Last-modified signal

SEOWeight 1.5% (This check's share of the SEO score)Score 0

What this is

Whether the site tells search engines when pages were last updated, either as lastmod entries in the sitemap or a Last-Modified value in the server response.

Why it matters

With update times, Google can tell which pages changed recently and are worth revisiting, so new content shows up in search sooner.

What counts as passing

Passes when the sitemap has at least 1 lastmod or the server sends Last-Modified; fails when neither is present; not scored when neither the sitemap nor the server response details are available.

Suggestion

Pro plan only

Expose a last-modified signal

Provide a <lastmod> in sitemap entries or set the Last-Modified response header so crawlers can detect updates.
