<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>After applying the SEO Tools recipe, the site's <code>x-drupal-dynamic-cache</code> header becomes uncacheable.</p>
<p>The token <code>[date:html_year]</code> relies on the current date, which changes daily and annually. Since the value changes with time but is not tied to user-specific or request-specific cache contexts, Drupal cannot safely cache it without risking outdated output.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<p>Install Drupal CMS. Verify <code>x-drupal-dynamic-cache</code> is a HIT for non-logged in users.<br>
Login and apply the SEO Tools recipe.<br>
Verify <code>x-drupal-dynamic-cache</code> is UNCACHEABLE for non-logged in users.</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Replace the token with a hard coded year in the 3 metatags. Updated them in 2026.</p>
