Google’s Page Speed Server Module Now Out Of Beta: mod_pagespeed

Google announced the Apache HTTP server module they released to help webmasters speed up their sites about two years ago is now out of beta.

Google said that after eighteen releases they are now “taking off the Beta label” off mod_pagespeed, an open-source Apache HTTP server module that helps improve load times, speed, and server resources with CSS, JavaScript, images and other properties to make for faster web pages.

Google claims over 120,000 sites are currently using it to speed up their web sites.

Webmasters and server administrators can learn more about this server tool at developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/mod.

As you know, Google finds page speed important. They use it as a factor in both organic and paid search. They have a page speed analytics tool in Webmaster Tools and several other tools to help webmaster measure their web page speed.
