    Hello,
    It seems as though using pagespeed with a CDN is useless. I launched 2 VPS's at Vultr, Both with the exact same theme and plugins. One, I installed PageSpeed only, the other, I installed MaxCDN + Page Speed

    When running a speed test in Pingdom to view the file list - the one with MaxCDN + Pagespeed only showed the MaxCDN link for images, js and css - The other site with pagespeed only was minifying css, images, js and running supper fast. The one that maxCDN only was on, was slower. About 300ms slower

    So, what I find is that, adding maxCDN is great in terms of offloading your assets to the CDN, whoever, it is slower then with Pagespeed only. Has anyone else seen this?

    Nginx 1.27.x
    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+
    depends entirely on CDN service, it's available locations respective to proximity to your server origin and how your CDN and pagespeed are configured. You can see I did play with CDN + pagespeed on this forums and as you are a Premium Centmin Mod member, you have access to my Google Analytic dashboards shown at CDN + ngx_pagespeed testing on forums | Centmin Mod Community You can find the custom Google Analytic dashboards and how to install them in Private Premium Members forums ;)

    Also nice read for nginx pagespeed + CDN configurtaion of pagespeed.conf at Nginx PageSpeed - If I'll try to use CDN | Centmin Mod Community

    FYI, use webpagetest.org and multiple geographic locations to properly test CDN and non-CDN load tests :)
