PageSpeed is an open-source web server module developed by Google for Apache. The module's purpose is to optimise performance by improving website load speeds through dynamic performance optimisations without modifying the website's source code.

You can review and configure the different optimisation presets by navigating to the Web Optimisation option under the CDN section of your hosting package.

You can disable PageSpeed by disabling all of the optimisation presets from the Web Optimisation section. This may be useful if the module is causing any conflicts with your website. If you are looking to disable Mod_PageSpeed for a specific URL to further debug, you can add the following query string to the end of the URL, as such https://example.com/?ModPagespeed=off. This will disable Mod_PageSpeed for the URL, whilst keeping the module enabled for the rest of the website.
