Getting PSI into your build process

A sample Gulp project using PSI is available, but this project written for PSI v2. You can fork it and rewrite for PSI v4.

If you use Grunt, grunt-pagespeed is a task by James Cryer that uses PSI v2 under the hood. You can fork it and rewrite to PSI v4 too.

For testing local project, we recommend using ngrok.
