    Can you explain how this works with the mod_pagespeed module, as at the moment my page optimization is been handled by mod_pagespeed as soon as I enable CDN this gets off loaded to keycdn and is optimized and therefore is scoring lower on pagespeed and load time.

  • Hey Peter,

    The mod_pagespeed is installed on your origin server so it does the URL rewrite and has the ability to do more optimizations because it has full control over your content.

    A CDN provider is accepting requests for content and delivering it and therefore can’t predict all the scenarios on your side. The CDN enabler plugin is simply offloading assets to the edge servers. Lots of optimization is done on the edge servers themselves, such as caching, gzip, HPACK compression, etc, but again it has to work globally for everyone.

    Here is just an example of a basic site running on KeyCDN that scores 100/100 on PageSpeed Insights, using CDN Enabler. I am curious what other optimizations you have done?

    Hopefully that helps!

    I have used keycdn to offload the jpg’s by using just wp-content/uploads in the included directories section but if I use the options wp-content,wp-includes i get the recommendations (minify javascript and minify css) so the pages are larger and therefore take longer to load the total page at the client end. So 5 passed rules if I use mod_pagespeed and only 3 using cdn.

    I believe you can use mod_pagespeed to offload to a cdn service but not looked into that yet.
