Hi,
From the Newspaper 10 release notes, I thought the upgrade would significantly improve my website speed/performance. However, after having upgraded from 9.8 to 10.2, I do not see any performance improvement. In fact, GTMetrix tests reveal that my score has gone down. This is my website URL — https://whatisthebusinessmodelof.com
Please suggest ways to improve performance. Thanks.

Hello !
We recommend, you first create a backup of your website and set up a maintenance mode until your work is done.
In order to test the new implementation, you can use the WP-Staging plugin to create a staging copy of your website where you can test the new features without affecting the live site.
The first step for you to clearly see what features remain available and what’s new in Newspaper 10 would be to deactivate the Standard Pack plugin. This will probably cause your homepage to be filled with shortcodes, but don’t worry !
In this way you will know exactly what needs to be adjusted.
With the standard pack plugin deactivated you will have to import and set a Cloud template for all your default wordpress pages. In order to cover all of your website you need to import, customize and apply the following templates:
Header Template
Footer Page
404 template
Attachment Template
Author Template
Category Template
Date Template
Search Template
Single Post Template
Tag Template
All the templates found above are fully editable with tagDiv Composer which means more possibilities to customize your website. Please note that most of the old tagDiv Composer elements have been re-designed and converted to be fully customizable and can be imported to your page from here: poza cloud composer – blocks.
For the mobile menu please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.
Thank you !
Hi,
I disabled the “Standard Pack Plugin” and imported “Header Template 13” from the Cloud Library as that seemed the closest to my current header. Please look at the current and new headers here. Notice how the colour for the horizontal line at the bottom of main menu items and in the search box has changed from brown to blue. Also the current header has the logo fixed at 80px height I think but I can’t find any way to fix this in the tagDiv Composer. Please help. Once I’ve fixed the header, I will proceed with other templates. Also can you tell me what is the advantage of doing all this. Is the template going to load lesser resources than it is loading now and make the website faster? I don’t want to go through this exercise and not get any significant benefits.
Current
New
Also, if you look at the New page (after the Cloud template was applied), the homepage has changed. Instead of showing a list of all articles, it just goes to a random article. Honestly, you need to have better step-by-step guide on how this transition from using wordpress templates to cloud templates can be achieved. Please advise.

Hi Vlad,
I am doing this locally on a WAMP server as I have just the production version of my website. I am happy to do it over a AnyDesk or TeamStudion session or any other method you suggest.

Hello !
Unfortunately we only inspect live websites. You can activate your Newspaper theme and on a staging website so we can see it.
Thank you !
Thanks Vlad for your response. I have created a Staging version as suggested by you and sent you an email with the necessary details. Look forward to your speedy response.
