How to set up PageSpeed ​​Service from Google

As soon as there is an opportunity to accelerate / improve your website I will use it, so the service from Google PageSpeed ​​became the object of my attention in this article. The first thing to do – send a request to participate in the test (of course Google account must already be at this point), you can also submit your application to this address: link


Then after a couple of days if done correctly will receive confirmation by email:

But do not be alarmed if you do not notice a change in your account Google, I for one letter came sooner than was connected PageSpeed ​​option and I had to write a letter to support:

Hi, I received this letter but do not have access to this service, and the letter also does not refer to further instructions, examples of which are shown in the video on your site are also not suitable

At that soon got the answer:

And here I was able to connect service PageSpeed, the links above have the video, but it will duplicate it in this post:


Everything is explained step by step, do not think you have any problems with this, the only nuance – configure DNS and everyone she will pass on its own way, depending on whose service you use. I can not imagine you two examples, one good and the other with a negative result (at least at the time of this writing).

First, what happened to almost instantly: I have a website that is Sloupok.com and served www.domain.com. And if you watched the video on configuring DNS, which is higher then you know how to incrementally adjust the service PageSpeed, in this particular case, you can go directly to the Setup serving domain, because Setup an Origin Host is already set up.
Go to http://www.domain.com/controlpanel/domaincentral/beta/index.bml

and open the settings of the site by clicking on the + sign

the drop-down menu select the DNS tab and then in the «Modify» choose CNAME Alias, Click «Add» and enter the values ​​that gave you by Google specifically for your account. I got the following output:

2013-07-30_13-31-26

Wait a few minutes and the service is set to PageSpeed ​​«Enabled» by email and received a letter of congratulations:

Run the test to be seen clearly for what has been done all this work:

Now to the bad example, it’s nas.myftp.org which is located on a free hosting of www.noip.com and he is only responsible for the redirect dns while all of the content is located on the NAS server from Synology. This was done because the site is a very large number of photos and pay for hosting will be expensive. And when I wanted to speed up the site using PageSpeed ​​then faced with the problem of setting DNS. First noip.com does not give access to the settings panel for a free account type, which have up to this point quite satisfied, and optional No-IP Enhanced costs 15 dollars is not too much I thought and paid. With access to my DNS settings “pleased” that in order to configure DNS TXT Record to connect Plus Managed DNS for $ 25., For what I paid just did not affect the ability to access the necessary options to me, okay if necessary to speed up your site, and this amount is not a problem, but when the payment was made it was found that my account was not improved, and has been created in parallel with another account in exactly the same domain name, which is why it is not tied to noip.com!

What to do in this case? I recommend to send an urgent request to the support and if you do not get a response the next day that require a refund. For example, I was already a similar situation when I paid services but did not get something for that money made​​, and if the payment was made via PayPal – create a claim for a refund, all return but will take time.
