There's lot of problems I discovered with pagespeed which made me pretty much abandon it entirely except for the webp conversion part and even that I am considering just doing it in the application layer directly. It seems this project was given to the Apache foundation to be its "grave". 1. the image resizing feature doesn't consider aspect ratio (the resize to rendered dimensions filter). 2. the css inlining doesn't work at all if you use any advanced css features (variables, keyframes), the css parser is outdated. 3. it doesn't do anything with csp except ignore some filters when you set honor csp on. it can't even read the current nonce from http header and apply it on inline scripts it writes. and to make things worse, the inline script it writes contains an ever changing embedded part (server generated nonce), so you can't even try to work around this by using unsafe-hashes and hashing the content of the inline script yourself. About the only useful feature it has right now maybe to recompress images to be more efficient and resize images to tag specified width and length and conversion to webp. That's it in my opinion. I tried to modify / fork it but the build system is complex, and the projects are not isolated, you are forced to compile an apache and an nginx and both modules and even chromium just to build it, and the scripts are already broken on newer distros. I gave up on trying, and just implemented some of those features in my own apps by hand. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
