thanks for help

Great, thanks for your time with that info. The files that are actually modified is really key for me.

I actually updated without realising that it would revert all my changes as I have made a lot of modifications. So I am going through changing everything all over again (but faster to do this time). Lots of things are broken on my site as a result of the patch, including the log in process for example.

However, my site is not live yet (i have a deadline for this weekend) as I have been working on it for the past couple of week. I estimate that by updating my theme with this patch, I have added about 4-6 hours of work to reconfigure my own changes, as I didn’t note down what I did previously. This is a good learning experience for me for updating the theme in the future when the site is live.

Hi, Catalin thanks for answering, url is this one but now is hidden cause i’m working on this new theme and is all messed up http://www.princefaster.it/

these are two screens of header
first one is current site
http://www.princefaster.it/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/faster_no.jpg

second one is what I think it shouldd be
http://www.princefaster.it/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/faster_ok.jpg

I’m using the home page with pagebuilder + latest articles, i would like to know also how to have the latest articles on top, now there is old material showing first

thanks

Hey Chris,

Gracious !!!

Thank you for the detailed explanatory reply. As far this system status ( https://snag.gy/P2ApmR.jpg) to be believed , my host run on Apache server and hence the HTACCESS codes written by you under this thread should be valid.

As per recommendation, I started my HTACCESS file with :

<IfModule pagespeed_module>
ModPagespeed on
ModPagespeedEnableFilters collapse_whitespace
ModPagespeedEnableFilters remove_comments
ModPagespeedEnableFilters rewrite_images
ModPagespeedEnableFilters insert_dns_prefetch
</IfModule>

and then I added following code after default rewrite codes of WordPress:

AddType text/javascript .js
AddType application/vnd.ms-fontobject .eot
AddType application/x-font-ttf .ttf
AddType application/x-font-opentype .otf
AddType application/x-font-woff .woff

The last code is to prevent hotlinking. Now as far I can read understand from your comment , the above written codes must have taken care of the required gzip/deflate settings through HTACCESS and should add up to 20 points to my score , but it didn’t happen 🙁

I still have these settings under htaccess and have also modified functions.php but the icrement in Pagespeed is only 2-4 points. On other side, I do feel my backend and homepage little faster while using after adding all these things. But there is no such impact on GTMAtrx score.

As you have mentioned :

Enable compression for the following resources to reduce their transfer size by 424.8KiB (79% reduction).

When I have already configured HTACCESS to compress it, why is it still showing there? AM I doing something wrong?

About Image optimisation thing, I use “Insanity plugin” to reduce file size while uploading the image and”optimus plugin” to compress it. the JPEG compression is set to 70 because I am worried to set it to 50 ( as recommended by you) because of the need of image quality. Since I am doing various changes, I will force regernerate and optimise images once I finalise all design aspect of my site.

Though I also tried checking GTMatrix points for my post page ( https://gtmetrix.com/reports/tomatoheart.com/vW3rCLXw ) , but it’s even worst than the homepage ( PAGESPEED SCORE: 53, YSLOW: 51)

about your second reply ( server side optimisation) , Being fron a non-programmer background, I will copy this comment and send it to my hosting provider to ask if they need to do anything.

Do you think there is something you can comment on my current situation.

Thank you.

HI

We covered in our documentation most important aspects google notifies you about in page-speed regard: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ According to google’s report you can reduce the load time by enabling compression for static resources. Fore more details please check these links: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/EnableCompression – https://gtmetrix.com/enable-gzip-compression.html – https://gtmetrix.com/leverage-browser-caching.html

To remove render blocking resources you can use our Speed Booster plugin as we indicated in our documentation at pint 5. Fore more details about page-speed please also check these topics: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/site-slow-down-caused-by-style-css/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-is-slow-after-updating/ –

Note that you will need a bit of codeing and some customizations in order to achieve a good score for your site. We can’t offer speed customization services at the moment, most we can do is to point a way of improving. If you still need guidance on this or you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer to do this for you.

Thanks!

Sure Andrei, we have just started it, looking forward get help on making our website run faster and also identifying the right kind of plugins. We will ask those as we proceed.

Also what would you suggest as good hosting providers for shared hosting to start with? As we grow we will surely look into AWS etc. but no for now.

Thanks for your time.

