Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest theme update(4.5) and you update Visual Composer plugin that comes with the theme files.
Please deactivate all plugins, leave only Visual Composer plugin active, also empty cache and purge files if you use CDN host service and see if the issue is still there.
I also tested this with the latest theme update and found no issues: http://screencast.com/t/zsdM50Thjv
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked your site and social counter seems to work: http://screencast.com/t/ivqJgDDn
http://screencast.com/t/MrHLSMpkUc1n
http://screencast.com/t/4t9UDtgoGe35
Also I see that it is added a post created yesterday: http://screencast.com/t/Gy4IVtDawzb4
For the other issues please deactivate all plugins, leave only Visual Composer active, also make sure you empty cache and purge files if you use CDN host service.
Thanks!
Hi,
Using css you will only hide them and this will not reduce the number of requests to the server.
If you want to hide them please use this custom css: http://screencast.com/t/E4XuIhYN
.span4.column_container .td_mod3 img{
display: none;
}
.span4.column_container .td_mod3 .item-details {
margin-left: 0px;
}
Or you can delete this line from the module, but will affect all blocks that are using the module: http://screencast.com/t/DcdNaYYQUc
Also you will have to use css after that: http://screencast.com/t/iUd9Vx1Q
.span4.column_container .td_mod3 .item-details {
margin-left: 0px;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
Could you please provide more details about your issue as I’m not sure I understand. Please disable all plugins leaving just the Visual Composer active then empty cache and/or purge files if you use any cache plugins or CDN services and check again.
If you are not unsgin the laste theme version(4.6.1) and this still isn’t working please check your console for errors and also make sure your theme settings are saved. If not you have to increase the max_input_vars = 1000; value inside the php.ini file to max_input_vars = 5000;.
If you don’t have access to the php.ini file please contact the host administrator and let him know about this issue.
You could also updated the theme if the settings aren’t saved as we have made some changes in the latest versions so this won’t be needed anymore.
Hope this helps! Please let me know!
Thanks
Hi,
The path needs to include all format files, like this:
@font-face {
font-family: 'My_font';
src: url('custom-fonts/exo2-thinitalic-webfont.eot');
src: url('custom-fonts/exo2-thinitalic-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('custom-fonts/exo2-thinitalic-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('custom-fonts/exo2-thinitalic-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('custom-fonts/exo2-thinitalic-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('custom-fonts/exo2-thinitalic-webfont.svg#My_font') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
See the screenshot form above, I’ve also pointed out the location of the custom-fonts folder which contains the font files:
* http://screencast.com/t/mZV2w12cxJTJ
Make sure you do this right and empty cache/purge if you use CDN files as I have tested this and works fine.
Thanks
Hi,
We aren’t aware of this and I also don’t believe that we are facing a bug hare because as you can also find if you check our demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ the theme looks good on IE7 to 11 browsers.
I also noticed this server error when checking your site on Firefox browser(latest version) so this might also be due to your server. I suggest you also contact your host provider and let them now about this: http://screencast.com/t/0YCFnK627
I suggest you also try to check this without any plugins active, lave just Visual Composer plugin active and also make sure you empty cache and/or purge files if you use CDN host services.
Try this and let me know how it goes!
Thanks
Hi,
First check if the plugin is installed and active – http://screencast.com/t/1NosXJyV8F
Look into the widget section for the [tagdiv] Social Counter widget – http://screencast.com/t/DTU3iFMeoUWL
If it’s not there try to disable the rest of the plugins, also try to delete the plugin and re-install it.
If you made any modifications on the code remove them, if you use a cdn/cache disable it.
You can also try the theme on a local fresh install.
Thank you, Emil G.
This random page with newsmag, no caching plugin, no cdn, 3 google ads, google fonts, and youtube video gets a 95 rating…
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/ga-ga.com/zQXF31Wz
It will be faster once i fix the font loading.
Also, youtube links now need to be long version and not the yout.be version, since its a redirect.
Every little thing adds up somewhere.

