Just ran the update. Not checked much aside from page load speeds, minuscule improvement. The TagDivComposer no longer loads, so as expected, have to uninstall.
We’re running London News Pro, Standard plugin disabled. The server is set up as follows.
PHP Version 7.4.15
WP Memory Limit 512 MB
PHP Execution Time 1500
PHP Max Input Vars 2000
Each day, over the course of the last few weeks, more and more pages from our site fail the Search Console test, we now have over 400 listed with ridiculously slow load times. This is entirely the fault of the theme, we’ve tried everything else to resolve this with no joy. The theme is just too code-heavy and isn’t elegant. Advertising it as fast is clearly misleading. It is anything but.
Hello!
I’m sorry that you could not achieve what you need with our theme.
If you consider our theme as not elegant or not great for you, then you can request a refund here: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new and we will approve it as soon as possible and Envato will refund your money.
About the page speed, you need to optimize and make some customization after update if you want to have such a great result.
Thank you for your understanding!
if you want to have such a great result??? Are you serious?
Here’s what happened on Google after your update. It added another 6 pages with Core Web Vitals issues. LCP on some pages is over 5 seconds We have over 2 million hits a month on this site, and in excess of 1500 articles so just switching it over isn’t a 2-minute exercise, although I’m now starting to wish it was.
What I’d like is for you to actually live up to the claims you make about your template’s speed.
Hello!
Yes, because your website need an optimal speed that’s why you need to make some settings also to help for the improvement.
By the way, we have such a great result with this new update and with our new tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnkVapqhIHc
We have clients which are so excited about their results ( you can check the score of this website for example:https://osaopaulo.org.br/ ) and clients who are disappointed because they just make an update and nothing else, that’s why I said if you will try to make a little effort I’m sure you can have such a great result too, of course if you want.

We are building a long term collaboration with our customers. You can see on our demos what page loading speed score can a website loaded with content can have. However, page loading speed can depend on many factors, and each website is unique from this point of view.
Let me explain some of these factors and maybe they give you some starting points for optimizing your website.
External factors: server speed, if you are using CDN or not, the external resources loaded by your website like ads, fonts, tracking scripts like Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Twitter analytics, Hotjar and so on.
Internal factors: the number of elements on the page, image size, image formats, if you are using mobile optimized layouts, console errors, if you are using the Standard Pack plugin on not, if you are using PRO demo or a standard one.
I hope I was more clear now and more useful!
Thank you!
