk drive or within a search engine's database.

Cache means the snapshot of a web page captured and indexed by the Google and if you want to check it then just type cache://domain name. This will provide you the last cache of your page with date and time.

Index means if you search your site in Google by domain name and if it shows you even a single result which contains your site domain then you can think that Google have indexed your site and if you can't get even a single result then it means that your site not indexed yet.

Well, as per my knowledge caching is depends on indexing. first crawler index your website urls in their database, then cache the content of your web page. whenever you modify any content on the web page, crawler again cache that web page because that web page has been already been indexed.

I also agree with you opinion. It is quite right information.

Both work done by crawler and when crawler come first time in your site its also index your page in SERP and after it return your page again and again for giving the weightage for your site.

Cache means the snapshot of a web page captured and indexed by the Google and if you would like to check it then presently type cache://domain name. This will give you the last cache of your page with date and time.
Index means if you search your site in Google by domain name and if it demonstrates you still a single result which encloses your site domain then you can think that Google have indexed your site and if you can't get even a single result then it means that your site not indexed yet.

Crawling : It is the process when bot reads your web page
Indexing : It is the process of adding your webpage in to the search engines database

Yes Indexing gathers, parses, and stores information to encourage quick and exact data recovery. A substitute name for the procedure with regards to web indexes is Web ordering.
whereas Caching is the way toward putting away information in a cache.A reserve is a brief stockpiling range.
