Now that Google cache functionality is disappearing, how can you consult web archives?

Google recently removed a useful feature enabling users to access the archives of web pages referenced in its search results. But for anyone whose curiosity is prompting them to do a deep dive or who is simply nostalgic, there are online tools capable of taking them back into the vaults of the web's archives.

A very useful feature has disappeared from Google Search: the cache link formerly enabled users to access an earlier version – the one saved by the search engine – of pages appearing in the Search results. This could be useful in a number of situations, for instance, when a page was having trouble loading, when a site was temporarily inaccessible or offline or simply for reference, for instance after changing appearance.
