Newspaper Theme, Main menu ‘No Preloading’ option has no effect

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello, on our site https://slotbeats.com/
we have ‘No preloading'(default) option selected for main menu, yet article thumbnails are getting loaded eagerly before any action is taken. This affects our SEO scoring, is it intended behaviour?

We are running 12.6.6 Newspaper theme version,
Turning off all plugins and child theme did not solve the problem.

Thank you in advance for assistance

Hello!

I’ve checked your website and it seems that the menu is loading first and then the articles.

Thank you!

I am sorry, I wasnt clear enough.
These images in the menu’s submenu https://ibb.co/HGRnLH8
are loaded instantly upon site visit, which I would assume shouldn’t be the case without a preloading setting checked.

Hello!

There is a setting for the header main menu shortcode in the mega menu tab for preloader, and you can set the one you need. Check this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/what-is-ajax-preloading/

Thank you!

Yes that’s exactly my point, I have it set to ‘No preloading’ and it preloads still

Hello!

Choose “Delayed” and let me know the results.

Thank you!

where can I do that? It’s not listed in the documentation link you have sent and there is no such option to choose from in theme’s panel

Hello!

There is an option in the tagdiv Composer: https://app.screencast.com/bxB6Oi95eN6Vn
We recommend to use cloud/PRO templates in order to have the possibility to edit them with the TagDiv Composer which contains a lot of functions and features, please check our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
More documentation about the cloud templates is here:

Thank you!

Hello, is there any option to do that for default menu, i.e the one that comes with the theme, without using cloud/PRO templates? we would much rather stay with our current one.

Also isn’t this actually a bug? The resources you have linked state that with ‘No preloading’ option turned on, it shouldnt fetch anything without user interaction yet it loads everything from the get-go, no matter which option is picked

Hello!

No. You should use cloud templates. In No preloading option, the theme will make an Ajax request on each click on a filter. After the request is made, the theme is using a browser cache to store the result and not make an additional request for the same resource until the page is reloaded.

Thank you!
