High Page Load Times

Hi,

I just checked my analytics for site speed and page load times are very high

I have no idea how to decrease it, it’s really frustrating me.

Please help

Have you optimized your site for PageSpeed rating?
Have you limited number of queries per post page?
Have you increased the default RAM assigned to php?

Hello, when I want to save a change in subject will get the login but not removed. Like all the time. Do not save changes.

– I did some of the suggestions, but there are many things I don’t know how to solve.
– I have no idea how to do that
– I have 32gb ram, how much to assign to PHP?

You limit number of queries by using fewer modules. Every
module on a page is a function to query the dbase. So, obviously if you do less, you use less resources.

Well, depends on your default. If you’re managing your own server you should already know how to edit the php.ini file or change the php settings from host panel, but many systems default to 32MB or 64MB, while I’ve found these days with WP that 256MB is a good “minimum” — if you have a high traffic site, double that. If your main site is the “main” site on your server, try 1GB. Also remember some servers you need to manually type the number into the panel, and the value will actually be something like 1G or 512M and not 512MB.

Upshot — check the default setting; if it’s too low, your site may run out of RAM, and die. SO, good place to start. 🙂

For PageSpeed optimization you can also try my updated “cheat sheet” — see the sticky post that TagDiv admin kindly “stuck” to the top of the forum menu!

Hope that helped.

Main thing — limit the number of Google fonts, external stuff like Jetpack, limit multiple ad networks, test a post page with GTMetrix.com which has some nice “how to fix it” info for common speed problems.

Where these google fonts came from? I have no idea how to limit them!

And how do I eliminate the render-blocking javascripts?

I really want to get rid of the red warnings…

Ignore the render blocking … that has nothing to do with slow page load times.

To limit use of Google fonts, simply don’t use them. Switch to websafe fonts in the control panel, and then search/replace all the Open Sans and Roboto fonts in the style.css and choose web safe fonts.

Note all those Google fonts in the mobile page?

I see googleapis requests for fonts I don’t even use

How do I get rid of it?

I think in this version of newspaper you need to comment those out of the functions.php file. I think some might have moved to the speedbooster folder for the td functions file. BUt same idea. Open your functions.php file and look for google fonts.

TagDiv support might have better answer for current version of Newspaper (I am a version back, actually).

I don’t know what to comment out so I will prefer to wait for a tagDiv support. thank you.

p.s: I used this guide
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

Installed wp_booster and made the needed changes for $this->move_js_to_footer and $this->move_style_to_footer
But it’s not working, the plugin files don’t go to the footer and my plugins are not working
