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 -

So what else does Operations do? Well, there is a whole organisation run by the UK govermnent to help answer that question! ITIL , or the IT Infrastructure Library, is a library of best practice information that basically tells you everything you need to do to run an IT department. Similarly developers have development methodologies such as RAD, JAD, Agile/XP, and Project Managers have PM methodologies such as Prince 2, PMBok etc to cover off their areas in more specific detail. ITIL breaks it down into 7 key areas: Service Support - deals with the actual provision of IT services such as the service (help) desk, incident management, problem management, release management etc Service Delivery - deals with ensuring that you can continue to DELIVER the service support functions with things like contigency planning, capacity management, service levels etc The Business Perspective - helps to ensure that the IT function is aligned with the organisation's business strategy and that how to

Using Gmail aliases to create multiple test email accounts for QA

Came across this today when someone wanted to know how to create multiple email test accounts without involving their IT department (don’t ask!) or managing multiple free email accounts. Gmail allows you to create aliases for your email address automatically. For example, if your Gmail account is joe.bloggs@gmail.com then joe.bloggs+test.case01@gmail.com will work for your account – anything after the “+” sign can be used to create an alias.  These emails will be delivered to your normal Gmail inbox. So when you are testing you can use +test.case01, +test.case02, +test.case03 and so on as your test email addresses (assuming that your application doesn’t get upset at the use of the “+” in an email address. It shouldn’t, its a valid character in the RFC http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3696#page-5 ) So lets say you want to filter these test emails and label so they don’t get lost in your Inbox. Easy, just use a Gmail filter and search for a whatever common “stem” you used in f
