mod_pagespeed
Apache module for rewriting web pages to reduce
latency and bandwidth
|
Here are some of the most useful PageSpeed filters. Each one has a simple HTML example attached; click "before" to see the original file, and "after" to see what PageSpeed produces with that filter (and only that filter) enabled. The two versions should look exactly the same, but the "after" one will be (slightly) speedier. Use "view source" to see the PageSpeed difference!
