Google Page Speed Service

Somewhere out there is a lawyer observing that people are chatting on their Google phones while booting up their Google browsers on their Google netbooks to do their Google searches leading into Google servers hosting Google properties and non-Google properties and wondering "Why the heck am I drafting anti-trust apologias? For heaven's sake, we are but a humble operating systems and office productivity company."

This does look awfully like CloudFlare. Some more competition in that space should be good for everyone because it seems like an idea whose time has come.

I hope this will prove to be a good quick-and-dirty way to add SPDY support to existing web services (which I expect will in turn help drive users to Chrome.)

Unfortunately, it's looking hard to test as webpagetest.org is going to be hit with long queues for a while...
