In this article, AZDIGI will help you install mod_pagespeed into Apache on the DirectAdmin server.
I. Introduction
Mod_pagespeed is an open-source Apache HTTP (or Nginx) Server module that automatically applies selected filters to pages and related content such as style sheets, JavaScript and HTML files, as well as images and related site cache requirements.
A key advantage of this module is that it requires no modification of existing content or workflow, which means all internal optimizations and file changes are done on the server, showing modified files directly to users accessing the website.
II. Install mod_pagespeed into Apache on the DirectAdmin server
To install mod_pagespeed into Apache on the DirectAdmin server, we follow these 2 steps.
Step 1: SSH into your server
To install mod_pagespeed into Apache on the DirectAdmin server, we first need to SSH or access your VPS/server with root privileges. Or at least log in to the server with a user with sudo privileges. If you don’t know how to SSH into your VPS/Server, you can refer to the following tutorial:
After successfully SSH, we continue with step 2 to execute the commands to install mod_pagespeed into Apache.
Step 2: Commands to install mod_pagespeed into Apache on the DirectAdmin server
The commands to install mod_pagespeed into Apache on the DirectAdmin server are relatively long, I will divide them into sections for you to follow easily.
First, we will download the mod_pagespeed module and install it with the following commands:
mkdir -p /root/mod_pagespeed
cd /root/mod_pagespeed
wget -O mod-pagespeed-stable_current_x86_64.rpm https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/linux/direct/mod-pagespeed-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
yum install cpio -y
rpm2cpio mod-pagespeed-stable_current_x86_64.rpm| cpio -idmv
The following are images during the execution of these commands.
Next, we replace the necessary files with the following commands:
mv -f ./etc/httpd/conf.d/pagespeed.conf /etc/httpd/conf/extra/pagespeed.conf
mv -f ./etc/httpd/conf.d/pagespeed_libraries.conf /etc/httpd/conf/extra/pagespeed_libraries.conf
mv -f ./usr/bin/pagespeed_js_minify /usr/bin/pagespeed_js_minify
mv -f ./usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_pagespeed_ap24.so /usr/lib/apache/mod_pagespeed_ap24.so
mkdir -p /var/cache/mod_pagespeed
mkdir -p /var/log/pagespeed
And here is the image when I run it:
Continue to replace the path /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/ with /usr/lib/apache/ in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/pagespeed.conf with the command below:
perl -pi -e 's|/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/|/usr/lib/apache/|g' /etc/httpd/conf/extra/pagespeed.conf
After running the replacement command above, we edit the file /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-includes.conf and add the following 2 lines of configuration:
Include /etc/httpd/conf/extra/pagespeed.conf
Include /etc/httpd/conf/extra/pagespeed_libraries.conf
By default, this file will have no content at all.
Finally, we restarted the Apache service.
service httpd restart
So we have installed mod_pagespeed into Apache complete.
To check if the websites on this server have Mod_pagespeed enabled, we use the following command:
curl -Is tenmien.com | grep X-Mod-Pagespeed
Remember to replace tenmien.com with a domain running on your VPS.
You will get the following result:
X-Mod-Pagespeed: 1.13.35.2-0
Here are my results:
