Ats_speed: Automatic WPO plugin powered by Google PageSpeed Optimization

Ats_speed provides automatic web performance optimization,  powered by Google PageSpeed.
The plugin was build by We-Amp for its online demonstration service  of PageSpeed optimization for Microsoft IIS: IISpeed.
Google PageSpeed Optimization speeds up your website by implementing web performance best practices.  
A few of its features:

 

  • Prioritize visible content above the fold
  • Minify, rewrite, and combine javascript
  • Optimize images (inlining, rescaling/recompression, webp transcoding and more)
  • Sprite css images
  • HTML minification
  • Defer javascript
  • Lazyload and inline images

Ats_speed is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0, and resides on github.
We are able to offer official support and tuning at info@we-amp.com.

Our intent is to donate the port to the ASF and if possible merge with LinkedIn's work on ats_pagespeed

Techical details

The current state compiles against mod_pagspeed svn revision 3537.

Please note the this plugin will generate asserts when build against the debug version of mps (option->Merge from a different thread).

The plugin should be considered a work-in-progress. Currently it perfectly fits our first use case, but to be able to use this 
as a generic building block for a CDN or accelerator addition, some things need to be improved. 
Primarily configuration, and possible the introduction of multiple ServerContext's to be able to
balance resources for multiple hosts properly. 

This plugin is known to be working on ubuntu 12.x (x64)

There are some hard-coded things in the plugin, so it expects:

  • /tmp/ps_log/ to exist
  • /tmp/ats_ps/ to exist

Configuration files go into /usr/local/etc/trafficserver/psol. That folder is monitored, and changes to files in there are picked up immediately.
A sample configuration (/usr/local/etc/trafficserver/psol/foo.config):

# [host] [192.168.185.185] 
# Force traffic server to cache all origin responses 
override_expiry pagespeed

pagespeed EnableFilters fallback_rewrite_css_urls,insert_img_dimensions,lazyload_images,local_storage_cache 
pagespeed EnableFilters prioritize_critical_css,rewrite_css pagespeed EnableFilters combine_javascript,combine_css 

The plugin also expects this in records.config from ATS to function:CONFIG proxy.config.url_remap.pristine_host_hdr INT 0
You can view debug output of the plugin using traffic_server -T ".*speed.*"
