mod_pagespeed release 0.10.21.2 is available as precompiled linux packages or as source. (See ReleaseNotes for information about bugs fixed) Page Speed (http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/) is a tool and library that identifies improvements that can be made to web-sites to improve their latency. mod_pagespeed automates the application of those rules in an Apache server. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images are changed dynamically during the web serving process, so that the best practices recommended by Page Speed can be used without having to change the way the web site is maintained.
This release is available as binary download for .deb (32-bit and 64-bit) and .rpm (32-bit and 64-bit). It has been tested on CentOS 5.4, Ubuntu 8.04, and Ubuntu 10.04. After installing mod_pagespeed, it can be customized and configured by editing the Apache configuration file, whose location is system dependent.
After editing the conf file, you must restart the httpd server:
In the absence of configuration-file options controlling Rewrite directives, a "core" set of rewriting filters will be enabled. Additional options can be added with configuration file directives, or the entire core-set can be removed so that each filter is enabled with an explicit directive. mod_pagespeed employs a disk cache that must be configured to a directory to which httpd has write access. The default configuration file sets this to /var/mod_pagespeed/cache/. To put the cache elsewhere please edit ModPagespeedFileCachePath to the desired location. A quick glance at the Apache error log file, typically in /var/log/apache2/error.log, will indicate whether the current setting is working. |
