Google's Automatic PageSpeed optimization module for Nginx
I would love to be able to enable the ngxpagespeed optimization module. More info about the module can be found here: https://github.com/pagespeed/ngxpagespeed
This module automatically optimizes the points on which Google bases its PageSpeed score.

Pagespeed would further complicate the webserver stack which already contains multiple levels (of caching) and in our lab tests the performance benefit was negligible. If you have other benchmark results, please share them with us at support@byte.nl!

I definitely would not complicate nginx configuration and maintenance for this end of pipe solution, 90% of which you could run in Test environment, catch the output and commit to repository.
For image optimization alone there are various SAAS solutions and tools available. The 10% you can't catch is the device-specific optimization it does once it has detected the client platform. This is also the least working part of the code.
