I was able to successfully add ngx_pagespeed to my Nginx server. It works - for example I can see it is automatically converting my .jpg images to .webp.
However, I’m not able to edit any options. When I try to run something like pagespeed rewrite_images on, or even pagespeed on, I get an error pagespeed: command not found.
Per documentation pagespeed should be the command for Nginx: https://modpagespeed.com/doc/configuration
Any tips?

Problem was that for some reason I thought pagespeed flags were turned on/off via terminal commands.
It actually needs to be done as Nginx directives, added to nginx.conf file and restart the Nginx server afterwards. Everything works.
@ageorgiev I’m not getting the expected result.
For
whereis pagespeed:pagespeed:For
which pagespeed, : no response at allWhat should I do? I know it does work because if I run
curl -I -p http://localhost| grep X-Page-Speed, I get the expected header in the response:X-Page-Speed: 1.13.35.2-0It is worth mentioning that digitalocean’s tutorial did not work for me. There were errors when I was running
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b, it was failing on signing the buildfile.Instead I did an automated install per this: https://www.modpagespeed.com/doc/build_ngx_pagespeed_from_source
Hello, @geochanto
What happens when you call the command with the full path? You can first check where is the binary file by using:
or
and then call the pagespeed with the full path, it should be in /usr/bin/pagespeed
Let me know how it goes.
