Nginx PageSpeed Nginx PageSpeed 1.13.35.1-beta Released

Update: 1.13.35.1-beta was released PageSpeed Release Notes

ngx_pagespeed 1.13.35.1-beta has been released. Read below for instructions for updating your Centmin Mod Nginx's ngx_pagespeed module integration. Latest centmin mod 123.08stable and 123.09beta01 by default now disable ngx_pagespeed module and remove it's integration out of the box unless you specifically enable it in 123.09beta01 builds via NGINX_PAGESPEED=y.

The centmin mod 123.09beta01 is only branch that now supports ngx_pagespeed 1.13+ branch versions so if you need to enable ngx_pagespeed 1.13, you need to switch and upgrade to latest 123.09beta01 beta via centmin.sh menu option 23 sub menu option 2 or 3.

Summary

Basic summary is you have 2 options going forth:

Option 1

You actively use ngx_pagespeed and require updating ngx_pagespeed - then you update or switch to Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 branch as 123.08stable doesn't support ngx_pagespeed 1.10+ branch. Once you switch to 123.09beta01 branch confirm centmin.sh has 1.13.35.1 listed for Nginx Pagespeed variables with command

Code (Text):

grep '1.13.35.1' /usr/local/src/centminmod/centmin.sh

and if it doesn't report 1.13.35.1+ versions, use centmin.sh menu option 23 submenu option 2 to update your 123.09beta01 code. Then set in /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc persistent config file you create or already created and set:

Code (Text):

NGINX_PAGESPEED=y
NGXDYNAMIC_NGXPAGESPEED='y'

and then recompile lastest Nginx version 1.13.6 or higher version via centmin.sh menu option 4. Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 change log is here.

Option 2

You do not use ngx_pagespeed and want to disable it - then you update to latest Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 branch or update to 123.08stable code via centmin.sh menu option 23 and just then recompile lastest Nginx version 1.13.6 and higher version via centmin.sh menu option 4 (which already has NGINX_PAGESPEED=n set out of box)

How to Update ngx_pagespeed

Best way is to also keep your Centmin Mod code updated as outlined at Upgrade Centmin Mod - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS via centmin.sh menu option 23 if possible then you won't need to play with changing version numbers if I already updated the code for the new versions. However, if I have not updated the versions, you can do that yourself using instructions below.

Both 123.08stable and 123.09beta01 now disable ngx_pagespeed by default, to enable set in /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc persistent config file you create or already created and set:

Code (Text):

NGINX_PAGESPEED=y

and then recompile Nginx 1.13.6 or higher via centmin.sh menu option 4

Note that 123.08stable ngx_pagespeed support is disabled by default for newer installs due to Nginx 1.9.11+ compatibility issues and ngx_pagespeed 1.10+ or 1.11+ branch is not supported in 123.08stable, so please update to Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 and ngx_pagespeed 1.13 branch

For 123.09beta01

Code (Text):

NGXPGSPEED_VER='1.13.35.1-beta'
NGINX_PAGESPEEDPSOL_VER='1.13.35.1'

For 123.08stable and nginx versions 1.9.10 and below, update to 123.09beta01 first then added version variables in /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc persistent config file

For 123.09beta01 and nginx versions 1.9.11+ and higher, change variables in /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc persistent config file

to

Code (Text):

NGXPGSPEED_VER='1.13.35.1-beta'
NGINX_PAGESPEEDPSOL_VER='1.13.35.1'

then recompile nginx via centmin.sh menu option 4 with Nginx version 1.13.6 or higher if using Centmin Mod 123.09beta01

check that ngx_pagespeed updated version was compiled via nginx -V command

Switching to 123.09beta01 branch

Switching to 123.09beta01 branch is easy via centmin.sh menu option 23 submenu option 1 first then submenu option
3

 

Looks like changes to /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeed.conf are needed due to pagespeed off being deprecated for pagespeed standby outlined at PageSpeed Configuration

Latest updated 123.09beta01 build as of today will auto update on centmin.sh mneu option 4 nginx update/recompile runs the 2 relevant files for /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeed.conf and /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedadmin.conf changing the default off setting for ngx_pagespeed from

Code (Text):

pagespeed off;

to

Code (Text):

pagespeed unplugged;

 

cheers thanks for the confirmation

working so far here too

 

glad to hear

 

yes there are benefits depending on site layout/web app and how ngx_pagespeed is configured and fine tuned. I have been using ngx_pagespeed on this forum and sites for 3+ yrs now

• Nginx PageSpeed - Benefits of ngx_pagespeed
• and HTTP/2 or SPDY + ngx_pagespeed is still faster than without TTFB How fast it should be about?
• Nginx PageSpeed - Nginx Pagespeed Troubleshooting steps

 

full output for

Code (Text):

cat /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc

strange as with ngx_pagespeed enabled with

Code (Text):

NGINX_PAGESPEED=y
NGXDYNAMIC_NGXPAGESPEED='y'

it auto sets CLANG='n' to use GCC compiler for nginx + ngx_pagespeed for best compatibility so you shouldn't be able to compile nginx with CLANG_FOUR='y' and CLANG='y' = clang 4.0.1
what happens if you just set in persistent config

Code (Text):

NGXDYNAMIC_BROTLI='y'
NGINX_LIBBROTLI='y'
NGINX_DEVTOOLSETGCC='y'
LETSENCRYPT_DETECT='y'
NGINX_PAGESPEED=y
NGXDYNAMIC_NGXPAGESPEED='y'

 

k will figure out where the bug is, as when nginx pagespeed is enabled, it should auto fall back to GCC and disable Clang compiler

 

FYI, updated 123.09beta01 with fix for centos 6 & ngx_pagespeed 1.13.35.1-beta compatibility
