Here are the steps to install the mod\_pagespeed module for Apache:
Note: These steps are created for a Debian-based system like Ubuntu. Ensure that you have ‘sudo’ or root privileges to execute these commands.
1. Download the mod\_pagespeed module.
You can download it using the wget command. URLs for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available on the mod\_pagespeed’s github page. \`\`\`shell wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/linux/direct/mod-pagespeed-stable_current_amd64.deb \`\`\` If you’re running a 32-bit system, replace ‘amd64’ with ‘i386’.1. Install the mod\_pagespeed module.
You can install it with the dpkg command. \`\`\`shell sudo dpkg -i mod-pagespeed-\*.deb \`\`\` 1. Install necessary dependencies (if any). Some systems may lack certain dependencies. You can install them with apt-get’s ‘-f’ option. \`\`\`shell sudo apt-get -f install \`\`\` 1. After the module has been installed, restart your Apache server to apply changes. \`\`\`shell sudo service apache2 restart \`\`\`Note: If you want to change settings you can do so in ‘/etc/apache2/mods-available/pagespeed.conf’ and ‘/etc/apache2/mods-available/pagespeed.load’.
After finishing these steps, mod_pagespeed should be active on your Apache server. You can check if it’s working by viewing your website’s response headers. The ‘X-Mod-Pagespeed’ header should be present, indicating that mod_pagespeed is active.-
