Hi,
you may want to read through the entire pagespeed topic (big sticky top of the forum), as all of this has been well covered there.
Generally you can’t do anything about things like addthis (although I did post a hack to load that in async mode), or jetpack – as those load on other servers and will show up as errors when you run pagespeed analytics. If it’s not loading off your site, it will likely show up as an error of some kind – this includes recaptcha, adsense ads, etc.
Not sure what you mean about looking at source code of theme vs source code of the page — the theme code is not rendered while the code on your site is rendered with all the stuff coming from dbase and external and queries, etc. If you’re trying to compare the “demo” to your pages, that may not work either. You should follow the instructions to setup the cache (remember you need to CLEAR cache every time you change things like htaccess, new plugin, etc.), the speed booster, the page expires time.
For realistic speed – test without addthis, adsense, or jetpack. Then put that stuff back and decide how much impact you want to have on your site. I use addthis for social buttons on one site, and then the theme stuff on another. I don’t use jetpack as it’s slow and I hate loading stuff from a mothership that isn’t my own. I limit number of ads on page (4 ads will be slow if images!) – try loading text only ads, to speed up page!
But a *lot* of this, if not all, has been covered in the pagespeed topic. So, best to start there, and remember it’s virtually impossible to get above 91-93 in desktop with a busy site, lots of pix, wordpress theme, external stuff. Mobile will be slower, no matter what you do. 76+ isn’t too awful right now. 80+ is goal. 65 would be awful. To really optimize for mobile requires making a version of page which most newspaper sites won’t do, and that is mostly text, one picture, minimal navigation, etc.
Google sadly doesn’t differentiate from “tablet friendly” and “iphone friendly.” SO, I’ve stopped crying over trying for a perfect score on phones — it’s not my primary audience. Tablets are, then desktop.
Anyway… that might not help. But
1) set cache to page cache ONLY
2) don’t use any minification stuff until you have speed booster plugin working right
3) make sure your htaccess has expires headers
4) make sure your web server is doing gzip/deflate
5) optimize your images prior to upload; if possible use my hack to increase compression level for thumbnails (or use smush.it or similar; I prefer to edit my functions.php file to change compression to “50”)
6) run your speed tests
7) turn off anything you don’t absolutely NEED if you’re seeking highest score
8) test and retest
THEME UPDATES:
I find it’s best to fully over-write the old theme with NEW theme folder each time, via FTP. I’ve had mixed results with “patching” over the past 10 years with WP sites, and more often than not they break somewhere due to permissions.
Frankly, it’s good habit, since you can also download a full snapshot via FTP before you do an update, to ensure you have a full snapshot. I date and RAR mine here for archival purposes.

Hi,
I know that you can change a header menu item to an icon. I have two questions:
1) How can you add more menu icons to choose from?
2) How can you modify it so that the icon, or maybe even a small image, will be shown beside the menu text? This is so an icon and the menu text will be visible at the same time.
Thanks.
Hi,
Add this CSS in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
.td-full-logo .td-grid-wrap {
padding-top: 0px !important;
}
.td-full-logo .container-fluid {
padding: 0px !important;
}
.header-style-3 .td-logo img {
padding-top: 0px !important;
}Thanks!
Hi,
Use different header style like: http://screencast.com/t/STLUusl1p4D
Also if you want to hide top menu change from here: http://screencast.com/t/yc8k1LR63CfU
Hope this help.
Thanks for the message!
Hi Radu,
thanks for your answer. ‘AdRotate’ or ‘Simple Ads Manager’ (which I use) can not afford this. The settings in theme are always sidewide – either the header ad for phone is enable or disable. 🙁
I have a big problem!
Adsense ads disappeared left: http://canal311.net/whang-od-la-tatuadora-kalinga/
I need to work ASAP!
Initially worked well …
When configured the header ad worked well for a while and then stopped working …
After the announcement of sidebar configured and it worked well for a while, then stopped working too …
Same with the announcement configured in the post …
I would greatly appreciate to give me a help! Please!
Hi Marius,
I’ve made the same thoughts as @jf77 and ask how I can manage that. For example: an advertiser wants a leaderboard banner on desktop and pad devices but not on mobile phone. At the same time another client wants a small leaderboard banner on top (header ad 320×50 px) only on mobile phones.
In other words, I want to sell a small leaderboard banner (header ad) for mobile phones always additional and/or individually. That’s why makes an additional slot for mobile phones sense.
Thank you!

