Find the date a website was last modified

Finally – a real “today I learned” post on this blog!

Every now and then I find myself wondering when a website was last updated. Until now, I didn’t know if it was possible or not. It’s certainly not visible in the source code.

A quick Google search enlightened me – you can open the JavaScript console and type in document.lastModified.

There are a few other websites out there that reference a way to do this all through the address bar, but so far my attempts to reproduce that behavior have not worked.

Regardless, this is a neat little trick that I will most assuredly use again.
