Hi Esaky,
The Google PageSpeed Service (as distinct from other Gogole PageSpeed Tools) is in free beta right now:
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/service
It's a Front End Optimization (FEO) service which is a bit different from a CDN. A CDN tries to make your page faster by putting the static files (particularly the big media files) closer to the user.
Front End Optimization Services do a lot of optimizations to your site, that are things you could do yourself but in practice turn out to be difficult for many of us to keep implemented These are things like: minification of your html and CSS, consolidation of your images into sprites, compression and optimization of your media files.
As it turns out, CDN's only speed up your site some of the time, while front end optimization will always help (unless your site is already perfectly optimized). The downside with google is you have to sign up, get invited, and then you don't have any service level agreement, etc.. since it's a free service. So it may not be your best option for a commercial site just yet.
CloudFlare is an inexpensive service (with a free option) that has some CDN and Front End Optimization features. Torbit and Strangeloop are two good commercial services that offer front end optimization. Blaze is a front-end optimization service that was acquired by Akamai, so you can now buy CDN and FEO from Akamai (although their basic CDN service does not include FEO).

I believe google page service is still in beta and on an approval-only basis. Looks useful and I've seen claims that it's shaved 1-2 secs of load times.

Why would DA and Home Page PA divurge
I track home page Page Authority and Domain Authority. Normally they move in a similar fashion. However for at least one client I see them moving in markedly opposite directions. One client has seen their Home page PA increase from 29 to 33 ov er the past year or so while their DA is dropped from 22 to 16. Potentially related are odd trends in home page inbound link counts and linking domains. Moz reported 241 inbound link to the home page last December, and 324 now. For the months April through July, however, Moz reported link counts between 1150 and 1350. Linking domains improved from 120 last December to 324 now. I of course recognize that raw counts of links and linking domains need to be tempered with quality considerations. But still, I'm finding is puzzling and wondering if anyone has any thoughts about why the Page Authority and Domain Authority would be diverging.. B8W2wuB

Is it possible to exclude pages from Crawl Diagnostic?
I like the crawl diagnostic but it shows many errors due to a forum that I have. I don't care about the SEO value of this forum and would like to exclude any pages in the /forum/ directory. Is it possible to add exclusions to the crawl diagnostic tool?

Twitter Page Authority Score?
I've been doing some competitive research in Open Site Explorer and many of our competitors have Twitter accounts very similar to ours. Their Twitter pages are usually one of the pages with linking to their website with the most Page Authority. The incoming links from Twitter are a "no follow" as you would guess. This has been the case for a large number of well ranking sites I have looked at. www.dremed.com also has a Twitter account at: https://twitter.com/#!/DREmed . However, Open Site Explorer does not list the Twitter link as an incoming link at all ( or if it does it has no Page Authority ). The Twitter account page seems very similar in nature to other competing Twitter pages. I'm not sure why it does not ALSO pull a high Page Authority score??? Do you know why this might be? Best, Justin

On-Page Summary (Report Cards) automation?
Hi everyone, Under the "On-Page" tab which shows your report cards, is there a way of getting it to grade your entire site? One of my site's is only ~20 pages so it's no big deal to manually enter each URL and set each one to update weekly. But what if I have a site that has ~1,000 pages and I want to optimise each and every page for my main keyword using the report cards feature? Thanks in advance! 🙂 Ash
