HTTP Headers

[BradBorst]

I ran an independant SEO test that recommended I do the following:

Missing Header: Cache-Control header missing, should be presentMissing Header: Content-Length header missing, should be presentMissing Header: Content-Encoding - why don't you try using gzip or deflate?Missing Header: Expires header missing, should be presentMissing Header: Last-Modified header missing, should be presentIs any of this necessary?

Nope, not really.

What was the test?

Some of those headers might help you serve your page faster.  They might  save you and your users some bandwidth.

I guess if you think that page load time is super important (most say it's a small factor) then you could argue those are important for SEO but genrally speaking Marcus is right.
