• Generate critical path CSS rules, detect and preload required fonts.
• Add font-display property to @font-face declarations.
• Set crossorigin attribute and compute SRI hashes.
• Manage and efficiently cache multiple configurations at once.
• Apply native lazy loading for img and iframe elements.
• Minify styles, scripts, JSON and HTML content.
• Add defer or async attribute to script tags.
• Handle subresources via cdnjs.com API and download Google Fonts.
• Process meta and link tags with http-equiv and preconnect attributes.
• Output MODX timing tags to browser console for members of Administrator user group.

You can buy this extra on Modstore.

Examples

Most recent jQuery with daily updates from jsdelivr.net:

[[!PageSpeed?
  &lifetime=`86400`
  &script=`async``
  &subresources=`{
    "script" : [
      { "url" : "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js" }
    ]
  }`
]]

Most recent Bootstrap with defer attribute for script subresources and weekly updates from cdnjs.com:

[[!PageSpeed?
  &subresources=`{
    "link": [
      { "name" : "twitter-bootstrap", "filename" : "css/bootstrap.min.css" }
    ],
    "script": [
      { "name" : "jquery" },
      { "name" : "popper.js", "filename" : "umd/popper.min.js" },
      { "name" : "twitter-bootstrap" }
    ]
  }`
]]

Appending custom inline style or script can be done with PHx. Please note, that this will force the creation of new configuration instance, if data differs on page load. Do not use this for third-party code, like Google Analytics:

[[+phx:input=`data:text/css,
  html {
    color : [[+color]];
  }
`:cssToHead]]

[[+phx:input=`data:text/javascript,
  console.log('[[+id]]');
`:jsToHead]]

[[+phx:input=`data:text/javascript,
  if (typeof performance === 'object')
    performance.mark('[[++site_name]]');
`:jsToBottom]]

Notes

Automatic mode can not and will not handle any MODX configuration ever by itself.

Cache can be refreshed manually from Manage / Clear Cache / PageSpeed menu.

For manual configuration you should add them to script section of subresources property.

Animated gif image processing is possible after installing Image Processing (ImageMagick) PHP extension.

Simultaneous execution can be prevented by installing Semaphore, Shared Memory and IPC PHP extension.

This extra uses a PHP CSS Parser and Minify.
