Have you wanted to use mod\_pagespeed to speed up your site, but been unable to because you don’t use Apache? We’ve now finished the initial version of an Nginx port. You can see it in action, with examples of each of our optimizations, on our demonstration site: ``` http://ngxpagespeed.com ``` Keep in mind that this is alpha (early stage) software and most sites should wait until we release a beta version. When we have that ready we’ll announce it here: [https://groups.google.com/group/ngx-pagespeed-announce](https://groups.google.com/group/ngx-pagespeed-announce) To try out the current version, see: [GitHub - apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx: Automatic PageSpeed optimization module for Nginx](https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed#how-to-build) [GitHub - apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx: Automatic PageSpeed optimization module for Nginx](https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed#how-to-use) If you run into problems, please let us know. We’re happy to look at why ngx\_pagespeed isn’t working in your situation, and problems you run into probably affect more people than just you. Thanks to Otto van der Schaaf, Ben Noordhuis, Yao Weibin, Junmin Xiong, Jan-Willem Maessen, Jud Porter, Maksim Orlovich, Shawn Ligocki, and Joshua Marantz for their contributions and assistance.
