    I was thinking to use Google PSS for my website, filled the form and got invitation to try it.

    the problem is PSS doesn't support bare domains and want www with the domains. My site doesn't use www and redirects www users to bare domain and maximum backlinks of my site is running on bare direct domain_com. If i start using www do you think my site's SEO will be affected? Also is PSS a good thing to use or its okay if I use W3TC and Cloudflare?

    Suggest what should I do ?

    You can read here more to know what I mean
    https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/service/faq#wwwredirect

    This thread can also be in Site & Server Administration. However I have heard PSS helps in SEO, so need to know.

    Thanks

    it really doesnt' matter

    just make sure www is a permanent redirect and not a temperary

    you mean the way google pss has provided here https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/service/faq#wwwredirect ?

    is the pagerank of www . site . com different than just a bare domain?

    also if i redirect bare domain to www , will it affect seo ?

    thanks

    it depends on the type of redirect you do, if its a 302 direct ( permanent move) the pr will move to it
    if its a 301 - temporary move, then pr wont' flow to it.

    for google ,each url is differnet ,www and non www.

    Just to realize PageSpeed Service could be ideal for inefficient static pages running on slow servers. It may be more cost-effective than spending money on further development or hosting.
    Unfortunately, bare domains are not supported in PageSpeed Service, i.e. you must use www.domain.com rather than domain.com.

    "Also is PSS a good thing to use or its okay if I use W3TC and Cloudflare?"

    You're probably going to have a conflict at some point using multiple caching/performance features on top of one another, just so you know (W3TC, CloudFlare & Pagespeed).

    try an alternative speed tester ,like pingdom for example.
    I think you should type in your site the way the user would type it in. That would make sense.