Hi, what I’m trying to do is make the Logo fit the hole (Yellow) area at the top. I’ve tried to find the CSS coding myself but I’m rather lost.
I tried to use the
HEADER ALIGNMENT UP/DOWN
Move the header up/down (ex. -10) help with the placement but doesn’t seem to help.
Hi,

Placing Header Menu at top is missing from theme.
Please help.
Its Very Urgent.

Ashish
Hi,
Do you have an old version. Why you don’t make update to latest?
The old version have in Theme customizer a section for static ads in header. Or you can add the code directly in files, check in parts folder.
Thanks for the message!
Hi
Ok, thank you. This can help me in a first time but this is not really “User-friendly”.
It could be a good idea to add this option in the future. If you can, and if you have time 😉
Hi,
1. Yes, as you can see in the CSS above is only for some modules, depends of which module you use on category, because the theme have 11 modules available.
You can inspect it with Firebug from Firefox or Chrome inspector to see what selector you have there. Do you have some CSS experience? What Module do you use for categories?
Use the same CSS provided above and chenge it for different module like .td_mod8 or .td_mod 9 or…etc
2. Use this CSS
.post header h1 {
font-weight: bold;
}3. That data can be aligned via CSS is from a line-height, if you give me a link to see the issue i will provide you the right CSS.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can use it without title and use this HTML that is the exact same header with link
<h4 class="block-title">
<a href="#">your title</a>
</h4>Thanks!
hi,
use this css
div.td-header-menu-wrap {
display: block !important;
}here: http://screencast.com/t/OTdjLw8aIZ
but if yoi have stuff on that bar will squeeze all together.
Thanks for you message.
Radu A.
Hi,
1. DO you mean the logo and ad section? you can hide it with this CSS
.td-header-bg {
display: none;
}Add it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
2. That is in latest version, you have to update to latest version 3.3
Thanks for your message!
Hi,
@dadtrox that bar is from WordPress and that bar and our menu is with fixed position. What you can do is to hide the admin bar using plugins like: Hide Admin Bar or with this method http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-disable-wordpress-admin-bar-for-all-users-except-administrators/
Thanks!
Hi,
You can’t add it in menu because that works as a Widget.
You can show the top menu on mobile, now is hidden, you can show it adding this CSS in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-header-menu-wrap {
display: block;
}
}Hope this help!
Thanks for your message!
i want to see random post in my header ad
I have done everything as it says. Add code “add_filter( ‘jpeg_quality’, create_function( ”, ‘return 50;’ ) );” and run reg.thumb plugin. After that I run g. pagespeed, but the score was the same as previous mobile:52 / desktop:67 and I still get the message about optimazing images. It looks that they still weren’t optimized.
But then I tried another thing. I changed my expire headers in .httaccess with your expire headers you have posted in this post: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/what-is-your-googlespeed-value/ and WOW!!! after I run g. pagespeed test I saw complitely diferent score: mobile:72 / desktop:82 — THAT IS FANTASTIC FOR ME!!! (I am on shared hosting for 5$ a month) — and when I test my page speed with google I have everything enabled and all ads on the site, so that new score is fantastic for me!!!
Christopher THANK YOU!!! 🙂
It might be useful to put a link on the header block “text with the title”.
How can I do this?
Thank’s
Hi,
Two questions:
1) If I wanted to hide the header and just have the main menu (the tacky menu), can this be done just with some custom css?
2) What’s the new social sharing plugin are you using on your demo site? I like the new bigger buttons.
Thanks!
Hello, i´ve got same problem in my website, admin bar come over the menu. How can if fix it? Thanks in advance.

Salut,
pluginul speed busterul e facut si pentru page speedul din google, practic muta toate fisierele javascript si css din header in footer, de aceea scoate un scor bun in google pagespeed.
aici e un thread ( https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagespeed/ ) unde mai multi useri vorbesc despre pagespeed, cred ca tear putea ajuta.
Thanks for you message.
