All HTML pages and assets (CSS, Images, JavaScript) must send proper caching headers. For quick fix, if using Apache drop this .htaccess file in the directory: http://www.showslow.com/blog/drop-in-htaccess-is-now-on-github-go-fork-it/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any page in MDC for JavaScript
2. Look at headers for HTML, print.css, jquery ui JS, jquery ui css, all images

Actual Results:  
always 200 not 304 Not Modified

Expected Results:  
Should always be 304 Not Modified after first pull

Page speed is a component for Page Rank - Better Page Speed, better Page Rank. For more analysis (will post bugs for the major ones) see http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/download.html and http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/
