: Restrict mod_pagespeed to specific domains on a server If a server hosts the following domains:- http://exampleA.com http://exampleB.com http://exampleC.com How is it possible to enable mod_pagespeed

@Sims2060225

If you can use .htaccess files you can simply set ModPagespeed off in the httpd.conf and then do this in the root .htaccess for any domain you want it enabled on:

<IfModule pagespeed_module>

ModPagespeed on

</IfModule>


If you are using Apache 2.4+ you can even use the <If> directive for cases where the same .htaccess file is used for multiple domains, or for example if you have the .htaccess in a Git repository and you use the same one for the production and development sites but want ModPagespeed on only for the production site:

<IfModule pagespeed_module>

<If "req('Host') == 'www.example.com'">
ModPagespeed on
</If>
<Else>
ModPagespeed off
</Else>

</IfModule>

After a little digging and playing around with this, I've managed to figure it out and now have a working scenario for mod_pagespeed to only work on specific domains (vhosts) on the same server.

My configuration is based on a CentOs 6 build Apache 2 that runs Parallels Plesk Panel.

Create a separate pagespeed conf file and store it in a location that won't be a) automatically overwrote or b) automatically loaded (i.e in the existing conf or conf.d directories). In my instance, I created /etc/httpd/myconf and named the file vhosts-pagespeed.conf.

This configuration file will contain themod_pagespeed configuration you wish specific domains to use (you can create as many of these as you like). For example, mine is like:-
#https ://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/configuration#virtual-hosts

<IfModule pagespeed_module>
ModPagespeed on
AddOutputFilterByType MOD_PAGESPEED_OUTPUT_FILTER text/html
ModPagespeedFileCachePath "/var/cache/mod_pagespeed/"

You'll then need to disable the global mod_pagespeed and only include the vhost specific pagespeed config on those domains which you wish to enable mod_pagespeed.

Navigate to /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf and create the file vhost.conf with the include (this is all this file needs to contain):-

Include /etc/httpd/myconf/vhosts-pagespeed.conf


Disable global /etc/httpd/conf.d/pagespeed.conf by modifying like so:-

ModPagespeed off


Then restart the server:-

service httpd restart


Now check that mod_pagespeed is enabled on the domain.com that you extended the vhost to include the custom pagespeed conf.

If that doesn't work, you may find you need to reconfigure the vhost for domain.com with something like:-

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=domain.com
