Google's Mod-Pagespeed, what are you doing to speed up your page speed?
Hello,
You probably all have heard of mod-pagespeed from Google and since the search engines now calculate your pagespeed towards your ''SEO-points", it has become more and more important how fast your page loads.
What are you currently doing to improve your pagespeed?
I'm having some trouble with using mod_deflate correctly, I can't seem to figure out a good configuration. (Hope somebody a little for more experienced on this matter can help me setup a decent mod_deflate config, my current pagespeed insight rating for the site is just 41)

79 / 100 Is this decent?
What is the page you are testing?
"The page IPXcore LLC — Hosting and Virtualizat... got an overall PageSpeed Score of 76 (out of 100)."
And I find our website to be extremely slow and bloated. I don't know how you'd manage a 41...
I will both send you the url but please do not share this, thank you.
It'd probably be useful if you told us your site's url :P
With pagespeed, you can just go down the list of 'errors' it's picking up and theoretically, once you've fixed them your pagespeed score should improve.
I'm currently getting 96/100 on Gatsby; the errors are largely down to external sites I'm pulling javascript/css from.
I just can't get the compression to work, I followed several tutorials but google's still pointing out that compression should be activated.
The site is not legal in many countries but it still is in mine, using this site is actually forbidden in some countries. It's nzb related and I don't want the url to be linked to me in a public place as LET.
TBH, using mod-speed here even lowered the score from 51 to 41.
No as you can get up to 96/100, need to tweak the .htaccess and code.
try using the following URL to test:
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights
cpanel + nginxadmin. so i don't need that pagespeed :P
I also have an nginx reversed proxy from plesk 11.
Can you PM me the link also?
The page http://CENSORED got an overall PageSpeed Score of 100 (out of 100). Learn more
Nice, how'd you manage?
pure HTML...
This would be a good place to start --
samaxes.com/2011/05/improving-web-performance-with-apache-and-htaccess/
chache, minify, merge js and css, optimize images, sprite images are some of the basics but the list goes on...
@Mon5t3r the cpanel/directadmin plugins for nginx generally suck as they're just acting as a caching front, and not an actual webserver, pagespeed tends to be more about the actual content than the speed of delivering, my technical blog gets 99/100, while it's on straight nginx+php-fpm, it could likely retain that same score on a cpanel set up without nginx in front.
we use varnish cache

99/100 , didn't get 100/100 only because it claims I could have reduced the CSS another 1% for it.
I use Nginx so I can't use Pagespeed. But for the most part the default Tuxlite installation script with W3 Total Cache make my site fast enough.
You could also use minify script/builder to compress JS & CSS

That one should be really good for my wordpress sites, thanks!
As a usenet user, I'm interested, and I only know of one NZB site that's banned in a few countries. The site I use scored a 26/100, haha.
95/100 for SB mostly 3rd party JS lowering the score.
@wdq don't really need to use it, the module is mainly just helpful in identifying and suggesting areas to improve upon, a tad more indepth than an online tool would. So there's no real need to have a pagespeed module for nginx.
There is however an nginx module (native to nginx, not 3rd party) called Google Perftool module.
95/100 with mod_pagespeed + varnish + apache2
91/100 with varnish + apache2
Site was wordpress, with large images, youtube videos.
The module actually does do some enhancements, like compressing images, removing whitespace from CSS files, combining files.
95/100 with WordPress + W3TC on bog standard cPanel/Apache shared. Just need to optimize images, script ordering, blah blah..
Thanks for your input.
