Using ETag identifiers is an easy way to ensure your visitors are always getting the most up-to-date version of the content. This mechanism allows caches to be more efficient and saves bandwidth, as a Web server does not need to send a full response if the content has not changed. HTTP 304 responses are used to indicate this is working.

No ETag header was found in the response.

Cloudflare has documentation on how to enable Etag support.

See the Wikipedia page on ETag for more background.
