The last changed time comes with the assumption that the web server provides accurate information   Dynamically generated pages will likely return the time the page was viewed   However  static pages are expected to reflect actual file modification time   This is propagated through the HTTP header Last-Modified   The Javascript trick by AZIRAR is clever and will display this value   Also  in Firefox going to Tools- Page Info will also display in the  Modified  field
