mod_pagespeed with Joshua Marantz

In November 2010, Google launched mod_pagespeed (http://modpagespeed.com/): 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 120,000 web sites. After a product demonstration, we'll describe the architecture of mod_pagespeed, its recent past, latest features, a road-map for the near future, and opportunities for community contribution to the open-source effort.
