Google PageSpeed Tools
Google PageSpeed is a family of tools by Google, Inc. designed to help optimize website performance. It was introduced at a Developer Conference in 2010. There are four main components of PageSpeed family tools:
The PageSpeed Modules are the open-source Apache HTTP Server or Nginx web server modules, which automatically apply chosen filters to pages, associated assets (like stylesheets, JavaScript, and HTML files), as well as to images and website cache requirements. These modules do not require modifications to existing content or workflow, meaning that all internal optimizations and changes to files are made on the server side, and present modified files directly to the user. Each of the 40+ filters corresponds to one of Google's web performance best practices rules.
Since the PageSpeed module is an open-source library, it is frequently updated by numerous developers worldwide. It can be deployed by any individual site, hosting providers, or CDNs.
The installation can be done in two ways: from packages or built from source on the following supported platforms:
Other servers that offer a PageSpeed optimization module based on Google's Page Speed SDK:
PageSpeed module filters are settings, based on which a web page optimization rule is applied. They can be divided into five main categories:
The PageSpeed Module showed the most significant impact on decreasing web page loading times, payload size, and number of requests compared to other industry options. According to several researchers, 'mod_pagespeed' can reduce loading times by up to 80%, the number of bytes on a wire can be decreased by 30%, and the number of total requests can drop by over 20%. Since many search engines, including Google, employ a ranking algorithm that is affected by a page's loading speed, these optimizations can impact a website's placement in search results. As of February 2015, Google has begun testing “Slow” labels on mobile devices for websites that exceed a certain amount of loading time, prompting developers to examine ways to increase a page's load speed.
Google estimates that for every delay in mobile page load time, the conversion rate drops by 20%.
