Nginx PageSpeed ngx_pagespeed 1.12.34.1-beta released

eva2000 · Dec 14, 2016

Update: 1.12.34.2-beta was released for quick bug fix PageSpeed Release Notes | PageSpeed Module | Google Developers

ngx_pagespeed 1.12.34.1-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 1.11 branch versions so if you need to enable ngx_pagespeed 1.11, 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 1.12.34.2 listed for Nginx Pagespeed variables with command
Code (Text):
grep 1.12.34 /usr/local/src/centminmod/centmin.sh
and if it doesn't report 1.12.34.2+ 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 1.11.7 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 1.11.7 via centmin.sh menu option 4 (which already has NGINX_PAGESPEED=n set out of box)

Announcement

From PageSpeed Release Notes | PageSpeed Module | Google Developers

Release 1.12.34.1-beta
This release was made December 7, 2016.

New Features
Redis Support
Support for Redis Cache and Redis Cluster as external caches.

Add preload hints
This is a new filter, off by default, that looks for declaratively included stylesheets and javascript to figure out the page's dependencies, and inserts preload headers so the browser can start loading them immediately.

Optimize Srcsets
PageSpeed now optimizes images referenced in srcset attributes.

Set s-maxage
To prevent CDNs and other shared caches from caching the unoptimized version of resources for a long time, PageSpeed now adds s-maxage=10 to the cache-control headers for unoptimized resources that we intend to optimize in-place.

Allow combining stylesheets with IDs
PageSpeed would previously refuse to combine stylesheets with IDs, which interacted poorly with WordPress and other content management systems putting IDs on all their CSS files. Setting PermitIdsForCssCombiningwildcards allows you to indicate to PageSpeed which IDs on CSS files are ok to ignore.

FinderPropertiesCacheExpirationTimeMs
Configures the length of time the prioritize_critical_css beacons are valid.

AddResourceHeader
Allows setting headers on optimized resources for CORS support.

Shared Memory Cache Checkpointing
The shared memory metadata cache now checkpoints to disk every few minutes instead of writing all changes through as they happen. In our testing this improved performance on workloads that require many metadata writes by 21%.

Deprecations

Support for disabling InheritVHostConfig
For historical reasons, mod_pagespeed on Apache doesn't respect the global PageSpeed configuration when interpreting VHost configuration. Since 1.1 in 2012, however, it has shipped with a default configuration file that fixed this by setting InheritVHostConfig to "on". For the minority of installations that don't use the default configuration file, or explicitly set InheritVHostConfig to "off", PageSpeed will now log an error on startup warning that the setting will soon change. With the next major version release InheritVHostConfig will be forced to "on".

Centos 5 Support
CentOS 5, released in 2007, goes end-of-life at the end of March 2017. The 1.12 rpm packages are for CentOS 6 and later, and will fail to install on CentOS 5. The stable release track, 1.11, continues to support CentOS 5.

Issues Resolved
Issues Affecting both Nginx and Apache

Issue 1127 Don't accumulate waveforms that won't be displayed

Issue 1263 Minimal AMP support: don't invalidate AMP

Issue 1321 IPRO can change the content types of JavaScript resources

Issue 1337 Multiple instances of the cache cleaner can run simultaneously on large caches

Issue 1350 rewrite_domains doesn't apply to static assets

Issue 1373 RespectVary ignored when cache-extending

Issue 1386 LoadFromFile crashes on resources too big for memory

Issue 1405 Unexpected tag <head/> inside pages

Issue 1409 IPRO Records Resources of Unoptimizable Content Types

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 1.11.4 via centmin.sh menu option 4

For 123.08stable and nginx versions 1.9.10 and below. 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 1.11 branch

For 123.09beta01
Code (Text):
NGXPGSPEED_VER='1.12.34.1-beta'
NGINX_PAGESPEEDPSOL_VER='1.12.34.1'
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='1.12.34.1-beta'
NGINX_PAGESPEEDPSOL_VER='1.12.34.1'
then recompile nginx via centmin.sh menu option 4 with Nginx version 1.11.7 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

s-maxage very useful !
Setting s-maxage on unoptimized resources
Note: New feature as of 1.12.34.1

When there is a caching proxy between PageSpeed and the user, resources that haven't been optimized yet shouldn't be stored in the proxy cache for the full cache lifetime because this will prevent PageSpeed from optimizing them. As of 1.12.34.1, PageSpeed marks unoptimized resources with Cache-Control: s-maxage=10, telling shared caches that they should only hold the unoptimized resource for ten seconds. Browsers will ignore the s-maxage and will hold the resource for whatever cache lifetime you had originally set.

The s-maxage value is configurable:

Apache:
Code (Text):
ModPagespeedInPlaceSMaxAgeSec 10
Nginx:
Code (Text):
pagespeed InPlaceSMaxAgeSec 10;
To restore the earlier behavior and not insert s-maxage, set InPlaceSMaxAgeSec to -1.

Don't know if Pagespeed's filter could work as I don't use Pagespeed anymore.
But manually works fine.

As you can review in the image below, (by way of test) selected resources are preloaded, other source files are requested by the web page itself.

Damn. I need Nginx http / 2 server push.
