Open Source
We-Amp maintains open-source projects and contributes to third-party infrastructure used across the web performance ecosystem. Our commercial product, ModPageSpeed 2.0, builds directly on this work.
Our projects
Maintained by We-Amp
Projects we actively develop and maintain.
mod_pagespeed & ngx_pagespeed
Originally developed at Google to automatically optimize web pages. We-Amp's founder is an Apache committer and IPMC member for the project, with over 360 pull requests across the codebase. After Google archived the project, We-Amp continued active development as mod_pagespeed 1.1 with ports for nginx, Apache, Envoy, and IIS.
Cyclone Cache
A C++23 cache library built from scratch for ModPageSpeed 2.0. Replaces the legacy cache subsystem with a lock-free design optimized for high-concurrency web servers. Shared between ModPageSpeed 2.0 and mod_pagespeed 1.1.

Contributions to third-party projects
Work contributed upstream to projects in the broader web infrastructure ecosystem. This track record also informs our consulting work.
Envoy Proxy & Nighthawk
We-Amp's founder is the emeritus maintainer of envoyproxy/nighthawk, the L7 performance characterization tool in the Envoy ecosystem — and the project's single largest contributor with over 300 pull requests. He also contributed to Envoy core (security releases, build system, stats registration) and co-presented at EnvoyCon 2019 with Google.
Apache Traffic Server
We-Amp's founder contributed major enhancements to the gzip compression plugin and added FastCGI support for Apache Traffic Server. We-Amp also built ats_pagespeed, a PageSpeed optimization plugin for ATS.
CNCF Service Mesh Performance
Contributor to the Service Mesh Performance (SMP) project at Layer5, part of the CNCF ecosystem. Focused on standardizing service mesh performance benchmarking and characterization.
Commercial
ModPageSpeed 2.0
A complete rewrite of mod_pagespeed in modern C++23, licensed under the Business Source License 1.1. ModPageSpeed 2.0 builds on the open-source foundations above and incorporates optimization libraries from the original mod_pagespeed project.
