Hi,

I’m on a cPanel VDS with 13 Joomla sites (ranging from 1.5 to 3.6.x) which use T3 templates. I recently installed mod_pagespeed and trying to optimize it per website. It really made a performance boost, but I needed to finetune it as some "more risky" options break the site JS or CSS.

My questions is: What is the best setup to use mod_pagespeed on Joomla / T3 system?

Joomla cache on/off
Module caches?
T3 development mode on/off?
T3 optimize CSS and/or JS on/off?

Any input is much appreciated…

Hi

There is a blog post HERE about this argument , nothing better than this can explain how to set T3 for better performances

Yes, I know that post and plenty of others. The websites are already optimized in every aspect. I didn’t like the performance so I moved to a powerful VDS server. But the change was not dramatic. So I searched for solutions.

Now, there is a new kid in my town 🙂 Google’s mod_pagespeed:

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/

None of the optimizations so far could be so successful (after obvious serverside non-php gzip, cache etc).

What I’m wondering and asking is: Do the developers have any insight on mod_pagespeed / Joomla / T3 combined use. Best use, performance gain, problem areas etc…

Hi

Each website is different from others – there isn’t a standard procedure to optimize performances, except the one i posted above, after you set everything as explained in that guide then website should be analyzed and each problem should be solved as standalone , many aspects are involved in it like hosting configuration, php versions, images sizes and compressions, javascript analysis and optimizations.

Hope this answer clarified your doubts.