I mean referring to that step 5.2

Yes. I’m trying to do more than that speed booster. I’m trying to do this step 5.2

Hi

I’ve checked your site and noticed that you have a very strong cache which may affect page’s content. The cache may come from from your server so try to contact you host provider and ask him if there is an cache on the server. The cache it’s very tricky, even if you deactivated the cache plugin some pages may still be delivered from cache. Try to enable WP Super Cache again and delete the cache a few times then test the site again. Note that WP Super cache is not fully compatible with V 4.6 of wordpress but you can use the fix from this topic as a temporary solution: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/mobile-theme-does-not-work-properly/

There is a big difference between mobile theme and the responsive theme. Basically the mobile theme load a simpler version of the page, fewer resources are requested and the page load faster. There is no support for shortcodes in mobile theme and when the server prepare the html it’s skipped a lot of php code from Visual Composer, the queries made to the database are fewer and the response time is smaller. Also page size is smaller on mobile when mobile theme plugin is active.
However the difference may be negligible if the site is not properly optimized. Our theme was developed to be fast but to hit a good score may be needed additional customization.

Check this topic for more details in page speed regard: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/website-memory-problem/ The thread is from Newsmag theme but the same applies for Newspaper.

For more details about mobile theme and how it work check this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ Basically the mobile theme works like this:
– on homepage displays three posts from featured category fallowed by latest article list.
– on other pages displays only the content from mobile editor.

When mobile theme is deactivated you will have the same content displayed on any device, there is no need and additional setup for the page.

I hope this helps.
Thanks!
Andrei L tagDiv!

Thank you for the response and clear instructions .

Few things-

As of now I have 25+ plugins installed under the wordpress while as I can see in the screenshot http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh , there are almost 10 plugins whitelisted under TDbooster.

Does it mean that having any other plugins other than these 10 plugins will automatically disable the TDbooster even if it is activated under the plugin dashboard. Right?

But then on my “system status “dashboard ( see here : https://i.imgur.com/rpcyRvM.jpg ) why it’s showing only one incompatible plugins even though there are 15+ plugins which are activated but not whitelisted under the tdbooster plugin? Or is it because under the “system status” it can only show one name, no matter even if other plugins are also causing compatibility ?

Now about the workaround solution:

1. Can I whitelist the incompatible plugins ( in this case the one plugin name “adminise” shown under system status ) If yes then what code should I write there under the TDbooster .php file.

2. The second method you said is to remove ( or commenting out) the code which causes the restrictions on incompatible plugins and hence I should remove the codes shown here http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh .

Right?

And you somehow missed to respond on the point no-5 in my previous comment where I tried to detect the JS/CSS files but couldn’t achieve the desired result. I am copying the same question here again:

5. I tried to move the JS, CSS files under footer based on the instructions given here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ . I extracted and copied the list of registered JS and CSS files in a text file ( Look here: http://pastebin.com/D5CAive8 )

but then I compared it with my blocking JS/CSS listed under Pagespeed ( look here: http://pastebin.com/EH2uS3Pz )

But the problem is, almost none of the JS/CSS files listed under Pagespeed is matching with the one I extracted from my sites using functions.php code. For example- As per Pagespeed, I can see that YTSubscribe and Facebook Login JS/CSS files are causing issues, but I can’t find it under the extracted list.

Please take your time and help me to achieve greater speed and performance of my site. I am worried because just few days back under my old themes, I used to have 97 Pagespeed score and 90 Yslow scores but currently it’s too bad 🙁 ( Have a look at my speed scores on 20th august 2016 snapshots: https://i.imgur.com/JbnKtAO.png )

Thank you.

Hi

The theme has been developed to be fast but it may still need configurations on this matters so test your site using google’s page speed insights testing tool(or gtmetrix) and make sure you follow the guide instructions and methods then test your site again.

I’ve tested your site using google page speed and noticed that your server response time is very slow. According to google report it takes more then 5 seconds until the server deliver the requested data: http://screencast.com/t/taHVTK3OB Make sure that the server meets theme’s requirements: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/ and also check if the parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/

Also try deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test your site page-speed again. In terms of speed we have made a page speed guide and covered the most important aspects that google notifies you of (image optimization, js/css render blocking and more..) and based on which it classifies and grades your site regarding speed. You can find it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

If you decide to use the speed booster keep in mind that is an optional plugin and it was designed to work only with tested plugins – http://screencast.com/t/FXXDNtqfz in case you use other plugins it will be automatically disabled, so please check System Status – http://screencast.com/t/9SmVSXqe To make it work with other plugins you will have to alter the code and remove/comment this – http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh Also you may find some useful information here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/website-memory-problem/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-booster-and-akismet/

Thanks!
