Hi,
do the majority of your users log in ? Or the site is read only for the majority of the users. If the majority of your users do not have to log in (like it’s here on the forum) then you can get very good results with full page caching + cloudflare.

Hi,
Please disable the mobile version from Jetpack, as the theme has already a version for mobile device.
Regarding the pagespeed please check this guide to optimize it – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thanks!
Hi,

We use built-in comments with Akismet on some sites.
On others with higher traffic, we use Disqus.
We’re testing an async plugin using Disqus API for faster loads, but I haven’t had time to finalize that.
Generally I’ve stayed away from the FB comments as originally that slowed our pages down and/or caused them to not even load if FB was cocked up — so if that is async now, might be okay — if you don’t mind all the cookies and spying related to that and if your main visitors are coming from FB (if you have a million followers on FB then you’d likely already be using FB comments on your site ….).
When using *any* comment system remember it’s best to use one which allows you to save/store the comments locally which Disqus allows, so if you decide to leave it, you don’t lose the comments. FB didn’t support that — they “own” the comments, which wasn’t cool for our purposes. If they lose them or you switch it off, you lost all of that — not sure if it still works like that.
Anyway, some food for thought.
Some sites are removing comments as waste of time and too many trolls calling Obama a muslin, or pushing anti-immigration agendas or praising jesus for making baby food taste better or whatever. 🙂
Hello,
The shortcodes in the new version were not removed, just changed. Newspaper 6 is a whole new theme built from scratch in order to have a faster, cleaner code. You can read more about shortcodes and block quotes in our documentation(also watch the video tutorial): https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-formats-for-tinymce/
If you want the new theme version to recognize your old shortcodes, you can do that by following this topic:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/rebuilding-wordpress-newspaper-quotes-still-work/
Thank you!
Thank Chris,
I’m new here and should have look at the sticky post. Your guide is really a big help for me, I did try most of the tips and the site is a lot faster now.
Also, I dig in a lots in the “render blocking css” issues, tag div speed booster seem not to work for me, I tried to move with many ‘id’ but it didn’t work, but I found another way to use W3 Total Cache to combine the css file together and move it to the footer by this code:
<!– W3TC-include-css –> ( put it before wp_footer(); )
But still, there is fonts.googleapis.com/css ( there is around 3,4 files for the font Open + Sans and Roboto + Condensed ) which I can’t move using this method.
If by any chance, could you have a look and provide better method of removing those css file to footer?

I disabled Autoptimize and it loads faster. I find this strange.
having problem with our site :
error onindex page.
Warning: require_once(td_deploy_mode.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxx/public_html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 12
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘td_deploy_mode.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 12
note : using newspaper latest version.
getting error on page after put this code , at the end of the functions.php
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
“add_filter( ‘jpeg_quality’, create_function(”, ‘return 50;’ ) );”
i already replace the function.php with the original file. the problem is still same.
thanks
Hi zankkasz.
you can use Wp Rocket, its better than ABove the fold. On Wp rocket advanced options you can defer any js or css to get faster loads and better numbers on google speed
Hi
@soumitmis Sorry for the inconvenience created.
The solution I provided above it’s tested and works just fine, let me give you an example on my side: http://screencast.com/t/GjP1273uy – http://screencast.com/t/o3lJf27q As can be seen here the layout isn’t affected by the modification made in plugin’s file. Here is the plugins code that I used: http://pastebin.com/Jjb2sq3v
If this doesn’t work please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your site’s login details as we need to inspect this closer.
A few notification about Speed Booster plugin functionality:
The way Speed Booster improves site’s page speed it’s by moving some css and js resources, which usually are loaded in header, to the footer, such that the browser can loads the content faster. Please note that the plugin was intended for advanced user, it requires modifications on the code to add new resources (js and css) which are moved to the bottom of the page and conflicts may appear because some plugins may cause issues when you try to move their resources at the page bottom. To avoid conflicts we decided to keep the Speed Booster active only for a limited number of plugins, which are tested and works fine even if their resources are moved at page bottom. Checking a plugin’s behavior when Speed Booster is active can be done by adding it on allowed plugins list: http://screencast.com/t/dCMffJFq
@Novaque I have checked your site with: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fshowtopmodel.ru%2F&tab=desktop – http://screencast.com/t/h2pd7wKrhNh and there aren’t any reports regarding js/css resources. You still can improve your page speed by setting the leverage browser cache also optimizing images as it’s indicated in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thanks!
Am I write, that instead of the code from the manual ‘How to make the site faster’ – >
$this->move_style_to_footer(‘FILE-ID’);
in new speed booster we use ->
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue
If so, there is a question from me. I followed all the steps from manual, but PageSpeed Insights still shows me that in the header thare both js and css. My page http://showtopmodel.ru Could you please have a look and recommend.
Hello akpanpromise,
You can check out this speed tutorial in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
There are a number of other topics in our forum on this subject. Doing a quick search you will find lots of useful information.
One of our most active members has created his own speed tutorial here on the forum: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/
I hope this helps
Thank you!
I used Newspaper v6.3.3 and my website was ok in terms of pageload time and speed. But after updating the site does not load fast, and the images don’t immmediately load.
What are your suggestions to make it lighter and faster? the website is Factwide
Thanks
Many thanks forthe rapidity of your answer. There wasn’t a bug. I’d let checked mobile theme in jetpack.
I’ve also unchecked “leasyload” and I think it’s much faster even if the pagespeed test is bad 78/100 I’ll work on it.
Sincerely yours
Hello,
I have checked your site and you seem to have another problem right now: http://screencast.com/t/iv8lIRdrs
This looks similar to a problem “Jetpack” plugin creates for the mobile version of the site if an option is checked: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-manage-the-mobile-theme/
Make sure you check Jetpack settings first.
Check your other plugins as well maybe try to disable all of them except visual composer and check the speed again.
Regarding the slow image loading, you can try to disable “Lazyload” – http://screencast.com/t/pKnT9Q0FRsB
You can also read this guide in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Let us know how it goes!
Thank you!

