WP should update modified date only when you make major changes to the article. 
I think WP should ignore small changes, for example, correction of character, Replaceing
image,changing tag, etc.

Thanks for this great little plugin. I had an issue after migrating to a new SEO
plugin. I had a few hundred posts that needed a simple update to fix the issue. 
But as my blog shows an updated date, it would have wrecked the real recency of 
articles. It solved the problem! And also, now I can make any minor updates without
changing the modified date. Thanks again.

### 󠀁[Truly useful plugin for websites which use last modified dates](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/truly-useful-plugin-for-websites-which-use-last-modified-dates/)󠁿

 [Hitesh Bhasin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/marketing91/) June 26, 2020

May god bless the author of this plugin. This is a very very useful plugin for sites
which display Last modified date on the front end. repeatedly the one issue which
arises is that u make one small change and the date changes. This plugin helps us
do massive changes on site without tweaking the dates too much. Thanks again

I have been long wanting an option like that. Didn’t know it was available as a 
plugin. Thank you so much.
