Hey guys,
I recently installed Newspaper on my domain. Everything is great, thanks for this amazing theme, I got a lot of positive feedback!
This is a straight forward question with a probably complex answer I’m guessing. I am having issues with page load. According to Google pagespeed test, it’s my images. I also ran the YSlow add-on for Chrome and it said something about external Javascripts and stylesheets, no expiry for headers, and CSS in the body.
For the images, I tried optimizing as much much as I can. I tried EWWW, Smush.it, Imsanity, and Regenerate Thumbnails as recommended by you. Nothing seems to solve my images issue. I might be doing something wrong.
I went through a lot of the forum posts regarding this issue, but I can’t seem to solve mine. To be honest, I am not good with coding, as some posts mentioned code editing. I believe they were posts by Chris if I’m not mistaken.
Can you please have a look into this issue and advise me on what should be done? I wasn’t having this load issue with my previous theme.

Hi,
You also try to add the following code at the end of the functions.php file:
add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', create_function('', 'return 50;' ) );
It will compress all future added images to 50%, but you have to regenerate the thumbs for the images that were already uploaded, you can do it using the Force Regenerate plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-regenerate-thumbnails/
I also suggest you go trough Chris’s thread/topics regarding this and if you don’t have code knowledge I suggest you get someone to help you with this because is not easy.
Thanks
