    Testing my site with varvy SEO tool I see it complains about If-Modified-Since HTTP header.

    After reading about it I see it is a header use by e.g. Google to tell them, hey you don’t need to scan it again.

    I saw how to add the header to WP, but this functionality is suppose to be in a plugin and not on the theme.

    Since Autoptimize already knows when was the last modification (and cache) it might be easy/easier to implement.

    Thank you,
    Mikel

    hey @mikeldev;

    Since Autoptimize already knows when was the last modification (and cache) it might be easy/easier to implement.

    Afraid AO would only know the creation date of the autoptimized CSS/ JS-files. The logic place where If-Modified-Since could be added would rather be on a page cache plugin level (and I suppose some do come with that flag)?

    hope this clarifies,
    frank

    Oh yes,

    I wanted to ask this in comet cache plugin but I don’t know how I did here.
    I just confused for a second the plugins.
    Apologies!
