Therefore, I decided to set it up on my new site.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>My first impression is that I am quite amazed at the free service as the loading speed has been decreased dramatically. I used the Pingdom Tools to measure the speed before and after launching Google Page Speed Service and here is the result:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Before: the loading time is 5.8s<\/li>\n<li>After: the loading time is 2.3s<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By using this service, Google will fetch your content, optimize and speed up your pages and then send them back to your readers. There is a notice that the service won&#8217;t work on bare domains such as discountedcoupon.net. So you must add the missing www prefix so that it could be supported by Page Speed Service.<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a title=\"Best CDN Services for WordPress\" href=\"http:\/\/techwalls.com\/blogging\/best-cdn-services-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Best CDN services for WordPress<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s take a look at the detailed instructions on how to set up Google Page Speed CDN service for your website. Check out the new video guide by Google.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Add Domain<\/h2>\n<p>After being approved for trying the service, you will see there is the new tab <strong>Page Speed Service<\/strong> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/code.google.com\/apis\/console\/b\/0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Google APIs Console<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-287\" title=\"page-speed-service\" alt=\"page-speed-service\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/page-speed-service.png\" width=\"197\" height=\"153\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Go to the new tab and add your domain to the textbox <strong>Serving Domain<\/strong>. Remember it must include the prefix <em>www.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-288\" title=\"page-speed-service-domain\" alt=\"page-speed-service-domain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/page-speed-service-domain.png\" width=\"613\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/page-speed-service-domain.png 613w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/page-speed-service-domain-300x114.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then, it will require you to verify your domain&#8217;s ownership. What you need to do is adding a DNS record in your hosting provider or domain registrar.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-289\" title=\"page-speed-service-verify\" alt=\"page-speed-service-verify\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/page-speed-service-verify.png\" width=\"549\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/page-speed-service-verify.png 549w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/page-speed-service-verify-300x159.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I am using <strong>HostGator<\/strong>, so I go to <strong>Advanced DNS Zone Editor<\/strong> to add the DNS record. It will take you a few minutes for DNS settings to propagate through the Internet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-290\" title=\"dns-txt-hostgator\" alt=\"dns-txt-hostgator\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/dns-txt-hostgator.png\" width=\"242\" height=\"158\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>2. Setup Reference Domain<\/h2>\n<p>The next step is setting up reference domain, this will look up the IP address to fetch the original website&#8217;s content. So, you need to point the reference domain to your hosting IP address. It is simply done by setting a new DNS entry (A-record) for <strong>ref.discountedcoupon.net<\/strong> pointing to the IP address of your server (the same IP address that discountedcoupon.net is pointing to). It will take some time for the propagation completed globally, you can check it out at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whatsmydns.net\/#CNAME\/www.discountedcoupon.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.whatsmydns.net\/#CNAME\/www.discountedcoupon.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-291\" title=\"reference-domain\" alt=\"reference-domain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/reference-domain.png\" width=\"267\" height=\"159\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fill in the textbox reference domain with <strong>ref.discountedcoupon.net<\/strong> and continue to the next step.<\/p>\n<h2>3. CNAME Site<\/h2>\n<p>In this step, you just need to go to your DNS provider&#8217;s administration console to add a new CNAME record. If a CNAME entry for www.discountedcoupon.net already exists, set its value to <strong>ghs.google.com<\/strong>. Otherwise, create a new CNAME record and with the value <strong>ghs.google.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-292\" title=\"cname-site\" alt=\"cname-site\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/cname-site.png\" width=\"252\" height=\"116\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All done, now you can go to Dashboard to see live traffic status. It will show <strong>Requests<\/strong>, <strong>Errors<\/strong> and <strong>Average HTML Page Load Time<\/strong> for you to watch. That&#8217;s great to see the performance of this website being improved. If Google charge the service for an affordable price, I will not hesitate to use it for my blogs.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Have you tried Google Page Speed on your site and what do you think about its performance?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Page Speed, the new CDN service for webmasters, was announced last week and this has been much anticipated because it is provided by Google.
