After a little bit of work, prompted by koobs, I’ve made the following code changes.

Lines 8-10 added a time value to the top of the page. This was intended to let the user know when they last refreshed this page.
Lines 18-20 let me know how long it took to generate a given page.
Both are gone now. Why? It meant the page content changed ever time you loaded the page, despite the *ACTUAL* data has not changed. This led to REDbot giving warnings etc. So the page content would change but with an If-Modified-Since conditional request, a 304 would be returned (i.e. no change, use your cache).
Line 29 fixes a long standing bug. The code was looking at the wrong variable. As a result, 200 was always being returned, and ‘304 Not Modified’ was never returned.
