Hi,

I recently removed pagespeed as requested by Google following their step by step instructions: I stopped pagespeed service and I redirected the domain (DNS) from the pagespeed app to website app. But I noticed that there hasn't been any change and the site still has been served with pagespeed optimization. After a few days, I deleted the app with the pagespeed running, the one I used to serve the domain before. I waited a few days until the pagespeed app went off in my admin. But the site continues being served with pagespeed optimization.

I don't know exactly what's going on but I have the impression that the app running pagespeed optimization is still running in the back and that any incoming request is still processed through the pagespeed app but I have no control on it as I have deleted the app. Can anyone assist me with this?

How do I get the pagespeed optimization to stop so that no optimized files are served anymore?

The website with this issue:

Thanks.

Hi, 

This is just a sanity check (not that familiar with pagespeed), but how did you turn it off? You say you followed our instructions, but the docs are long and suggest more than one way to do this.

Cheers!

Hello Patrice,

The instructions have been linked in this message:

Dear PageSpeed Service User,

In two weeks the following site(s) will go down unless you point your DNS away from PageSpeed Service: 
www.discoverymexico.com and www.discoverymexico.com.mx

PageSpeed Service has been deprecated and will be turned off on 3rd August 2015. You must change your DNS to point away from the service by this time, or the sites listed above will cease to function. We have created a migration page that includes assistance for changing DNS as well as information on other ways PageSpeed can be employed on your site. Please see https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/service/Deprecation.

The PageSpeed team.

My problem is the following:
I had a app running the pagespeed service. DNS pointing to that service. Original site was served by a dedicated server with another provider. I built the original site as google app (discoverymexicocom.appspot.com). I redirected pagespeed app to the new app. So far everything worked fine. discoverymexicocom.appspot.com was serving to the the pagespeed running app which served to the public.

I then got the request to stop using pagespeed service. So, I modified pagespeed app not to serve the domain name www.discoverymexico.com anymore but added customized domain to discoverymexicocom.appspot.com to serve requests to www.discoverymexico.com. I double checked this migration by looking how the pages are served and noticed that the pagespeed optimization continued. So, I then went to switch off the pagespeed service of the pagespeed app using the old admin, double checked, no change and then I deleted the original pagespeed app, double checked no change. 

My current interpretation is that on the back, the original pagespeed app is still running and still responds to requests to www.discoverymexico.com. But, I don't have control over it anymore as the instance went away from my admin (old and new).

I may add that I also use Google DNS.

Currently, I am a bit lost how to proceed. I would like that www.discoverymexico.com is serviced without pagespeed optimization as my other site which is www.ploring.com. 

Your help will be appreciated
Thanks
Karl-Heinz

Hey again Karl!

Thank you for this, I was unaware of that email, so this definitely helps.

I can see in different pages that this can take up to your TTL to propagate properly and fully. When exactly did you remove pagespeed? Are you sure it's longer than your TTL? 

If this isn't the reason for your issue, unfortunately there is not much more I can provide here. I did find that page that suggests sending an email to "pss-s...@google.com". If this doesn't prove fruitful, the google groups for pagespeed is here.

I wish you good luck with thisturndown.

Cheers!

Hi again

I was just closing my tabs on the PageSpeed service and I found this page out. Seems that if you're using the PageSpeed Optimization Service (which was the App Engine version of the PageSpeed service), maybe these instructions relate better to your issue.

Cheers!

Thanks Patrice,

I changed DNS before 3rd of August, so propagation should have completed fully by now ;). I will follow up the resources you provided. Oooh. Second resource is it. Thank you.

Saludos
