    Are you referring to ETags? Isn't a question of WP nor their Themes. Is a matter of your web server. Which web server do you use?

    If Apache:
    Add to your main site configuration (generally /etc/httpd/httpd.conf) this line:

    FileETag MTime Size

    More information about this: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#fileetag

    If web server is nginx:

    etag on;

    More information: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#etag

    If you are on Apache, adding the following to your site's .htaccess file will take care of the eTag issue:

    <FilesMatch "\.(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf)(\.gz)?$">
    ExpiresDefault A29030400
    Header unset ETag
    FileETag None
    </FilesMatch>

    If he has access to the httpd.conf is many times better to insert on it (config file) rather than in .htaccess file. Apache developers said 'ad nauseam' (and it's highly documented) that .htaccess file is a performance drag. For each access to the directory, the file is opened/parsed/executed putting a severe performance impact.

    Some bits of information regarding this:
