After 4.5 years of development, Google announced on May 5 that it will be discontinuing PageSpeed -- an optimizing proxy that aimed at improving website performance.

Google has alerted users of its PageSpeed Service for making websites zippier that it will be killing off the tools as of Aug. 3. The company, which this week introduced a new offering called Cloud Bigtable for storing large amounts of data online, apparently has bigger things to worry about these days.

If you are using PageSpeed Service, you must change your DNS before 3rd August 2015 or your site(s) will become completely unavailable on that date, Google stated in their announcement.

Google recommended several alternatives including mod_pagespeed -- an Apache module.

    Well, I added the comment about they might have open-sourced it.. Sorry I didn't fully understand that was what they basically did. I removed my comment from the article.
