As you probably know a couple of months ago Google announced that it would start taking into consideration the load speed of web pages when determining the its search rankings. In other words, the faster your page, the higher the chances of your rankings going up, and vice-versa.
Luckily for webmasters and site owners Google is also trying to help us to get there. This week one of its tools for this purpose went out of beta. It’s called mod_pagespeed.
Here’s how Google describers it: “mod_pagespeed is an open-source Apache module which automatically applies web performance best practices to pages, and associated assets (CSS, JavaScript, images) without requiring that you modify your existing content or workflow.”
Among other things it will:
Image optimization, compression, and resizing
CSS & JavaScript concatenation, minification, and inlining
Cache extension, domain sharding, and domain rewriting
Deferred loading of JavaScript and image resources
I still haven’t tried it, but when I get some free time I’ll install on my server and see how it works. Did any of you guys installed it already?
Check it out for yourself
