With one small change when installing the SSL certificate. The guide did not work. I had to change the command to the following:

sudo certbot --authenticator webroot --installer apache -m [email protected] -d w.jphe.in

3. Install pagespeed using this guide:

First, go to the PageSpeed download page and choose the file you need. We’re using a 64-bit Ubuntu server and we’ll install the latest stable version. Download it using wget:

wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/linux/direct/mod-pagespeed-stable_current_amd64.deb

Then, install it with the following commands:

dpkg -i mod-pagespeed-stable_current_amd64.deb 
apt-get -f install

Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

systemctl restart apache2
