Modified date

dateModified or Last-Modified shows the document was maintained.

Pass condition in our engine: dateModified in schema or a Last-Modified header is present.

1. Problem description

Engines discount obviously stale medical and pricing content. A Last-Modified header from the CDN that changes every hit is noisy; prefer an editorial dateModified you control.

2. Most common causes

  • Articles never updated after publish.
  • The CMS does not expose modified dates.

3. How to fix it

  1. Set dateModified when you meaningfully update the article.
  2. Optionally send an honest Last-Modified header.
