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

How can I prevent errors of duplicate page content generated by my tags from my wordpress on-site blog platform?
When I add meta data and a canonical reference to my blog tags for my on-site blog which works using a wordpress.org template, Roger generates errors of duplicate content. How can I avoid this problem? I want to use up to 5 tags per post, with the same canonical reference and each campaign scan generates errors/warnings for me!

Rankings in Google UK
Hi there, Can someone explain the difference between the results in Google UK - the default is 'The Web', whereas I can opt to choose 'Pages from the UK'. My question is: If I'm tracking rankings for Google United Kingdom in SEOMoz, is it tracking the results from 'Pages from the UK' or the default setting of 'The Web'? Are there any statistics on how many people choose to see 'Pages from the UK'? Thanks

Duplicate page error from SEOmoz
SEOmoz's Crawl Diagnostics is complaining about a duplicate page error. I'm trying to use a rel=canonical but maybe I'm not doing it right. This page is the original, definitive version of the content: https://www.borntosell.com/covered-call-newsletter/sent-2011-10-01 This page is an alias that points to it (each month the alias is changed to point to the then current issue): https://www.borntosell.com/covered-call-newsletter/latest-issue The alias page above contains this tag (which is also updated each month when a new issue comes out) in the section: Is that not correct? Is the https (vs http) messing something up? Thanks!

HTTP 404 for 404-page?
Hi Mozzers! SEOmoz just finished crawling one of my websites and this crawl found 3 errors. One of these errors was the (custom) 404-page, because of the http-status 404. What's you suggestion about this? Should a 404-page have a status 404? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
