How to find when a web page was last updated

Question

Is there a way to find out how much time has passed since a web page was changed?

For example, I have a page hosted at: www.mywebsitenotupdated.com

Answer 1

There is another way to find the page update which could be useful for some occasions (if works:).

If the page has been indexed by Google, or by Wayback Machine you can try to find out what date(s) was(were) saved by them (these methods do not work for any page, and have some limitations, which are extensively investigated in this webmasters.stackexchange question's answers. But in many cases they can help you to find out the page update date(s):

1. Google way: Go by link https://www.google.com.ua/search?q=site%3Awww.example.com&biw=1855&bih=916&source=lnt&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A1%2F1%2F2000%2Ccd_max%3A&tbm=
   • You can change text in search field by any page URL you want.
   • For example, the current stackoverflow question page search gives us as a result May 14, 2014 - which is the question creation date:
2. Wayback machine way: Go by link https://web.archive.org/web/*/www.example.com
   • for this stackoverflow page wayback machine gives us more results: Saved 6 times between June 7, 2014 and November 23, 2016., and you can view all saved copies for each date
