Hi, all:

```
 I know the pagespeed module for Apache can make the page visit

```

faster, so , I wonder whether there is an equivalent for Nginx?

thanks in advance!

If it’s a PHP web application, look into memcached

as far as I know, the memcahced is concerned about caching, and  
pagespeed can process the web resources, such as combining JavaScript  
files, removing comments and Quotes for HTML files.

so I think even though in PHP web application memcahed does not equal to  
pagespeed.

Hi,

You can take a look into my experimental port of mod\_pagespeed for nginx  
:

It’s functional but very minimal for now, don’t hesitate to contribute  
and  
help extending it!

Cheers,

Matthieu.

it’s mod\_pagespeed just a bad excuse for having a shitty deployment  
process? Basically you want to waste CPU and IO on run-time  
optimizations that could be done during deployment?
