It's possible to use mod_pagespeed to minify HTML without using a cache.  Use

   ModPagespeedRewriteLevel passthrough

   ModPagespeedEnableFilters=remove_comments,collapse_whitespace,elide_attributes

   ModPagespeedLowercaseHtmlNames on

This will not touch the CSS, JS, or Images, but will aggressively minify HTML.

mod_pagespeed requires its cache to make any optimizations to CSS or JS files including minification.  In theory we could rewrite CSS and JS files on-the-fly without a cache but that would add latency & compute overhead to the server under high QPS -- that's why we designed our system to use a cache.  Although now that I think about it, we do minify *inlined* css and javascript without a cache.  To enable that functionality without caching you can add

   ModPagespeedEnableFilters rewrite_css,rewrite_javascript

   ModPagespeedDisallow *.css

   ModPagespeedDisallow *.js

This will, of course, not minify external css and js files.

Can you explain why you don't want a cache?
