Using Pagespeed

Note: This feature is depreciated with EasyEngine v3.6.0.

Note: Test your site properly before using this in production.

Adding Nginx repo

If you are EasyEngine user then you can skip this step

For Ubuntu 12.04/14.04:


			add-apt-repository -y ppa:rtcamp/nginx
apt-get update

For Debian 6/7:


			echo "deb http://packages.dotdeb.org $(lsb_release -sc) all" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotdeb-$(lsb_release -sc).list
apt-get update

Installation of Nginx Pagespeed

For Ubuntu 12.04/14.04:


			apt-get install nginx-custom

Note: If you are using EasyEngine then this step is not required

For Debian 6/7:


			apt-get install nginx-extras

This will install nginx-extras on your server, by removing nginx-full.

Create new pagespeed global configuration file


			vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/pagespeed.conf

			# Turning the module on and off
pagespeed on;

pagespeed RewriteLevel PassThrough;

# Needs to exist and be writable by nginx.  Use tmpfs for best performance.
pagespeed MemcachedServers "127.0.0.1:11211";
pagespeed FileCachePath /var/ngx_pagespeed_cache;

# PageSpeed Admin
pagespeed StatisticsPath /ngx_pagespeed_statistics;
pagespeed GlobalStatisticsPath /ngx_pagespeed_global_statistics;
pagespeed MessagesPath /ngx_pagespeed_message;
pagespeed ConsolePath /pagespeed_console;
pagespeed AdminPath /pagespeed_admin;
pagespeed GlobalAdminPath /pagespeed_global_admin;

# PageSpeed Cache Purge

Creating site specific Pagespeed configuration

Create new site specific configuration file


			vim /etc/nginx/common/pagespeed.conf

Paste following code into it


			# PageSpeed Admin
location /ngx_pagespeed_statistics { include common/acl.conf; }
location /ngx_pagespeed_global_statistics { include common/acl.conf; }
location /ngx_pagespeed_message { include common/acl.conf; }
location /pagespeed_console { include common/acl.conf; }
location ~ ^/pagespeed_admin { include common/acl.conf; }
location ~ ^/pagespeed_global_admin { include common/acl.conf; }

# Ensure requests for pagespeed optimized resources go to the pagespeed handler
# and no extraneous headers get set.
location ~ "\.pagespeed\.([a-z]\.)?[a-z]{2}\.[^.]{10}\.[^.]+" {
  add_header "" "";
}
location ~ "^/pagespeed_static/" { }
location ~ "^/ngx_pagespeed_beacon$" { }
