Nice Module, SEO friendly, we use it on may websites.
Support is bad, since half a year there's a bug that shows expired pages to everyone. There seems to be no more support for this module.

Thanks for your review. I thought I had fixed that bug, but after a more detailed look I found that there was something wrong in the exclude functionality that actually affects more than just expired pages. Sorry for the delay in getting this fixed. You can find the latest in Patches & Hotfixes.
Page caching and HTTP compression work great for getting your site's page responses faster. This module is really a MUST HAVE. Everyone has DNN pages that take long to load... this module helps you limit that. I'd recommend this to anyone!

Very nice module. Easy to use and very skinnable! I was able to create a custom menu easily and quickly. I also made a small modification to my DNN Control Panel and added an drop down list of all the items in the Admin menu. That alone makes this one of the best modules I’ve bought at Snowcovered so far!

Quickly and easily allowed me to set up simple urls for my site.

Found some bugs on the Active Hover Menu and the developer went the extra mile to fix them. Thanks very much!

Not very effective at speeding things up. I ran an asp.net profiler and found this to be the 2nd largest bottleneck on my site behind the scheduler. If your host settings weren't set correctly this would speed things up.

I’m sorry that you were not satisfied with the improvement.
There is usually much better performance improvement in most environments especially with the extra optimizations.
There may have been something else that was “hiding” the improvement you can get.
The DNN scheduler is well known for causing very slow performance.
I would recommend turning off scheduled tasks and restarting the application, then re-enable them one at a time.
I’d be glad to help further if you want to contact me.
This Module works good but by use of other Moduls in the Portal for Example (DMX) must exclude specified sites in the config from Pageblaster that this works!

You can pretty much do everything with this menu control. Furthermore, John offers great support

Pages load much faster

Caching dynamic pages is a tricky subject, and I was apprehensive at first about trying this module. The 2.0 version is just smoking hot, you will not believe the performance difference until you try it. Save your creaky old server from thousands of un-needed DB queries, load the pages from a static cache with Pageblaster!
The developer, John Mitchell, is a core DNN team member and as such is extraordinarily helpful and responsive - listening to new ideas and always there with suggestions if there's a conflict with other modules.
I have a lot of low-level rewrite modules going on at once which made for a bit of web.config trial and error, however I think 95% of typical DNN admins will have no problems whatsoever, it just takes a few minutes and your site spits out pages at lightning speed.
Plus, if you think this version is cool, the grapevine has it that the next version is going to have a feature that will make Pageblaster pretty much the killer app for DNN.
Best value out of thousands of bucks spent on Snowcovered, by far!

Moderately useful, but only if you have a VERY good grasp of CSS and skinning concepts. An "Idiot's Guide" would be very helpful in making this product more appealing.

This editor on first install did not work. The module as supplied needs to be tweaked before I got it to work and only after many visits to the developer site forums. But then it worked fine. The devloper has informed me that the current version for download is free from errors.