Well, server response is not how long the page takes to load, but how long it takes to first respond.
welcome to wordpress… Optimization is a lot of trial and error. I spent entire month of jan 2014 wasted on how to optimize our business site, with minification, cdn yes then no, sub domain to limit number of loads from one domain, mod pagespeed plugin, image optimization, sprites for some things, use fewer plugins, optimize wpconfig file, optimize fuctions.php file, optimize font loading, etc.
You need to talk to your hosting company about optimizing the speed of the “server response time.” There is nothing you can do externally to change that, if you have a slow connection outbound to the web. A CDN is supposed to help with that, ironically. Likely talk to a consultant from your hosting provider about what you can do since they claim to offer WordPress optimized hosting. 🙂
If I enable minify from the CDN my sliders won’t work with this theme… Is it possible to get 2-3 seconds load time and Yslow of 90 for example. This is my google pagespeed test.
http://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=www.toppcnews.com&tab=desktop
What else can I improve I am really obsessed with this stuff.
Why not ask your CDN service ? They’re the one who sold you the plan?
A CDN “can” “in most cases” speed up a website by loading things like photos from a server closer to the person viewing it; meaning somebody in NY might get an image faster than somebody in CA, if loading the image from a server based in NY.
This doesn’t always mean the pages load any faster for PageSpeed. We ended up just loading things from our own server as the CDN didn’t “really” speed things up for us in actual practice. It’s more useful on large shared hosting accounts.
This info may be useful 🙂
http://gtmetrix.com/why-use-a-cdn.html
I am on the best plan on http://www.siteground.com they have custom cache plugin i am using also they have CDN’s across the world. I also use CloudFlare Plus on top of that I have enabled compression leverage etc. I still can’t get my website to receive higher score or speed… Whats the point of the CDN then?
Well, all those ad networks, and the stuff like variables on the cdn, etc., are stuff “off the site” which are difficult to optimize. Generally once you have more than 3 ad networks and affiliate systems running, it will kill your speed. Trade off on income vs speed, and you know which one usually will win there 😉 … often you can try to address some of those issues with the ad networks.
The weirdo thing with the http + https issue with Google ads, I’ve not yet been able to sort out, as we’re seeing that too for the first time as of December/January. Maybe Jan. 1 ? It’s possible Google is doing some kind of redirect for legacy ad units in their network to force https loading of http content coming off client servers (client http://image.jpg –> https://google.image.jpg) but guessing on that.
80 mobile and 90 desktop are the “ideal” … but arguably you can test your score with AdSense “off” to get a more realistic score since we’ve seen that Google doesn’t penalize your score in real world use for their own sites not being optimized for their own testing system (!).
Too much fun!
Hi Chris! Thank you for all your suggestion, the server seems to be better now, unfortunately we have issue on speed of the site again:
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rnbjunk.com%2F
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150129_7M_MXV/
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.rnbjunk.com/XdWKMwAw
We have activated TagDiv Speed, Speed Booster Pack, W3 Total Cache (Page CDN Browser CLOUDFLARE).
Hello, i have already follow your these guidelines to speed up my site:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-speed-guide/
But still my score on google speed insight is 70 and 84 for mobile and desktop!
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unbelievable-facts.com%2F
I have few questions please guide me:
1. it is showing i need to optimize CSS Delivery, i saw article about combining many css files to one, but i am not sure if it will be applicable in these 3rd part css below:
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…ontact-form-plugin/css/style.css?ver=4.1
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…ser/assets/css/js_composer.css?ver=4.3.4
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…content/themes/Newsmag/style.css?ver=1.2
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…alize/frontend/css/socialize.css?ver=4.1
first css is of contact form i am using, widget url is :
https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-plugin/
please suggest me good contact form, which will not create any porb.
2nd css is of visual composer i guess, please suggest me its solution too.
2. Minify CSS for the following resources to reduce their size by 10.5KiB (16% reduction).
Minifying http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…content/themes/Newsmag/style.css?ver=1.2 could save 9.1KiB (17% reduction) after compression.
