Step 1.

At first you need to access SSH as root user.

cd /usr/local/src

Step 3.

Now you need to create a directory called pagespeed and enter into the directory using the following commands,

Step 4.

After that you need to download the RPM for building up pagespeed. Here the most important thing is, the RPM that you are going to download should match the architecture of your Operating system.

To find the architecture of your operating system, you can use the command,

uname -i

After that download mod_pagespeed RPM from the link below,

wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/linux/direct/mod-pagespeed-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

rpm2cpio mod-pagespeed-stable_current_x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv

Step 5.

Now, copy the so file “pagespeed.so” to the apache modules directory,

cp usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_pagespeed.so /usr/local/apache/modules/

Step 6.

Next, change the permissions for mod_pagespeed.so file,

chmod 755 /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_pagespeed.so

mkdir -p /var/mod_pagespeed/{cache,files}

chown nobody.nobody /var/mod_pagespeed/*

vi /usr/local/apache/conf/pagespeed.conf 

LoadModule pagespeed_module /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_pagespeed.so
