Mod_pagespeed – first hand experiences in Prod #webperf

Someone over in the "Web Operations Professionals" LinkedIn group
(http://www.linkedin.com/groups?mostPopular=&gid=141947) posed the
question "does anyone have an first hand experience of mod_pagespeed",
particularly regarding suitability for the production environment,
ease of implementation and effectiveness in site acceleration.

I haven't seen many case studies around as yet, so I thought I would
pose the question to the #webperf groups and hopefully collate the
responses into a blog post or something.

So - are you using it in Production and what's your experience been
like?

If you could post your thoughts in the comments section on the blog, or reply on any of the #webperf groups -

Try the discussion group for mod_pagespeed. I'm sure there are a good number of people there running it in production environments: http://groups.google.com/group/mod-pagespeed-discuss

Alexa has performance rankings too!

I must confess that this one had slipped past me… I wasn’t aware that Alexa was now offering performance rankings as well! Alexa now shows an “average load time” as well as a “comparitive ranking” (i.e. 51% of sites are slower). Interesting data for your next website analysis! It’s worth noting that the quoted “1.404 seconds” is about the same as the “repeat view” measurement webpagetest.org (testing from the UK node shows that www.johnlewis.com takes about 7.2 seconds to load with an empty cache, and 1.6 seconds with a primed cache, median values over 5 runs). Presumably this is an average across all Alexa toolbar users, on all johnlewis.com pages (large and small) with empty and primed caches.

Load Testing Case Study

Since we are talking about presentations here is another one I did for the Load Testing Expo in 2009. It’s a case study of how we did the performance testing for an internet-facing content/community/jobs site.
