Why it matters
Search engines and AIs prefer sources that show they are up to date, especially on topics that change over time. The update date in structured data (dateModified) and in the sitemap (lastmod) is how a crawler knows that without guessing. The most recent date counts; past 12 months the site looks abandoned.
