The impact of detecting the Pagespeed Global Admin panel is primarily informational. It provides insights into the website's performance optimization settings and can help administrators make informed decisions regarding their website's performance.

How does the module work?

The "Pagespeed Global Admin - Detect" module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the "/pagespeed-global-admin/" path. It includes specific headers to simulate a client request. The module then applies matching conditions to determine if the Pagespeed Global Admin panel is present.

The matching conditions for this module are:

- Check if the response headers contain the "X-Mod-Pagespeed" header. - Check if the response status code is 200 (OK).

If both matching conditions are met, the module considers the Pagespeed Global Admin panel to be detected.

Example HTTP request:

GET /pagespeed-global-admin/
Headers:
- X-Host: 127.0.0.1
- X-Client-IP: 127.0.0.1
- X-Remote-IP: 127.0.0.1
- X-Remote-Addr: 127.0.0.1
- X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1
- X-Forwarded-Host: 127.0.0.1
- X-Originating-IP: 127.0.0.1

The module performs these checks to provide information about the presence of the Pagespeed Global Admin panel.
