Why is everything double when i look at googles cached version of this link, and why is there no images?

it also applies to the rest of the site

    The doubled text there is because we show the image title/caption in the gallery, and the image also gets that title/caption embedded in it's ALT tag. So, you are seeing the image title/caption, and then the image's alt tag (in place of the image). I'm not exactly sure why Google's cache isn't showing images for that particular gallery. I checked a few other links to your site in Google's cache, and it seems to show some images normally. It may be that you changed something on your site (deleted photos, moved photos, change a gallery's URL, etc) since the last time Google crawled the gallery, which means their cached version of your site is no longer up to date.

    Ok tanks, i try to understand. But this is not a gallery, it´s a folder. And the breadcrumb is also double. I have looked at other smugmug sites and havent seen cached version like this...

    What Josh says should apply to a folder the same way. In regards to the breadcrumb, Google likely has an older version of the folder cached where you had some setting in place that resulted in that double breadcrumb. That should go away eventually when Google updates its cache at some point.

    Googlebot doesn't support JavaScript, so when Google fetches your website, SmugMug serves up a special version of the page that renders your content blocks as plain old HTML, but still includes the original version which requires JavaScript to view. If you view the Google cached version of the page, you're seeing the special HTML version of the content blocks that was created for Google, and because your browser supports JavaScript, you're seeing the JavaScript version too. So you see two breadcrumb bars, but Google correctly only sees one.

    You can see the Google cached version as Google saw it by turning off JavaScript in your browser.

    Ahh great, there is an explanation of everything. I also examined other smug sites and can see same thing going on there.
