Webmasters, take note: Google just released the latest addition to its Page Speed family: Page Speed Service, which the company says may be able to increase the speed at which your web pages load from 25-60 percent. According to Google’s Webmaster Central Blog, the service grabs content from your servers, rewrites your pages by applying web performance best practices, and serves them to end users via Google’s servers across the globe.
