Hi,

We’re currently facing serious performance issues on our website, which uses the Newspaper theme and TagDiv modules. Over the past few weeks, we’ve noticed a significant slowdown specifically related to the loading of TagDiv components.

Our server infrastructure is robust (o2switch – 48GB RAM, NVMe disks, high-performance CPUs), and everything runs smoothly with a clean WordPress installation. However, with the Newspaper setup, we’re seeing 5 to 7 seconds of loading time on both the frontend and the WordPress admin, which is not acceptable—especially for SEO.

To give you more context:
•⁠ ⁠Production: https://devenirbilingue.com
•⁠ ⁠Staging: https://new.devenirbilingue.com (fresh WP install + duplicated DB from prod)

We’ve already tried the following:
•⁠ ⁠Installed Query Monitor: SQL queries are fast (< 0.5s), so it’s not a database bottleneck.
•⁠ ⁠Tested with caching (W3 Total Cache and WP Super Cache): helps when cached, but uncached pages are still very slow.
•⁠ ⁠Deactivated all plugins: no improvement.
•⁠ ⁠Switched to the parent theme and even to default themes: the issue seems to lie deeper in the TagDiv components.

This performance degradation started around June 2025. Before that, everything was running smoothly under the same setup.

We’re happy to provide access to both environments if needed.

Would you be able to help us troubleshoot this issue?

Attached is a screenshot with few query monitor screenshots:

Another random page. The red part is external queries but all errors on them are .04s so not the issue.

Thank you in advance.

Hi there at tagdiv,

I am troubleshooting my website https://regioonline.nl, a newssite with 64 subpages and 50.000+ posts. The databaseservice mariadb gets killed every day a few times when working in the backend. At first I was using a VPS with 16 CPU core and 60GB RAM, and now a shared hosting with 24 CPU core and 16GB RAM. In both cases the database issue is persistent, only on the (unmanaged) VPS the mariadb.service was not automaticly restarted (had to restart the server). I had someone managing that VPS for me, but he got another job (so I moved to shared hosting). Now I am more up to speed about use a Linux VPS (Debian 12) with Plesk and SSH, but still figuring things out before moving the site back again.

The site has a big database (3.2GB) with the main table being postmeta (2.7GB), serving all images from Google Drive through a plugin (WP Media Folder+addon).

With the use of Code Profiler and Query Monitor I am troubleshooting for main issues. All my (sub)pages generate about 459 Query’s per page of witch 416 are from td-composer (see https://prnt.sc/lwOgOlsnsEf2

The page I measured this on was https://www.regioonline.nl//regio-tilburg/, but all (sub)pages (see https://regioonline.nl/regiopagina/) are with the same result. The homepage is even a bit larger

On the mentioned page of Tilburg I disabled all Ajax pagination and block caching.

Using any caching solution (be it with plugins like WP Rocket or WP Supercache, or using serverside caching options like Varnish, Redis Object Cache or OPcache) will make the issue of the database server getting killed a lot worse. Ofcourse tried every combination possible, but only not caching anything, reduces the issue to a few times a day, instead off every 20 minutes or so.

Is this a question of too many blocks on a page (disabled block caching for Flex Blocks aswell) so td-composer generate that many query’s? What is the best option to reduce this to an acceptable level, not killing the databaseservice every time?

Do I need to tune down the number of topics/blocks on every page? Do I need to reduce the number of pages?

Good to now that every menuitems has it’s own seperat link. I also tried the deactivate all (sub)pages except the homepage and made links to to automatic generated category pages of every item, but even did not solve the issue.

Hope you can help me a few steps further, or can give any advise on how to proceed. If I tune down on settings, blocks and pages, is this info removed from the database (mainly postmeta) also? If not, how can I solve that?

Sorry for the bloat of information, but I am hoping to make the issue clear. I know this is not only a theme issue, so I have already contacted several pluginbuilders also. This helped already in reducing databasequery’s.

Hi, I’m using the Big Grip Flex 9 module on my home page to display the latest main articles.

I would like to know if there is a way to use this module and insert a live video from Twitch every time we start broadcasting?

Many thanks

Hi Newspaper team,
I’m using your template on this page:
https://xingbow.com/sao-paulo-betting-operators-launch-new-union/

However, whenever I try to edit the inner page, it redirects me back to the homepage instead of opening the page editor.

Is this a bug? Could you please help me check and advise how to fix this issue?

Hi,
Could you please tell me if the main image slider (Flex Block 2) on newspaper_kattmar_pro can be set to automatically advance to the next image every x seconds? I see there are next/previous buttons, but I would also like the transitions to happen automatically. Or should I use RevSlider in that case?
Thank you!

Hi,
We’re currently experiencing an issue with displaying multiple categories on our website. We’re using the Big Grid Flex 5 module on the homepage and intend to showcase 7 categories/tags within the grid. However, we couldn’t find any settings that allow us to show more than the default number of categories.

Each blog post has multiple categories assigned but it only shows one category as a label on the grid.

Thanks

Hello, I would like to add an html file (ad banner) and associated folders (photos etc.) to my homepage with the tagdiv composer. What do I have to do to upload the folders and which shortcodes do I have to use? Thank you very much for your support. Christiane

Hi, I asked this question a few weeks ago, but no one has resolved the issue.
a few weeks ago my website mediashotz.co.uk – which is a news site covering the media, marketing and creative sectors – started playing up with posts not displaying correctly at all. I hasn’t been dealt with and today the homepage also started not presenting correctly.
I called my ISP who confirmed that there is an issue with the theme I am using – ie Newspaper – which is causing this issue. They suggested there is some kind of bug in the latest release of it.
I had purge the cache in the WordPress area, but it’s not good enough. I need to know that the site is always working, before my clients call me and tell me, which is just embarrassing.
I would include photos here, but it doesn’t seem like this space allows for photo submissions. How do we talk to someone at TagDiv about having this issue fixed permanently?
I paid for this theme and I need it to work. Otherwise we just go elsewhere right?
