I launched a new website ~2 weeks ago that seems to be indexed but not cached.

According to Google Webmaster most of the pages are indexed and I see them appear when I search site:www.xxx.com.

However, when I type into the URL - cache:www.xxx.com I get a 404 error page from Google.
I've checked more established websites and they are cached so I know I am checking correctly here...

Why would my site be indexed but not in the cache?

Check your source code for a no archive tag

what to look for

http://searchengineland.com/google-explains-the-noindex-nofollow-noarchive-nosnippet-meta-tags-10595

Use

https://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader

to look for a bad tag

check your robots.txt file using

Then use

http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/free-optimization/

to check for any other thing blocking it

REMEMBER your site is new google might not have archived your site yet

Hope this helps,

Thomas

Site's meta description is not being shown in Google Search results. Instead our privacy policy is getting indexed.

We re-launched our new site and put in the re-directs. Our site is https://www.fico.com/en. When I search for "fico" in Google. I see the privacy policy getting indexed as meta descriptions instead of our actual meta description. I have edited the meta description, requested Google to re-index our site. Not sure what to do next? Thanks for your advise.

Search Console Indexed Page Count vs Site:Search Operator page count

We launched a new site and Google Search Console is showing 39 pages have been indexed. When I perform a Site:myurl.com search I see over 100 pages that appear to be indexed. Which is correct and why is there a discrepancy? Also, Search Console Page Index count started at 39 pages on 5/21 and has not increased even though we have hundreds of pages to index. But I do see more results each week from Site:psglearning.com My site is https://wwww.psglearning.com

Instant Indexing

I've been working on a site for a while now, methodically building content and building trust and authority. Lately I've noticed that anything I publish there appears to be instantly indexed by Google, which surprises me. I haven't had this happen before so I'm curious. I'd be interested to hear the experience of others.
