Hi Luke, Max Semenik has already evaluated mod_pagespeed. You can see the report here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:MaxSem/mod_pagespeed On Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 2:25 PM, Luke Frank <cortexa9(a)hotmail.it> wrote:

Note that Max's analysis is primarily centered around mobile and MobileFrontend. -- Tyler Romeo On Sep 11, 2013 6:15 AM, "Paul Selitskas" <p.selitskas(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I'd say the analysis applies equally to the 'regular' desktop view as well. Mobile and desktop both use ResourceLoader to batch and minify JS and CSS, and use similar HTTP caching mechanisms (the mobile caching is slightly more complicated due to the need to handle a couple slightly different output formats etc). It's not clear that mod_pagespeed does much useful that we can't do in MediaWiki + cache layer, and it doesn't really fit in well to the dynamic site architecture. -- brion

We tried it on rationalwiki.org (a "small to medium" MediaWiki) and decided it didn't do anything useful there either. Our constraint at the time was memory, not bytes of upload, and our Apache config was a confusing rickety mess already (which we are presently rebuilding afresh). So, not that good for small sites either. - d.
