Hi!
I have just checked my test site (test.obrazovanie.by) with Newspaper theme on GtMetrix and PageSpeed and was a bit disappointed with low scores and some speed issues reported:
I realize that some speed issues have nothing to do with the theme (e.g. caching or gzip compression). However, some of them might be related to the theme, in my opinion. Could you, please, give some recommendations about how to optimize the following issues found by GTMetrix.
1) Minify CSS
2) Minify html
3) Minify JavaScript
I expect this is not a problem for you since demo page gets high score in the same categories.
What about “Optimize images” issue – I found the guide how to fix it at “Pagespeed guide” page of the documentaions. That would be very nice to have similar guides on issues 1-3 (see above) there.
Kind regards,
Dmitry
Hi again!
The problem was partly solved after enabling gzip compression as described here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
It became better, but still not perfect:

Can you give some tips how to make it better?
Hi,
For the minification option, you can use cloudflare as suggested here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
Also please make sure you use the tagdiv speedbooster plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ (it does not work with all plugins though)
Thank you!
Hi, Bogan!
Thank you for recommendations. I try it latter. Actually, page speed is not bad, much better than with many other themes I tried before 🙂
You can also try some of my tips and tricks in my tutorial/thread in the “best of forums” post under the DIY section in docs 🙂
