Mario had no luck getting it built. He even couldn't get it to build on Debian. I think it will require more development.

I'm not sure I like the sound of it tho knowing the Goliath named Google. Also, why do I need to install by browser? Does the browser require plugin for it to really work? In any case, it does not look very Win friendly.

With just about everything being ripped from the core and placed into modules, Apache 2.4 should have a smaller footprint, which hopefully will improve performance. Guess we will see on that thought sometime next year maybe.

Maybe later, see http://groups.google.com/group/mod-pagespeed-discuss/browse_thread/thread/db2bb29dd8c0bf8d/d3103d5cae10fb70

I wasn't even able to get to compiling. Failed right at the beginning, trying to get VC project files from gyp files. I admit that I see it for the first time, but I'm quite confident, that "gyp all.gyp" in src\build directory should produce sln and vcproj files. But for me it just fails with quite unhelpful message, something about undefined variable in one of the gyp files.

Nope that are two different things. The plugin is to check the page speed for devs.

The module compresses css and javascript.

e.g. CSS

.bla {
    lorem:1;
    lorem2:36 whatever;
}


becomes


.bla { lorem:1; lorem2:36 whatever;}


Than also the modules combines the single CSS and javascripts into a single one and delivers it than to the browser. Indeed it has to change the html from the pages for that  ;)
