At Google we want the whole web to be faster, and there is no better way to achieve this goal
than through helping our partners, both commercial and open-source, to deliver web
optimization products to their users and clients. The PageSpeed Optimization Libraries, which
are developed as part of our Make the Web
Faster initiative, are a cornerstone of this strategy, enabling a growing list of
products and integrations, developed both inside and outside Google.
SiteGround, a popular web hosting
provider, announced mod_pagespeed
support to their customers: "SuperCacher plugin is the first and only
plugin that fully integrates Google’s mod_pagespeed with cPanel. Simply put, mod_pagespeed
speeds up your site and reduces page load time automatically, with no additional knowledge
required on the users’ side. It also optimizes your website for mobile view and for better
browser rendering."
With SiteGround, you can enable PageSpeed optimizations on your site with one click. Then, you
can hand-tune and configure your site to match your specific needs through advanced customizations provided by
mod_pagespeed.
However, that’s not all. The portfolio of PageSpeed integrations continues to expand:
The We-AMP team has
announced a beta release of IISpeed, which
enables PageSpeed web content optimization within the Microsoft IIS web server. "IIS
and ASP.NET are very popular technologies on the web, powering millions of websites, and we
are excited to bring the full power of PageSpeed optimization to the Windows
platform," said Otto van der Schaaf and Kees Spoelstra.
Thanks to open-source contributions, mod_pagespeed is now integrated with CPanel and WHM, an
easy-to-use server control and management panel for web hosts and website owners.
Google Chrome has adapted PageSpeed to power the recently announced
Chrome data compression proxy,
which significantly reduces data usage and speeds up page load times on cellular
networks.
To find out how to leverage PageSpeed on your site or service,
or how to integrate the open source PageSpeed Optimization Libraries into your own product,
