\n Page Speed<\/a>,
\n a tool that gives developers suggestions to speed up web pages. It’s usually pretty
\n straightforward for developers and webmasters to implement these suggestions by updating their
\n web server configuration, HTML, JavaScript, CSS and images. But we thought we could make it even
\n easier—ideally these optimizations should happen with minimal developer and webmaster
\n effort.\n<\/p>\n
\n mod_pagespeed<\/code><\/a>
\n to perform many speed optimizations automatically. We’re starting with more than 15 on-the-fly
\n optimizations that address various aspects of web performance, including optimizing caching,
\n minimizing client-server round trips and minimizing payload size. We’ve seen mod_pagespeed reduce
\n page load times by up to 50% (an average across a rough sample of sites we tried)—in other
\n words, essentially speeding up websites by about 2x, and sometimes even faster.\n<\/p>\n
\n mod_pagespeed<\/code> excels at:\n<\/p>\n\n
\n changes to the CMS itself,\n <\/li>\n
\n (typically tedious to optimize manually), and\n <\/li>\n
\n allowing you to update these at any time.\n <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n Go Daddy<\/a>
\n to get mod_pagespeed<\/code> running for many of its 8.5 million customers. Warren Adelman,
\n President and COO of Go Daddy, says:\n<\/p>\n
\n possible. That’s the reason we partnered with Google on the ‘Make the Web Faster’ initiative.
\n Go Daddy engineers are seeing a dramatic decrease in load times of customers’ websites using
\n mod_pagespeed<\/code> and other technologies provided. We hope to provide the technology to
\n our customers soon – not only for their benefit, but for their website visitors as well.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n Cotendo<\/a>
\n to integrate the core engine of mod_pagespeed<\/code> as part of their Content Delivery
\n Network (CDN) service.\n<\/p>\nmod_pagespeed<\/code> integrates as a module for the Apache HTTP Server, and we’ve released
\n it as open-source for Apache for many Linux distributions. Download
\n mod_pagespeed<\/a>
\n for your platform and let us know what you think on the project’s
\n mailing list<\/a>.
\n We hope to work with the hosting, developer and webmaster community to improve
\n mod_pagespeed<\/code> and make the web faster.\n<\/p>\n
