After updating new versions of Newspaper theme, my site has become very slow in loading the site in browsers in both mobile and desktop. Until the Newspaper Version 8.5, the site was speed enough but the later versions made my site slow to my visitors.
I have also tried the Speed Guides from the Newspaper tutorials but they are not working…

Please help to speed up my site because my visitors are complaining about this and I am losing my traffic too…
Hello vinayakganiger,
Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized.
Notice that is not a simple task and if you do not have any experience in this regard you will do not bring good results for the theme. Also, notice that we have a speed optimization tutorial but this is addressed only to advanced users. So, if you follow the steps which are presented in this tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ you can increase the page speed loading and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because the speed optimization services are not covered by our support policy, as you can read here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/ Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ regarding on dedicated server to fit our requirements.
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option to minify the style.css file and we cannot recommend any plugins with this functionality because is not tested with our theme. For minifying this file, we are using CloudFlare for our demo and works fine. If you want to read other views from our users, please check this topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tip-how-to-easily-minify-your-css-without-breaking-your-site/
Also, check all of your Ad Spots and if you have entered any suspicious code through them, remove all of them and check the results without them.
One of our top members here on the forum wrote his own optimization tutorial here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/ and here -> https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/
Basically, these are the theme requirements

Thanks for your understanding!
I tried these but not that effective results. My site was way fast in the previous versions of Newspaper but not now. Can I get a previous version of newspaper theme like Newspaper 8.5
Or will you please fix my site yourself. I chose Newspaper theme thinking about the site speed but after updates that all went.
I am getting low organic traffic because of low site speed.
Please help me out…
