Annoying that Google lets down my score :)

I'm using Pagespeed in Nginx, and it is mostly working brilliantly.

However - it is annoying to take the pagespeed insights test and get a bunch of 'should fix' warnings for google resources.

the internetdefenseleague isn't google's problem, but I think all the other ones are.

I'm using

-google analytics

-google site search

-google translate widget

I'm somewhat surprised that async-ads.js is called at all - I would expect that to appear only in the results page for a search (a new page)

I'm sure that in the grand scheme of things, none of these really matter - but it would be nice to see Google setting an example.

cheers,

Rob

Leverage browser caching Setting an expiry date or a maximum age in the HTTP headers for static resources instructs the browser to load previously downloaded resources from local disk rather than over the network. Leverage browser caching for the following cacheable resources:https://members.internetdefenseleague.org/include/?url=&campaign=&variant=banner (30 minutes) http://www.google.com/adsense/search/async-ads.js (60 minutes) http://www.google.com/…callback%22%3A%22__gcse.sacb%22%7D%5D%7D (60 minutes) http://www.google.com/…%2Fcse%2Fstyle%2Flook%2Fv2%2Fdefault.css (60 minutes) https://translate.googleapis.com/…ranslate_static/css/translateelement.css (60 minutes) https://translate.googleapis.com/…ate_static/js/element/26/element_main.js (60 minutes) https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_static/js/element/main.js (60 minutes) http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js (2 hours) Hide details Prioritize visible content Show how to fix Optimize images Properly formatting and compressing images can save many bytes of data.

If you share a link to your site I can try to figure out how
async-ads.js is getting loaded.

For the others, each 3rd party thing you put on your website should
have a single shorter cache-lifetime resource that then loads a bunch
of very long cache lifetime resources. It looks like Google Analytics
is doing this, but Google Translate and Site Search are loading
multiple resources each. I'll file bugs with them. Thanks!

Testing Site Search with http://www.jefftk.com/cse-test?PageSpeed=off
I've verified that it does load async-ads.js by default. I'm filing a
bug for that as well.

Hi Jeff,

my site is http://hobbyistsoftware.com

any comment on compressing/minifying the google content? That seems like a trivial fix.

thanks.

The amount that the various google resources could be compressed is large in %-terms, but still very small in absolute terms. It's big enough that Google should fix it and I'll file bugs, but it's not something that's likely to have much of an effect on your page loading speed.

yes - I understand that this isn't a big deal in reality.

It's just annoying to see Google's pagespeed test 'failing' my site for easily fixable google issues.

My web site is getting 97% and it could get 100% if google fixes their own pagespeed issues:

You have:

http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js (60 minutes)

https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/osd.js (60 minutes)

http://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js (2 hours)

Both adsbygoogle.js and analytics.js are directly referenced in your html, which means that if Google used a longer cache lifetime it would be harder to fix things if they broke. For the teams that handle these there's a tradeoff between efficiency and safety, and I've talked to them about this and they think their current cache lifetimes are a good compromise.

On the other hand, osd.js is loaded by adsbygoogle.js [1] so I don't see why we can't longcache it. I'll file a bug.
