The saved copy shows the version of a page Yandex last indexed, with the date. It is the fastest way to see what the engine currently believes about a URL.
What it answers
- Whether a recent change has been picked up yet.
- What content the robot actually received, versus what the browser renders.
- When the page was last crawled.
Diagnostic use
If the saved copy lacks content the browser shows, the problem is rendering or blocking, not ranking.

How we apply this
This is our quickest check for JavaScript sites. Comparing the saved copy against the live page usually settles in seconds whether the crawler can see the content at all.
