That doesn't make sense. The use of Last-Modified headers assists with
caching, so by not including them, you're effectively preventing caches
from storing your page at all. You'd save even more power if you let
caches store your page by sending a Last-Modified header. Maybe even
more so if you sent appropriately set Expires, Cache-Control and other
related headers so that they know how long they can store it without
checking for an updated copy.
About half way down the page, this occurs:
[an error occurred while processing this directive]
Looks like you've made an error with SSI.
Lastly, why don't you save even more bandwidth and stop sending all that
useless HTML markup :-). Why not just send text/plain?
