Hi,
I have checked into this and it seems that chrome on iOS has this issue. It seems it renders a bit slow and that is why the background is visible. It only happens if you scroll fast enough so chrome cannot keep up the pace. (It also happens on our live demo but not so visible as on your website as you have more elements on your webpage and it is heavier on chrome’s renderer) There is a way you can diminish this effect, if you deactivate the smooth scroll from the theme panel :http://screencast.com/t/N9MdKGl1yt
You can also try to disable/enable the lazyload animation as well to see if it has any effect on rendering speed: http://screencast.com/t/9SnvsJFM
Another thing you can do is to increase your page loading speed: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.comics2film.com%2F&tab=mobile
You can follow this guide to see how you can have a better loading time:

I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello Podoseb,
For more information about how to make your website faster can find in our tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ and the plugin that we recommend for optimizing the images is -> Wp smush.it and you can download from our tutorial.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
I am using CloudFlare and default .htaccess which is provided by tagdiv team in this tutorial https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Hello Sir,
The Cache plugin tutorial uses wp super cache.
I request you to please create another tutorial using the w3 total cache.
The theme is awesome & w3 cache has lot of diverse options ,it already does some of the steps mentioned here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
We want to optimise the theme speed to the very max using this plugin. Also i am sure it will be helpful to lot of people.
Hello,
You can our htaccess file in this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ – http://screencast.com/t/sB6z5ifSLl
Thank you!
Mahmoud, I don’t know if this is the reason, but when I loaded your front page, it took 28 seconds. A story page was 26 seconds, and when a popup loaded, it was another 20 seconds.
– I am in Australia but that is still a long load time.
– your initial server response is faster than my server in Dallas, but my photo-heavy pages load in 7 seconds.

Hello,
There is a page speed tutorial but you will need a bit of know how to do it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Speed booster is the plugin we created for this purpose but it will not work with all plugins as it has a compatibility list in it’s code and some of your plugins could not compatible with it. There is a workaround however. You can remove this code: http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh so it will work with every plugin.
I hope this helps.

Hi Support,
I just purchase this theme and would like know if it is ok that the development copy can be installed in different domain name than the live copy.
We also want to install a development copy on our local machine to faster customization. How many development copies we can create?
Thanks.
Hi
Thanks @Chris for your feedback!
@gmaio you can load the css and js conditional by adding a hook in functions.php file like here:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_unwanted_scripts', 2000 );
function dequeue_unwanted_scripts(){
if (is_page(array('page-id1', 'page-id2'))){
wp_dequeue_style( 'file-id' );
}
if (is_single(array('page-id1', 'page-id2'))){
wp_dequeue_style( 'file-id-' );
}
}Note that this is just a basic example. You have to replace the page-id with the numeric id of your page and the file id with the specific id for each specific resource. To get the page id follow this link: http://screencast.com/t/9V7zgx6WK and to get the file id use the indicated file function in our page-speed guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ – http://screencast.com/t/EYWMMocPrN The required conditions for your resources may differ then the ones I’ve indicated in above example and also you have to make sure that by removing some resources the page load won’t be affected.
Please consider that this is a complex task which require advanced coding skills, also many customization and tests. If you can’t do this by yourself my advice is to look for someone which can help you with this or hire a freelancer to do it for you as we can’t offer any type of custom work at the moment.
Thanks!
Most important thing is to stop serving live pages and start serving static html pages. You can do this with W3totalcaching, just make sure page caching is enabled. Also it will NOT cache for logged-in users. So test in another browser…
If you have a regular hosting plan a non-cached php page will load in something like 900ms. On a slow host you can even see 2000+ ms. If you use a good host (pm me if you are looking for a fast one) you can get this down to about 300ms. When you switch to html pages you can go as low as 30ms.
CDN is only useful for international websites. I use it on one of my websites because it allows visitors from the US and Asia to load my page faster (hosted in The Netherlands).
Hi
The theme code was tested and optimized for best performance, we have a lot of clients and the theme works well on a large variety of hosts.
First please make sure that you use the recommended server configuration for Newspaper theme, you can check our documentation for more details: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/
There are lots of factors that influence the site’s page-sped. I suggest you first try this without any other plugins active, leave just VC plugin active the check again. To improve the loading speed look the mysql query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html we also use it on our demo.
Also you can use the speed booster to move the js and css at the bottom of the page, eliminate render-blocking, but not for all plugins. Check the System Status if the speed booster is active if you use other plugins than the tested ones. You can find some useful information regrading speed booster usage in this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-booster-questions/
Also you can read this guide, it may help – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello,
You can follow this tutorial on page speed, but keep in mind that it will require a bit of reading on your part:

