I was taught to cite websites by using the date the page was updated. Now I'm lucky if web pages even have a date on them.

Either that, or the page says that it's been updated in the last month, but the content is about how to connect to the World Wide Web '(WWW)' with a free AOL floppy disc

Oh, wait. All the pages are dynamically generated,.so both of those are dated now. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ
