Comments on Using ngx_pagespeed With nginx On Debian Wheezy

Google has just released PageSpeed Beta for nginx, the nginx equivalent of mod_pagespeed for Apache. This module applies web performance best practices to pages, and associated assets (CSS, JavaScript, images) and therefore speeds up your web site and reduces load times. This tutorial explains how to use PageSpeed with nginx on Debian Wheezy.

Excellent walk-through - thank you!

Actually, I had to deviate a little to get this working. Specifically, I had to download both the mod_PageSpeed sources as well as PSOL sources, and grabbed release packages so they matched. Following the instructions at https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/archive/v1.7.30.1-beta.tar.gz

So instead of

git clone https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed.git

I did

wget https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/archive/release-1.7.30.1-beta.zip
unzip release-1.7.30.1-beta.zip
cd ngx_pagespeed-release-1.7.30.1-beta/
wget https://dl.google.com/dl/page-speed/psol/1.7.30.1.tar.gz
tar -xzvf 1.7.30.1.tar.gz # expands to psol/

and then was able to build nginx package.

Also to compile 1.7.30 beta module will be necessary to rename pagespeed folder or change the path to module in rule file.