Thank you!
Hello,
Pagespeed is a complex task and you will have to do a bit of reading on the subject. We created a quick guide for it, but keep in mind that it requires a bit of know how on your part: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thank you!
This theme does not include that plugin, it’s a separate thing. Good idea to post questions on the support page/forum for that plugin for faster help in debugging problems with it.
Make sure you only use ONE type of caching plugin. Make sure you have enough memory allocated to WordPress before doing so. Make sure you read the tutorial in the TagDiv theme docs on “suggestions” on how to setup a caching plugin to best work with theme — deactivate ALL plugins except for Visual Composer as one step in debugging problems with caching plugin.
I’m sure TagDiv will offer some advice but they are closed weekends their local time.
Did you define the path to /wp-super-cache/ in your wp-config.php file?
If it’s totally borked, you might have to remove the plugin via FTP, then remove the lines it might have added to your htaccess or wp-config.php file, then start over, perhaps using different caching plugin if not compatible with your setup.
Some folks here have had success using various caching plugins including zencache, etc.
Hello,
In order to increase your site speed, you need to follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
you will have to use the speedbooster plugin to move render blocks to footer. Speedbooster will not work with all your plugins as it has a compatibility list in it’s code and some of your plugins are not compatible with it. There is a workaround however. you can remove this code: http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh
As for cdn and minify, we also use cludflare.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello,
I was talking about this guide on how to make your website faster. It describes how to use speedbooster to move render blocks to the footer : https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thank you!
My test page using newspaper demo template shows terribly slow speed on google page speed test. I have read https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ and done a few things but it doesn’t really seem to help. my question is, which steps out of total six shown on the above link are essential (I mean most crucial) to increase the speed? (and don’t say all are essential :-)). FYI, I already have changed our website to a better/faster hosting plan.
I Have applied 5th Step https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
But, there is no any change. I could nof find corresponding id in my list id of css and js.

Please notice that you have to make a website run faster you will need to have at least basic knowledge not necessarily ‘tech savvy’.
You will need to follow this tutorial on page speed:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ Gzip compression needs to be active and also read about how you can compress the images. I suggest to getting someone to help you if you cannot manage.
Also please make sure that Speed Booster is active, check System Status for this – http://screencast.com/t/LDPniI0Qpv The plugin is tested only with these plugins – http://screencast.com/t/hcjLnOqh4i2 and if you have others active it will be automatically disabled.
In order to use the TagDiv speed booster with all plugins, you will need to remove this code – http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
The best thing you can do is follow their instructions on how to do some of the stuff that can be improved. There are lots of resources online for this purpose. We have a tutorial on pagespeed ourselves that can be found here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ but keep in mind that this is for advanced users so you will need to proceed carefully.
Thank you!
Hello,
The best thing we can recommend for pagespeed is using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Be careful though as this guide is for advanced users. You will need to know what you are doing in order to get to faster load speeds
Thank you!
Hi,
The theme has some server requirements as it is specified in our documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ please to increase php memory and the other parameters like it is specified in this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ and also please follow the pagespeed optimization guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Lately the Visual Composer plugin was optimized a lot regarding the performance and security and recently we did not received any reports about this, also our theme is optimized to work with Visual Composer plugin.
You can also try to reduce the number of ajax using elements on page (mega menus, ajax pagination/load more/infinite load). Also reduce the number of blocks on your main page and enable only the plugins that you need to use.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked one of your posts using fb debugger(I also suggested above to use it) and you get some erors there that you should fix and first I suggest to read and apply this online solution as your server spend a lot of time to response the requests – http://screencast.com/t/X0KjhlEBHi4 here you can read more – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22461368/facebook-developer-tool-throw-curl-error-operation-timeouted-operation-timed especially this answer – http://screencast.com/t/Sjh4Rj8usU0
First you should use a cache plugin(we recommend WP Super Cache) and also please check this guide to improve the pagespeed – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ the real issue is your server response time and you can try to reduce the number of queries (fewer plugins, fewer blocks on page, reduce the elements which use ajax requests/pagination like mega menus/load more/infinite load), also consider using a cache plugin like I already suggested.
Thanks!
