mod_pagespeed for the win?

I know Google has their mod_pagespeed packages that you can install. My server has litespeed and cache on it. Would installing mod_pagespeed make any difference or is it duplication?

I have a CDN too if that alters the answers.

It is possible to enable both PageSpeed and LSCache together in theory, but we don't recommend it.

I've never liked mod_pagespeed, things break and performance benefits are negligible.

Great find. Thanks for that link. I am already doing quite well on site speed, but I am looking at different ways to make improvements. You can see my PageSpeed score here: https://www.access-programmers.co.u...our-opinions-here.309089/page-27#post-1670701

I don't focus on PageSpeed score at all, instead preferring to optimize these numbers:



Yours are good.

Where did you get those numbers from?

Chrome developer tools.

I will take a look!

Google's Pagespeed yields mis-leading results on my site. It would be more accurate if I weren't running Litespeed.

I used to run pagespeed on my server, before making the switch to Litespeed, and did like the results but found myself chasing too many issues. Litespeed offers pagespeed as an option, but believe that LSCache offers similar performance benefits with no headaches.
