Übersicht
PageSpeed (mod_pagespeed) optimizes your site and makes content load more quickly. PageSpeed applies a variety of filters including minifying scripts, inlining CSS, and automatically deferring JavaScript to avoid blocking DOM rendering. Users can browse your site with less latency, and in turn, improve visitor engagement.
Availability
PageSpeed is available on all v5+ Plattformen. PageSpeed is enabled by default.
Filter usage
PageSpeed is built as modular filters. These filters, in turn, may be added and removed to a web site resulting in a variety of optimizations. Filters may be added or removed in a .htaccess-Datei. By default, all filters listed in CoreFilters
(refer to Filter list) are enabled.
- Create a file named
.htaccess
in your Dokumentenstamm if it does not already exist- To add filters:
ModPagespeedEnableFilters filtera,filterb
- To remove filters:
ModPagespeedDisableFilters filtera,filterb
- To add filters:
- Once committed, these filters specified will be added or removed from
CoreFilters
