A lot of people looking to download the Page Speed Optimization Library from google for installing nginx_pagespeed. But there is no public download url available from google. But it is easy to download the page speed optimization library as follows.

You may download the latest stable version of nginx_page speed from https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/releases . At this time the latest stable version is v1.12.34.3-stable

# cd /usr/local/src
# wget -c https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/archive/v1.12.34.3-stable.tar.gz
# tar -xzf v1.12.34.3-stable.tar.gz
# cd ngx_pagespeed-1.12.34.3-stable/

Now find the psol download url as follows,

# scripts/format_binary_url.sh PSOL_BINARY_URL
https://dl.google.com/dl/page-speed/psol/1.12.34.2-x64.tar.gz

This is the psol source url of the downloaded page_speed module . Now download this file and extract it

# wget https://dl.google.com/dl/page-speed/psol/1.12.34.2-x64.tar.gz
# tar -xzf 1.12.34.2-x64.tar.gz

You can see a directory named “psol” in the current directory .

Next is download and install nginx with google nginx_pagespeed<?pre>

# cd /usr/local/src
# wget -c http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.12.2.tar.gz
# tar -xzf nginx-1.12.2.tar.gz
# cd nginx-1.12.2
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nginx --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_v2_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_flv_module --with-http_mp4_module --with-ipv6 --with-http_stub_status_module --add-module=/usr/local/src/ngx_pagespeed-1.12.34.3-stable/

SSH key is a secure authentication method of openssh server. Let us install ssh key easily between two server.

Source Server:This is the server from which I need to connect.
Destination Server: This is the server into which I am going to connect.
Let us create ssh key for the root user in source server for accessing a backup user in destination server.

Create key in Source Server:

Do the following command as root

# ssh-keygen -t rsa

Now hit Enter key until you see the shell prompt again
So now we have two keys private and public in /root/.ssh . We only need the public key

Copy public key to Destination server:

Copy the content of public key,/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, from source server to the destination server into the files file ( /home/backupuser/.ssh/authorized_keys . This is for ssh user “backupuser”.
Testing:
Now try ssh from the Source server to destination server as follows,

# ssh  backupuser@destinationserver

If you are in without password , then the ssh-key configuration is success. If not, your ssh key is not working, check the error logs in /var/log/secure
