    It's mostly for ie users. In generally, you can leave it as default unless you have cache issues.

    a header is part of the http protocol.

    header has a ton of options: PHP: header - Manual

    this one refers to adding a
    header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
    style header to the code, so that a browser ALWAYS thinks it's been modified since it last loaded the page, thus not using the browsers own cache.

    it's slower for the user
    it's costs bandwidth for you

    There's no good reason to use it unless you have caching issues (changed styles, etc)

    You most likely are not. 99.9% of the time, you can leave this disabled. It's more designed for IIS/ie than anything.
