Hello,
I switched back to Newspaper last week. I noticed that the entire website loads at first and a FEW seconds later, my Adsense ads load. The Adsense load right away on different themes with the website, but with Newspaper, they are loading LAST.
I lost a lot of revenue. Because people are clicking on links before even seeing the ads.
I don’t have any plugins that manage my ads or anything. Not even an ad server. Trust me, this has nothing to do with Adsense, it is theme related. Because when I switch to other themes, they work fine.
***UPDATE – Problem is here**
I noticed something that if I use the “custom ad slots” provided by Newspaper, the ads load very slow and last. If I paste the code directly into the design without using the ad slots, they load fast.
Newspaper: 11.4
Gossip Pro theme
Wordpress version: 5.9
PHP version: 7.4
Website https://www.wrestleview.com
We also have this issue
Hi adamuiowa, the theme panel options are now recommended only if you want to use the same AdSense code in more ad box elements, in this way you can change the code from the theme panel and will change for all ad box where it is set as a source.
If you set the code directly in the ad box, then this will make request to the ad directly without been needed to check first in ad source.
Also, I checked your website and you have some errors in console, those can make the loading of ads to be longer then it should be -> https://i.imgur.com/3xUGa1X.png
Another thing is that the Newspaper v11.4 was not tested with WordPress v5.9, so it can be an interference too. If you want you can make a full backup and update the theme to v11.4.1
Now, there can be other situations, for example if you use some optimize plugin that is set some scripts to load in footer, then the ads will be added after the content.
There are more aspects that need to be checked and I will love to take a look and see if this situation can be solved, but for this you’ll also need to improvise the website speed, right now this is not so good.
Hi columbusunderground,
You have the same problem with the ads loading? those are loading only after a few seconds? If yes, then we’ll check your website too, but for further problems, please open a new topic and explain the situation you have and provide details and a link to the website, because sometimes the same issue can be from different cause.
Thank you for your understanding!
I updated to 11.4.1 and it’s still the same issue.
You can see for yourself: https://www.wrestleview.com/top-story/220515-wwe-news-may-premium-live-event-name-confirmed-female-superstars-featured-on-billboard-in-saudi-arabia/
On top, right below the featured image, the ads takes a while to load. It’s the direct Adsense ad, without any ad server.
I really don’t want to revert back to another theme. Please if you can help.
Thanks
Hi,
Maybe the problem is that the scripts is loading in the footer of page and not in the head, please make sure that the general code for ads is set here -> https://i.imgur.com/XQZOK1W.png
Some delay can be because the code is loading from external sources (from google) and it takes 1-2 seconds because is not loading directly from the website. Also the ads are loading the same when you are connected as admin?
Thank you!
