Two years ago we released the
Page Speed browser extension
and earlier this year the
Page Speed Online API
to provide developers with specific suggestions to make their web pages faster. Last year we
released
mod_pagespeed,
an Apache module, to automatically rewrite web pages. To further simplify the life of webmasters
and to avoid the hassles of installation, today we are releasing the latest addition to the Page
Speed family:
Page Speed Service.
Page Speed Service is an online service that automatically speeds up loading of your web pages.
To use the service, you need to sign up and point your site's DNS entry to Google. Page Speed
Service fetches content from your servers, rewrites your pages by applying web performance best
practices, and serves them to end users via Google's servers across the globe. Your users will
continue to access your site just as they did before, only with faster load times. Now you don't
have to worry about concatenating CSS, compressing images, caching, gzipping resources or other
web performance best practices.
In our testing we have seen speed improvements of
25% to 60% on several sites.
But we know you care most about the numbers for your site, so check out
how much Page Speed Service can speed up your site.
If you're encouraged by the results, please
sign up.
If not, be sure to check back later. We are diligently working on adding more improvements to
the service.
At this time, Page Speed Service is being offered without payment to a limited set of webmasters.
Pricing will be competitive and details will be made available later. You can request access to
the service by
filling out this web form.
