Hi,
Just a heads up for the next update.
There are lot of new requirements now from Google for mobile sites at developer.
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/

Like on mobile
WebP and Jpeg2000 needed.
Speed Index
Time to interactive index
Which can be tackled via lazy loading etc.

Also eliminating render blocking scripts and better way of handling/minimizing javascripts.
Lot of new pre-requisites are there.
Hopefully in the next update we can see some of them tackled 🙂

Regards
SP

Hi,

There will be overall improvements made in the theme in coming updates. Can’t say what exactly these are and in which matters.

Thanks

I just noticed the new Google demands and webp is their big push.

When I used any webp images on Newspaper, I noticed they don’t show up in Featured section section on homepage, but they show up in article.

@gooma2 From what I can find that image format is not supported by all browsers at the moment, despite Google recommending it, so there would be need for a fallback
