Nginx MariaDB Nginx PageSpeed Is MEMCACHE with PageSpeed still safe to do following the blog

I wouldn't use that particular guide because memcached has a key length limit that is hardcoded to 250 bytes so if you have non-english encoded urls or very long url lengths you can run into that hardcoded limit - see https://community.centminmod.com/threads/problem-memcached-and-long-urls.1661/

memcached usage in general is fine otherwise i.e. with ngx_pagespeed itself or when web apps use cache keys less than 250 bytes which most do except that specific guide linked to. IIRC, i read the wordpress ffpc memcached plugin did get an update to hash those longer urls to make sure the cache keys are under 250 bytes though.

but generally if you can use centmin.sh menu option 22 for wordpress installations, choosing one of the 3 cache options are most safe especially cache enabler (option 1) as it's the least problematic option of the 3 see https://community.centminmod.com/th...l-vs-centmin-sh-menu-option-22-install.15435/

50/50 for me yes there hasn't been any packaged release version updates in ngx_pagespeed since Feb 2018 apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx

though commit updates to master branch was this year Feb 2019 https://github.com/apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx/commits/master. There's been 19 commits in master since the last 1.13.35.2 stable release you can see at https://github.com/apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx/compare/v1.13.35.2-stable...master.

 

My little nudge for a release Are we due for another beta release since 1.13.35.2 ? · Issue #1635 · apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx

Good choice
