Magento Google PageSpeed Optimization Extension

This extension should help, to fulfill the requirements of the tool Google PageSpeed Insights.

Current features

1. Move all Javascript tags (head & inline) to the bottom. ({stripped_html}{js}</body></html>)
   • including conditional js units (<!--[if lt IE 7]>{multiple js tags}<![endif]-->)
   • including external js tags
   • including "inline" js tags
2. Move all CSS tags (head & inline) to the bottom. ({stripped_html}{css}</body></html>)
   • including conditional css units (<!--[if lt IE 7]>{multiple css tags}<![endif]-->)
   • including external css tags
   • including inline css tags
3. Backend configuration option to exclude specific js tags/units or css tags/units from the move. (regex pattern)

Compatibility

From Magento 1.5.x to Magento 1.9.x .

Backend Configuration

All modules (Pagespeed_Js, Pagespeed_Css) are disabled by default.

Configuration path: System > Configuration > ADVANCED > Pagespeed

How it works ?

Simple parse the final html stream on the event "controller_front_send_response_before".

What about performance/parsing time ?

On our local hardware the html parsing requires a maximum of 4 milliseconds.

Requirements from PageSpeed Insights and planned features

1. Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content (feature 1 & 2)
2. Prioritize visible content (possible with feature 3)

Requirements from PageSpeed Insights which are covered by 3rd party extensions

1. Minify CSS
2. Minify JavaScript
   • Both are covered by Speedster Advanced by Fooman (note: that we have no experience with this extension, but Fooman seems to be a good guy.)
3. Optimize images
   • Image Optimization(note: no experience too.)
4. Minify HTML
   • Based primary on Minify CSS and Minify JavaScript.

Requirements from PageSpeed Insights which are covered by your server admin :)

1. Enable compression
2. Avoid landing page redirects
3. Leverage browser caching
4. Reduce server response time

Goal

Notices

1. There is also a great tool called PageSpeed Module for common webservers like apache and nginx. If you have the opportunity: Use it, but read the manual.
2. Test before use. There are also "great" things like multiple </body> tags, that will crash the party.
3. Front Page Cache: Test it. Look that our event "controller_front_send_response_before" is called before your FPC-Extension starts to observe.
4. If an Javascript use the outdated "document.write", it must be excluded by the regex pattern.
