All these: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/mod_pagespeed/filte... So image optimization, css and js minification, cache extension, css combining, image spriting, ...

Wow. Thanks for bringing the service to my attention! Cut the load times on my sites by a ton.

You can see the complete list of filters (40+) here: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/mod_pagespeed/confi...

Note that docs above are for mod_pagespeed (Apache), but all of the same filters are available in nginx port as well - it's the same C++ code under the hood. In a nutshell: HTML, CSS, JS, and image optimization (resizing, recompression, WebP, auto-spriting, etc...)

Thank you that's more helpful. Looks like a great tool

Jeremy, image optimization/compression, javascript minification/combination etc are some of the benefits we've tested and had tremendous success with.