Minifying http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…ser/assets/css/js_composer.css?ver=4.3.4 could save 1.4KiB (13% reduction) after compression.
How can i compress them? please guide!
3.Minify JavaScript for the following resources to reduce their size by 4.8KiB (3% reduction).
Minifying http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…assets/js/js_composer_front.js?ver=4.3.4 could save 2.1KiB (36% reduction) after compression.
Minifying https://www.gstatic.com/swiffy/v7.1.1/runtime.js could save 1.4KiB (2% reduction) after compression.
Minifying http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…themes/Newsmag/js/td_site.min.js?ver=1.2 could save 775B (3% reduction) after compression.
Minifying http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/…s/r20150122/r20141212/expansion_embed.js could save 512B (2% reduction) after compression.
How can i minify them? please guide?
And 1 more question, currently i am using dedicated server, should i try CDN? will it help improving page speed? if yes then how much?
Hi,
Have you also updated WordPress also? If not please do so then following this guide connect via FTP and remove the VC plugin’s folder then install it as instructed here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Also try this without plugins active, empty cache and purge files if you are using CDN host.
Please let me know how it goes!
Thanks
Hi,
Sorry for the delay!
I have checked your site and noticed that most of the images added in your posts are loading just a thumb of the image and not the original image: http://screencast.com/t/rwTodrMFLM which based on the width and height image attributes is stretched and from there that blurry effect appears.
This could be caused by your recent WordPress update so I suggest you try to edit an image within a post and change its size: http://screencast.com/t/oB3B8nsASbB then check again and also try to regenerate thumbnail and empty cache files/purge files if you use CDN.
Please let me know!
Thanks

Hi,
Seems that you also use CDN: http://screencast.com/t/CO50qKXb
I suggest you empty cache/purge files then try again as you CDN is loading old content.
Thanks
Hi,
These are the pagination types you can set on blocks: http://screencast.com/t/TWMSjRpY
All of them work based on ajax so I suggest you set the pagination then check this without any plugins active and also make sure you empty cache/purge files if you use a CDN host service.
Please let me know if you still have issues with it after this and also provide your site’s URL so I can also check this as it should work, I’ve also tested this and found no issues.
Thanks
Hi,
No. The theme uses different image sizes for on module/blocks/menu.
For old content the image thumbs don’t exist so the original image will be loaded and you need to regenerate thumbnails: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
I also suggest you empty cache/purge files if you sue any cache plugin or CDN host services.
Thanks
Hi,
I have also tested this how you’ve reported it however I haven’t found any issues when using bbpress latest version, all work as expected.
Please also test this without any plugins installed, empty cache and purge files if you are using any CDN host services then check again.
Also make sure that you check your console for js errors, let me know how it goes and also provide your site’s URL so I can inspect this.
Thanks
Hi Lucian,
It looks like we were able to get the CDN to work! However, Newspaper is still taking a long time to load. It wasn’t an issue on the old site, but it’s causing huge load times in the new theme. What do you recommend for retroactively re-sizing all the old images to work with Newspaper? There’s still a couple hiccups with CSS and javascript causing minor issues, but our major hurdle is getting our images to load fast on Newspaper. From here on out, all uploads will be re-sized by staff with uploading to web in mind, but we need to keep the old content in the new theme. As it stands, the site will take receive a much lower search engine ranking if we launch with the pages loading so slow.
I really just need to use the CDN for the images at this point. It was working great with W3TC on my old theme.
Hi,
Having it enabled from theme panel should show it on post pages: http://screencast.com/t/Hhvcz45upixb so please make sure that you have it enabled then empty cache, purge files if you use any CDN host services then try again and also disable all plugins, js/css/html minification.
Also try to remove this condition from post template: http://screencast.com/t/3TPPs6Q7N TYhis is for the default post template for other post template you need to edit other files: http://screencast.com/t/9jTzrTbXiS
Please let me know afterwards!
Thanks
