    What’s the best configuration for Autotimize if we’re also running mod_pagespeed on our server?

    That’s pretty much uncharted territory, I would do some trial & error if I were you imtino. Would be very interested in the results too by the way ??

    I pretty much have everything checked but the following:

    Force JavaScript in <head>
    Add try-catch wrapping
    Remove Google Fonts
    Inline and Defer CSS

    And no CDN.

    So I scored pretty good on google pagespeed. But I’ve somewhere that you said that Autoptimize does some of the things that mod pagespeed doing too. So I am thinking if that’s the case then is my server working twice the works?

    I am looking for way to improve my load time now.

    As for pagespeed I am at 100% with my those adsense ads. With adsense it 90-98.

    I did noticed that pagespeed doesn’t effect my load time or well… improve it all that much. It is my VPS? 12gb Ram 2 vCores 2.4 GHz according to pingdom my load time is 2.50-3.50 I see people under 1

    Any advice?

    well, all depends on AO & mod_pagespeed settings obviously … But I think the best way forwards would be to do a detailed comparison;

    1. your site with AO
    2. your site with mod_pagespeed
    3. your site with AO and mod_pagespeed

    using webpagetest.org (with “Number of Tests to Run” set to 5) and comparing time to first byte, time to start render, time till doc complete and time till fully loaded? and throw in google pagespeed insights if you’re into that as well? ??

    Sorry, I think my communication suck. I think I confused you.

    I noticed my “Google pagespeed insight” scored is pretty much prefect. 100% scored for when I take my adsense code off. With adsense code on I get 90-98% for it usually mobile user experience is the highest 98% and even 99%. So it’s good with Google pagespeed insight but even with high scores that these it doesn’t really help the load time.

    So I am trying to figure is it my VPS that is slow? It’s 12gb Ram 2 vCores 2.4 GHz? Is that good enough?

    Pingdom test I am getting around 2.50-3.50 seconds. And I am seeing other people’s websites doing 1 second and some even better.

    So I want to get down to need the 1 second mark.

    I don’t know what I did. I was testing with without mod pagespeed by turning it OFF and ON on the VPS. Basically trying to do:
    “1. your site with AO
    2. your site with mod_pagespeed
    3. your site with AO and mod_pagespeed”

    And now something happen where all my fonts are defaulted and google fonts not working. And even with logged in when I go to the homepage I don’t see the wordpress menu bar at the top. I just don’t get it. I have to figure that out now.

    You think this has anything to do with cache. I was using Hyper Cache with Autoptimize. I have deactivated both and it still donesn’t work. Oh also use Google Webfont Optimizer too. And deactivated it as well. But still no change.

    So I finally got think back in ordered. Well, I think 90% at least. Anyway, I was playing around with this a little more and got an extra boost in load time. I got it to dropped about 1 second. I am pretty consistent under 2 seconds now.

    I think I don’t know how to use Hyper Cache. I have basic setting on it. Anyway, I ended up deactivated it and deleted it. I installed W3 Total Cache and use with Autoptimize and server is running mod pagespeed.

    Tested a page that was consistently at 2.5 seconds to 3.0 and sometimes 3.5 seconds. Now, that exact page is doing under 2 seconds.

    For now, I am ok with it. I am too tired to mess around with this for awhile. These few days are painful but is not helping my website progress. I need to finish this project and stop playing with the server. hehehe

    Thank you Frank, appreciate your work and your willingness to help.
