Search snippets and cached copies can preserve information after a live page changes. Comparing both versions helps explain why conflicting Mars Market addresses remain visible.
Identify the date of each copy
A cached result without a clear capture date is difficult to interpret. Record when the cached page was stored and when the live page was reviewed.
This prevents an older snapshot from being mistaken for a current status notice.
Compare the exact claim language
Look for changes in address role, verification status, timestamps and warnings. Small wording differences can show that a claim moved from active to pending or was corrected.
Do not rely only on the page title because titles often remain unchanged after the content is updated.
Account for partial caches
Search engines may cache snippets rather than full pages. Missing text does not prove it never existed, and a snippet can combine terms from different sections.
Use cached material as supporting context, not a complete record of the page.
Prefer the current canonical source
When a live page provides a clear canonical URL and a documented update history, it should generally take priority over an older copy.
Still preserve the older version when it explains a conflicting Mars Market link found elsewhere.
Publish a clear correction path
A status page should state when an old address was retired and link readers to current verification guidance without silently erasing history.
This helps search engines and users understand that the cached claim is outdated.
