A module filter.
Both frames render identically — that's the goal. The win is in the bytes and requests
below, not the look. They're served live by the mod_pagespeed module on
demo-httpd-1.1.modpagespeed.com; the optimized frame
applies only this filter. Right after a cache purge it may briefly match the original while
the worker rewrites it — reload to see the result.
This filter needs configuration or content the public demo doesn't provide (e.g. an Analytics account id or a recognized JavaScript library), so there's no diff to show here — see the filter docs for what it does.

This is one of 49 filters the mod_pagespeed module applies in place — self-hosted on Apache, nginx, and IIS. Install and run it: it optimizes right away and adds an the optimized response headers shown above. Open source under the Apache License 2.0 — free in development and in production.
