with mod_pagespeed how do I drop some of the file name?

Issue with Images plugin.

I have to admit, I wish I had known that development had stopped two years ago on this script. However, here is the issue I've run into.

I use mod_pagespeed to optimize my web sites, and get that "Grade A" everyone is looking for. The trouble is mod_pagespeed renames the files so when I look at the xml file I have (bold chars are those added by mod_pagespeed) :-

  <url>
       <loc>[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]</loc>
       <lastmod>2020-10-14T23:07:03+00:00</lastmod>
       <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
       <priority>0.6400</priority>
       <image:image>
         <image:loc>[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]xThe_Tribal_Shoot-07-12-2015-188-me.jpg.pagespeed.ic.P8ci0xcDUi.jpg</image:loc>
         <image:caption>The_Tribal_Shoot-07-12-2015-188.jpg</image:caption>
       </image:image>
 </url>

Is there any way to stop this being added to the xml file?

The real name of the file "The_Tribal_Shoot-07-12-2015-188.jpg" will not change, but that is not guaranteed with the mod_pagespeed modified file name, it will change next time the file is re-optimized.

Any help would be gratefully received. Many Thanks, Stay Safe, Nigel Aves.

"you can add "pagespeed" in the Exclude URLs setting." >> I did try that but then I get no images at all!  :-\ in the sitemap.

The problem is that the php script is "following the link", and mod_pagespeed is serving up the modified / compressed image name.

Do you know of a way of forcing the php script to only use the "IMG SRC" image name, that's all I need to fix the issue. I've attached the raw html code.

Many Thanks, Nigel.

Question 1.

I don't suppose that there is a simple PHP change I could make to get the behaviour that I would like?

Question 2.

I'm really surprised that there have been no updates to this program for 2 years. You advertise that you get free updates, but if you've stopped development doesn't that come under the banner, "False Advertising"?
