Hello,
Years ago, when I decided to buy the best and fastest wordpress theme, I found Newspaper theme after checking many other themes. The most important feature to me was the speedscore of this theme. However, as most of you know that this is not so fast any more. Yes, this theme has been improved in many aspects, but the importance given to speed has decreased, too.
Even the images of the are not compressed: http://prntscr.com/e14utx
As the pagespeed is one of the most important signals of SEO to rank higher, you are supposed to pay more attention to speed as once you did 🙂
Please, share your ideas about this issue!
Thanks…
Hello,
Please note that the theme on itself will not provide perfect page speed results from the start. Page speed is a very personal thing and the optimization has to be done by the user in each case in particular. There is no theme that will optimize page speed automatically. Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
We agree that the page speed score dropped some time ago but this is not the theme to blame. The speed is the same it was those years ago you mention. google changed their alogrythm since then. The speed is the same, the google score is lower however because google gets more and more ‘demanding’ with each passing year.
Thank you!
