Abstract
In November 2010, Google launched mod_pagespeed: an open-source Apache module that makes web sites faster by dynamically rewriting HTML, Images, CSS, and JavaScript while serving them. It reduces byte-count, request-count, and restructures web pages to optimize browser behavior. It has been adopted by multiple hosting providers, content delivery networks, and it now powers over 700,000 web sites across 5 server platforms.
Recently the team has focused on improving the mobile experience and we will demonstrate the benefits of automating acceleration on the mobile platform.

I decided to start Reno Motorcycle Riders Group because I wanted to be part of a group of people who enjoyed my passion... I was excited and nervous. Our group has grown by leaps and bounds. I never thought it would be this big.
