If your page is on the web, speed matters. For developers and webmasters, making your page faster shouldn’t be a hassle, which is why we introduced mod_pagespeed in 2010. Since then the development team has been working to improve the functionality, quality and performance of this open-source Apache module that automatically optimizes web pages and their resources. Now, after almost two years and eighteen releases, we are announcing that we are taking off the Beta label.
We’re committed to working with the open-source community to continue evolving mod_pagespeed, including more, better and smarter optimizations and support for other web servers. Over 120,000 sites are already using mod_pagespeed to improve the performance of their web pages using the latest techniques and trends in optimization. The product is used worldwide by individual sites, and is also offered by hosting providers, such as DreamHost, Go Daddy and content delivery networks like EdgeCast. With the move out of beta we hope that even more sites will soon benefit from the web performance improvements offered through mod_pagespeed.
mod_pagespeed is a key part of our goal to help make the web faster for everyone. Users prefer faster sites and we have seen that faster pages lead to higher user engagement, conversions, and retention. In fact, page speed is one of the signals in search ranking and ad quality scores. Besides evangelizing for speed, we offer tools and technologies to help measure, quantify, and improve performance, such as Site Speed Reports in Google Analytics, PageSpeed Insights, and PageSpeed Optimization products. In fact, both mod_pagespeed and PageSpeed Service are based on our open-source PageSpeed Optimization Libraries project, and are important ways in which we help websites take advantage of the latest performance best practices.
To learn more about mod_pagespeed and how to incorporate it in your site, watch our recent Google Developers Live session or visit the mod_pagespeed product page.

Abhishek Jain, DarkUFO: No, blogger does not currently implement mod_pagespeed, and because it is a hosted service there is no way to enable this functionality from the client.
Sunita Kumari: mod_pagespeed can be used with any website that is served by an Apache HTTP server! Check the documentation and instructions by following the link in the blog post.
Any chance of an option to leave copyright metadata intact when using mod_pagespeed?
nada: You are correct, this is a current limitation, but I've entered a bug report so you can track progress: http://code.google.com/p/modpagespeed/issues/detail?id=520
well, interesting... would like to know something more about it in non-technical word-groups.... thanks..
really an interesting post....
how to implement this mod on google ?
This is great, been waiting for this! Look forward to seeing a difference.
This it great how do implement
Have you tested this on a complex, e-commerce platform, like Fiftyflowers.com? We have a custom built PHP shopping cart, and complicated Product Page coding that involves a lot of JS and database calls.
Do you guys have any feeling on how many bugs or side effects I could predict, If I am able to convince our hosting provider to implement it?
Many Thanks

It was made for Linux and you have a FreeBSD server so the install may not work.
Is this true?
mod_pagespeed has been ported to FreeBSD: http://web-tech.ga-usa.com/2010/11/using-compiling-mod_pagespeed-for-apache-and-freebsd/
Seems like every host in the world should implement this by default. I'm going to contact my host immediately about this and ask why it hasn't been implemented or even recommended.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention again.

Reply soon
really an interesting post.. especially for a learner like me.. thanks google
want to make my website to load faster because I have too many videos and pictures. I think I need a new server installation so I can make this mod_pagespeed work for me. I hope I can find the right server that suits my website. I will try Apache HTTP server because the other commenters claims that it can work with that server.
According to Google developer, my blog speed is; 91/100. That's great but i am still optimizing cos I care about my readers as much as i care about making money. Sirs, I appreciate your innovation and hard work.
can anyone help me, I have googlesites website, when I made the website it gave me the option in the page edit to include a sitemap which I did. Now in Gwebmaster it offers me to submit a sitemap. the url of the sitemap is not supported in webmaster. how do I submit a sitemap in Gwebmaster having made the site with googlesites?
Thanks
