Our Linux-based Web Hosting accounts can use mod_pagespeed
, which is an open-source module that optimizes Web pages and their resources for better performance. For more information, see Google's documentation.
You can enable it on your hosting account through a .htaccess
file. Here's an example of the coding you can include in your .htaccess file to enable the Extend Cache function:
<IfModule pagespeed_module> ModPagespeed on ModPagespeedEnableFilters extend_cache </IfModule>
You can enable the following functions using the ModPagespeedEnableFilters
directive:
Function | pagespeed.conf Code |
---|---|
Extend Cache | extend_cache |
Collapse Whitespace | collapse_whitespace |
Combine CSS | combine_css |
Move CSS to HEAD | move_css_to_head |
Elide Attributes | elide_attributes |
Remove Comments | remove_comments |
For more information about a mod_pagespeed
function, click its link from the Function column.
You can also enable the following directives in the .htaccess
file:
ModPagespeedDisallow
ModPagespeedAllow
ModPagespeedMapOriginDomain
ModPagespeedMapRewriteDomain
For more information about using these directives, see Using mod_pagespeed.
We are still testing any mod_pagespeed
functions not yet listed for compatibility, performance, and reliability. Because mod_pagespeed
is still in a beta offering, its features might change. We also cannot guarantee that any enabled modules will not conflict with your website's existing content.
