Hello James,

Caching is a process in which search engine take the snapshot of website and store it in their database to examine the webpage and Indexing is process in which search engine make web page searchable in their results.

Glad to hear about Caching and indexing. To index your webpages you have to submit xml sitemap url in google webmaster tools.

Caching- Search Engines bots are visit website Sitemap or pages for index in Result pages. It is called "Cache".

Indexing- Websites are placed in Search Engine Result Pages(SERP) with particular ranking by search engines. It is called "Index".

i think it is most accurate answer.. Basically cache is like snapshot of your website

Caching - Search engine crawlers comes to website and take a snapshot (photo) of current web page that is called caching. Each web page has different cache version.

Indexing - When search engine crawlers take that web page in search engine database that is called indexing and search engines retrieve search results using these web pages.

In Caching search engine bots visit website Sitemap or pages for index in Result pages. In indexing websites are placed in SERPs with particular ranking by search engines.

Caching - Take a snapshot of your website to examine later
Indexing - Making keywords, web pages more searchable

Indexing refers to the process of storing and making the content searchable on search engine whereas Caching refers to the process of providing snapshot of the webpage stored locally in the database of search engine.

Simple: Cach is copy of your page and cach can't be without index first

Crawling means google has crawled your website at least one time and your site goes into their crawled database. Indexing means google has crawled your site and found it important sufficient to situate it in their indexed pages 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.

Indexing is important for SEO and Caching is not. Both are totally different.
