The content is current.

The date shown is the date of last build. This can be the date when something changed in the page (content or layout), in the templates used to build that page (e.g. a change in the footer), or a force rebuild for any reason.

We probably change the string from "Last modified" to something else ("Last build" or other wording), but I don't think that it is useless and we should remove it (I'm open to listen to other opinions, though).

Kind regards
