    Is Nginx_pagespeed faster in all cases forums,blogs, and does it really speed things so i can use it to my default installation?

    Thanks

    ngx_pagespeed speeds up page loading speed is some cases but there's no free lunch, there's server resource overhead in speeding up page loads in terms of cpu, memory and disk increase usage. This page speed up can come at the cost of higher scalability/throughput for standalone servers (you could scale horizontally with a bit more work configuration wise but not something provided with Centmin Mod out of the box).

    But ngx_pagespeed's benefits are web app specific -so if your web app is very optimised and employs all Google PageSpeed and Yahoo YSlow page speed optimisation recommendations, then you won't have as much benefit and can disable ngx_pagespeed via NGINX_PAGESPEED=n.

    @eva2000, does pagespeed cache images? I am noticing that whenever I attempt to change my user profile cover that the old image remains, and the same goes for my banner as well.

    I noticed in the link when I go to the images directly, it has pagespeed in it and was wondering about this.

    Yes it's cached but a browser hard refresh should clear it but i think pagespeed is smart enough to detect changes eventually too if you configure ngx_pagespeed correctly.

    Is this problem on this forum ? or your own site ?

    Code:
    curl -I https://community.centminmod.com/data/avatars/m/0/96x96x15.jpg,q1403917891.pagespeed.ic.8OrQHmxDkn.webp

    does it happen on this forum ? if not then it's your pagespeed.conf

    should really happen at all unless your non-cached non-pagespeed version has a very long cache control/expires time too

    see https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/filter-cache-extend

    read fully http://centminmod.com/nginx_ngx_pagespeed.html

    ngx_pagespeed is disabled by default even if installed/compiled into Nginx

    to enable ngx_pagespeed while it is compiled into Nginx use pscontrol shortcuts outlined at http://centminmod.com/nginx_ngx_pagespeed.html#intro and in pagespeed config files section at http://centminmod.com/nginx_ngx_pagespeed.html#configfiles

    typing in SSH the command pscontrol on enables it

    Code:
    pscontrol
pscontrol admin
pscontrol handler
pscontrol edit
pscontrol on
pscontrol off
pscontrol statson
pscontrol statsoff

    He means to type in "pscontrol off" after you SSH into your server with the user you are logging in with. This will shut it down.

    :)
