vbulletin and google page speed service

[toon79]

Has anyone been successful in getting Google's page speed service working with vbulletin 4?

I've tried everything and people can't even register on the site, Admin and Mod CP log you out and Moderate by IP doesn't work as it's feeding google's IP's into the pages?

There is a couple of people that mention they have tried it here - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=231873&page=2

Thanks Z3r0 couldn't seem to find much in the search

Let us know how you get on with it, I've been meaning to test out pagespeed since they gave me an invite last year but due to the lack of information of vbulletin sites using it I've not touched it yet.

Can't seem to get it to work. It just reads google's IP address for every user. It's playing with my IP spam control settings also. Not sure what to do apart from not use it. On a plus note the forum is lightening fast.

Did you install the Proxy to Real IP Conversion mod and do the edits that Cybex made after having the same IP problem here? - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=182

I did that yes and still getting the same issue as Cybex

Also when I made the edit beneath that post the forum stopped working all together

It didn't work because I pasted over the wrong part. Think this might have worked. Thanks so much for taking time out to help me. I'll let you know how I get on.

I'd be interested in seeing how this is going.

I'd also be interested to hear the latest.
I remember a little while back I tested it on vBulletin but the only thing I remember was it seemed to totally screw up Google Analytics, which I kind of find humerous. You'd think they would play well together but they didn't.

Everytime Pagespeed would serve a page (maybe for the first time I'm not sure) it would show upwards of 15 plus connections on the same file. I only had it running for a short time (about 6 hours) because I did not see much improvement in speed at all, actually a degradation in most cases. I do remember there being a few quirks with it also but for the life of me I can't remember exactly what they were. I do know at the time it caused of few pages of vbulletin not to render at all especially when being served for the first time but I didn't try and diagnose the issues at the time since it was an active site I was testing on. At the time most of the pages that were rendering were actually taking longer to load then without Pagespeed.

I personally use x-cache on my server which works great with vB. I would be willing to try Pagespeed again if I could hear some more feedback.

From what little experience I had with it, I think if you don't have an overloaded or underpowered server already your benefits with Pagespeed on a vB site will be negligible.

I hope to hear/see someone prove me wrong though!

Okay, I have fairly conclusive data to report and will get more in-depth when I can.

Tested on a dead forum first and the site went from noticeable latency to like I was pulling from my hard drive. Did the edits in this download. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201211

At midnight last night switch DNS from Cloudflare to Google Page Speed on a massive, busy forum (1200 simultaneous users). Intended to test overnight but DNS propagation is taking over 11 hours now and is finally starting to reflect that we're on Google's servers. A scattering of members are initially reporting oddities and being logged out but no major outcry.

I will report back. I recommend you do the Page Speed test and decide from there.