Hi
You can move those files in footer using the speed booster plugin, for more details please check our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ at point 5.2: http://screencast.com/t/bL6YEr3Hx7
Thanks!
Hi,
1. This can be caused by Speed Booster plugin(if you use it) which move the css and js at the bottom of the page structure so that the page will load faster, this is why the theme default color appears first then changes, because of the cascading property of css. A solution is to change the color directly into css stylesheet file.
2. You can modify the default css for logo, for example please check this solution – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/logo-auto-re-sizing-problem-in-v6-3/#post-60395
Thanks!
Same with mine but I use WP Rocket and http://www.awesomebryner.com/i-spit-on-your-grave-3-vengeance-is-hers-in-the-new-poster/ right now shows 6 views after I looked at Google Analytics shows 8 pageviews and 4 uniques but the post showed 5 just as I loaded the page and went to 6.
So both the site and analytics are off. Not that I am too worried about it but it is off to me too. I clear cache constantly and probably really don’t need to as much as I do. I clear cache just cause the site seems slow and it speeds it up when clearing the cache and I know caching is supposed to speed the site up but it seems to be doing the opposite for my site.
Nothing to start any disagreement about caching. It just seems that no matter which plugin I use for caching it does the opposite on making site faster but if I disable the plugin then the site is really slow. Go figure.
I know its for non logged in users the caching and I am logged in. So I do know that.

https runs a little slower generally due to the overall issue of encryption, but many servers are now being optimized with things like mod_SPDY which is framework being baked into next versions of web, apache, etc.
We did see some hiccups on our main site last Dec. moving to https; basically in webmaster tools (search console) you end up with two sites as they STILL don’t have a “move site from http to https” function. The main weirdness was the huge drop of “inbound links/sites” going from one million plus to 250,000 or so … this is because the other sites are linking to http version of site — which is a different site in Googleverse —
However the rankings went back to normal on our main site after awhile.
Of course having a UX score of 100 on pagespeed insights didn’t hurt either!
The sitewide 301 redirect is simple enough, as is editing your dbase to change all the embedded image stuff from http to https …
There are just the general weirdness in the inbound link volume and the whacky issue of having two sets of sites listed in your Google console; one being live, one being deprecated.
I got a note about the deprecated site in Spring reminding me about mobile fixes … um, right Google — for the deprecated site? Duh.
Https is not as much a slowdown as it used to be as servers are faster, disks faster, most servers now have gigabit switches vs 10/100 (get better host if they only have 10/100).
🙂
Hi,
1. Here you can find the code if you want to modify it – http://screencast.com/t/irz4qdDIuOac Please note that if you want to do this only for specific spots you will have to add some conditions there.
2. Unfortunately this can be caused by Speed Booster plugin which move the css and js at the bottom of the page structure so that the page will load faster, this is why the theme default color appears first then changes, because of the cascading property of css. A solution is to change the color directly into css stylesheet file.
3. You can try to copy the style.css into the child theme and renamed to style2.css – http://screencast.com/t/AeKOlI8Y Then comment this line in child theme functions file and add the following code like this – http://screencast.com/t/EaXMLvWJof2
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style2.css', '', '6.1c', 'all' );
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('td-theme'), '6.1c', 'all' );
Also please complete the font path with ../Newspaper/ – http://screencast.com/t/BfolEMBg31FR

Any help you could give with share buttons?
Also are typekit fonts faster to load then Google fonts?
I’ve noticed majority of websites using typekit fonts like proxima-nova alot (including this forum)
Hi guys,
I have three questions. Number one:
I want to use a syncronous AdSense tag with a fixed size, but the theme keeps rescaling it like it’s an responsive asynconous Adsense tag. I really want to use the syncronous ad for the article top adspace to make it load faster. The resizing is not an issue, but the theme transforming it into an async tag is. How can I prevent the theme from editing a fixed syncronous Adsense tag? The rest of the article ads (inline and bottom) are used with async responsive tags which resize nicely!
Question two:
I really love the tagdiv speed booster plugin. There is only 1 problem: the plugin does not move my child theme style.css to the footer, which is good, but I still see the flickering at the beginning when the page loads. It somehow looks like the style.css (which has an @import rule to load the newspaper style.css) is still being loaded from the footer. When disabling the speed booster plugin the flickering stops and the page is loaded with the right style from the beginning. How can I use the speed booster plugin without this flickering thing, so I can still use it to move plugin’s CSS and JS to the footer?
Question three:
When using a child theme I somehow can’t minify the newspaper style.css without breaking the site layout. I’ve tried to manually copy the whole newspaper css into my child theme css and leave the newspaper css empty and then minify it, but that still does break the site. How can I minify the css while using a child theme without breaking the website’s lay out?
Thanks Chris!
