WP Last Modified Plugin

Show Last Modified date in your WordPress Posts and Pages.

People will know the freshness of that web document, and Web crawlers can also decide, whether there’s any need to save a new copy of that webpage to update their indexes, or not.

&lt;meta name="revised" content="Sunday, April 21, 2013, 2:59 am" /&gt;
