About We-Amp

We-Amp B.V. is a Dutch software company focused on web performance infrastructure. We develop web optimization software that runs on your servers. No proxies. No CDN dependencies. No JavaScript overhead.

Background

We-Amp was founded by Otto van der Schaaf, a former maintainer of Google's mod_pagespeed — an open-source module that automatically optimized web pages for billions of users. When Google transferred the project to the Apache Software Foundation, where it was eventually archived, Otto continued the work independently — first through IISpeed (a Windows/IIS port), then through a complete rewrite that became ModPageSpeed 2.0.

Today, We-Amp develops and maintains ModPageSpeed 2.0, a modern C++23 rewrite with a new cache engine (Cyclone), multi-server support, and the same zero-configuration approach to optimization that mod_pagespeed established.

What we do

  • Develop ModPageSpeed 2.0 — automatic web optimization for nginx, Apache, Envoy, and IIS
  • Maintain the mod_pagespeed open-source codebase (version 1.1)
  • Provide commercial support and licensing for organizations running ModPageSpeed in production
  • Develop ASP.NET Core middleware — the same PageSpeed engine as a NuGet package for .NET
