The Mod_PageSpeed module is available on all our web hosting accounts, but it is turned off by default to ensure that it doesn't inadvertently disrupt your website. Activating it is a straightforward process, requiring only a couple of lines to be added to your .htaccess file.
You can read how to How to Edit .htaccess File via the cPanel Filemanager? and you will just need to add the following to activate PageSpeed
<IfModule pagespeed_module>
ModPagespeed on
</IfModule>
The .htaccess file can be used to control most of the directives in mod_pagespeed. You can see a list of available directives here: Directives that can be used with .htaccess and <Directory> scope
