Hello,
Please make the modification in the minified js as now the theme uses the min js version. Minify the cj you modified and replace the min js code with the new code.
You can see which file is being used in your page source: https://www.screencast.com/t/Ruh9SsvLEJ
Thank you!

Hi friends, I have issues about speed of site (despite dedicated server),
in particular I cannot: enable gzip, minify Javascript, leverage browser setting, minify css, despite dozens of attemps of different scripts in .htaccess . My provider say server is well configuration. We already use WP Supercache.
Said this, can you to suggest a plugin “Newspaper compatible” than can make enable gzip, minify Javascript, leverage browser setting, minify css, automatically?
Thank you,
greetings
Mattia
(ps: I looked for TAGDIV Speedbooster – as I have read in forum – but I haven’t in my installation of Newspaper)
My Javascript and Css is already minified and that was done through my hosting service but it doesn’t minify my HTML.
Chris can you tell me how to manually compress the main theme template.
Hello huynh101,
1)To make these changes, you should use a bit of CSS code. Try the code below and place it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS Area.
The code is ->
.td_video_playlist_column_3 .td_wrapper_player{
margin-left: 341px;
}
.td_video_playlist_column_3 .td_container_video_playlist{
left: 0;
}
The result is here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/WqIWeY70x
2)You should make some changes in tagdiv_theme.min.js according to the following topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/disable-related-videos-in-youtube-playlist/ To be simple, you have to edit the tagdiv_theme.js, uncomment the rel: 0 according to above topic and then, using an online tool for minification create the minify version of this folder and replace it with the content of tagdiv_theme.min.js Clear all the caches and check the results. Should work as expected.
Thanks for your understanding!
This them is great and I am super satisfied with it. The only problem is that I can’t find a way to minify my HTML code without having to use a plugin like auto optimise.
Hello maga0000,
It seems to be a little change in our theme, regarding on theme’s js. Please notice that at the moment, the theme uses the tagdiv_theme.min.js file and in the past, the file used by the theme was tagdiv_theme.js. So, you have two possibilities to make these changes. The first one would be to change the file used by the theme from tagdiv_theme.min.js to tagdiv_theme.js and this change can be done from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/6spI2VZU and the second one would be to minify the tagdiv_theme.js with such online minification tool and replace it with the theme min js file. (overwrite it). So, if you are using the Cloudflare you should purge all the files because the CSS and Js files are cached. So, after you have made these changes at the theme’s core files you should use the following custom CSS and place it in Theme panel > Custom CSS area.
The code is ->
.td-category-siblings .td-category {
height: auto !important;
}
.td-category-siblings .td-subcat-dropdown {
display: none;
}
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Best way to do custom CSS, btw; is simply add to bottom of the style.css and minify; don’t place in the theme panel.
Also, if your host supports mod_pagespeed there is a nifty filter to remove comments, empty spaces and line breaks at the server level.
Not perfect answer, but that’s what I do. 🙂
Hi!
Been using the theme for a month and it’s been great regarding functions and customization. The only thing I’ve been really fighting with is performance, as the theme generates lots and lots of inline CSS & JS instead of having main cores on files which I can compress and cache.
So far I’ve done all the optimizations recommended, using WP Cache and also Fast Minify. They work as intended, however there’s one thing they can’t fix: Inline code.
The Theme Panel puts all the custom fonts, colors and customizations in inline code instead of storing them in a file, making it impossible to compress, minify and cache those files, while also render those customizations last.
Is there a way I can easily modify the code (I’m a dev), without breaking updates, for putting those customizations on a file instead of inline?
And as a suggestion, reducing the inline code both for the Theme Panel customizations and for the Blocks would be a huge performance hit on this theme. Even on dedicated servers it’s not loading as fast.
Regards and thanks

After installing and configuring Fast Velocity Minify, chrome loads my site but other browsers and mobile phones give white page. I changed the theme and the browsers loaded well, is there any help please. Thank you
Hi,
1. Contact Form should not be considered render blocking. By default the Speedbooster plugin will move the plugin resources in the footer, this is tested and it should work properly
– https://www.screencast.com/t/djvztImzh
This is a useful guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
2. When the Speedbooster plugin is active, a minified theme JS is served, for CSS you could try this solution for example
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tip-how-to-easily-minify-your-css-without-breaking-your-site/
3. Those images are displayed when there is no thumbnail for the post. If the posts have featured images set, they will be replaced by thumbnails created from them.
There are many useful speed optimization guides here on the forum, here are some of them

Thanks
Hi,
I’ve enabled a cache plugin, but the image gallery works better as before.
I wanted to know which js or css files use the image gallery to work, so to exclude it from cache and minify.
I hope I have been clear, look forward to your news, good work
Hello,
1. Google keeps giving me this (only) render block error below. I activated Speedbooster and made sure it was not disabled by any other plugin. It didnt make any difference and keeps giving me this error.
https://www.dagonline.nl/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css?ver=4.9
How can i solve this?
2. Also, what is the best way to minify JS, CSS and HTML with the Newspaper theme?
3. http://www.webpagetest.org keeps saying i need to optimize the 2 files below. What is the best way to do this? I use Short Pixel to optimize my images.
