Optimize Your Webpage Updates with If Modified Since
If Modified Since is a free WordPress plugin designed to enhance webpage efficiency by informing search engine spiders about updates. It signals whether a webpage has changed since the last visit, allowing spiders to decide whether to download the page again or not. This functionality helps in managing bandwidth and improving load times by avoiding unnecessary downloads of unchanged content. The plugin operates seamlessly by returning a 304 (not modified) response when the requested page has not been altered since a specified time.
This tool is particularly useful for webmasters who want to optimize their site's performance and ensure that search engines index the most current versions of their pages. Users can report any issues or suggest improvements to enhance the plugin further, fostering a collaborative approach to its development.
