Check your cache/minify plugin.
I had same issue with some heavy optimizations settings set
Disable minify both css and js
https://share.getcloudapp.com/JruDEkNm
Hi canindia1, I see that this is coming from cache plugin, is possible to have some options to minify css and js, please make a test, disable the cache plugin and check to see if the problem persist, if not, please check the settings from your cache plugin.
Let me know the results!
Eureka! I changed the minify rules to async and the button became touchable again
as you can see https://mapadocapital.com/
Thank you guys for your support!
Tnx topmagazin. Rocket loader was disabled and I dont use Wordfence (iThemes security has no http header settings). I kept playing with Cloudflare settings and nothing made a difference. Than 1 week later it just magically fixed itself ?
So for anyone potantially getting this issue, the correct Cloudflare settings are:
– auto minify everything
– brotli on
– rocket loader off
Consider this issue resolved.
Hello,
I am using single post auto loading feature on my responsive website. Meanwhile, auto loading stops working on mobile after 24 hours. The loading icon keeps spinning, but the next post doesn’t show up. When I clear the cache and refresh, it starts working again. However, it is working smoothly on the desktop. In addition, I use Litespeed cache, and CloudFlare CDN. On Litespeed cache, I have only Js minify option enabled, and on CloudFlare, rocket loader option is enabled. I am using very limited optimization features, but the problem still exists. I appreciate it if you help me to solve it.
Best Regards

Hello @thefeedski !
As you can see here on GTmetrix, the page speed issue that you are facing https://gtmetrix.com/reports/gamerhabitat.com/qTfBDqr9/ are caching and minifying related.
Thank you !
If you use a caching plugin like WP Rocket, it can minify. ANother great site is Unused-CSS (dot) com as it will run a full analysis of your site and take out all the code you’re not using so you just download their CSS file and replace the one you have with that one. That will easily get your Unused CSS score way down.
JS is much harder as many plugin use that.
Hello,
I’m trying to optimize my mobile theme since it’s scoring poorly on PageInsights. I have opportunities to eliminate render blocking resources, removed unused JS, and unused CSS. When looking at the files that it’s telling me to fix, they all seem to be ‘Minify’ something or another. Does anyone know what this is and is it important?
mydomaind.com/wp-content/cache/minify/14f92.css
mydomain.com/wp-content/cache/minify/84b1b.css
mydomain.com/wp-content/cache/minify/818c0.js
mydomain.com/wp-content/cache/minify/6d26d.js
mydomain.com/wp-content/cache/minify/14f92.css
Are the files they’re saying are slowing things down. If the file is needed, is it okay to have those load in the footer or should I keep them how they are when first installing the theme?
Thanks!
Hello there,
My website https://techelucidations.com/
is loading very slow even when I am using newspaper theme prebuilt pro demo and also after that customising it.I am using very less plugins too as compared to other competitors like beebom.com who also uses Newspaper theme.
I am using Hostinger’s WordPress Hosting which has Litespeed cache preinstalled and the hosting is based on litespeed and I also got the premium features with it on using litespeed cache on my website.But when I try to minify js or css or html the website doesn’t load properly as customised.The header messes up or anything which is not ideal.The page optimization don’t work the way it is supposed to.
SO PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS.My pagespeed insights score is very very low even though I am using Mobile theme with AMP.And I am also serving images in Webp and in the lowest size possible and Also using the Low quality image placeholder in the Litespeed console.
I want to know how should I speed up my website?Should I change the caching plugin because I have premium access to this litespeed plugin but when I will switch I will have to use the Basic free version of that new plugin.Or is there any way to use both at the same time?
please get back to me.
Hi,
It looks that the icon for TikTok is not loaded like the rest of them -> https://i.imgur.com/xqnqdsO.png please make sure that this is not a cache or minify problem -> https://prnt.sc/11ac7j6
Thank you!
Server is a dedicated 8GB VPS Centos 7 running only this one website. PHP 7.4 redis caching, your recommended wp super cache settings, SSDs, http 2, brotli along with other tweaks implemented here: https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/#fix-admin-ajax-slow-problem
Thanks for your time though. We should have read the lower star reviews prior to purchase over on Envato. Most all of them mention page speed or coding issues. I’m seeing if I can’t defer some of the scripts from loading and minify some css and js to improve the page speed some. If not will have to switch to a lighter theme. Thanks again for your time though.
Did you recognize that the containers for the header and the main-content are shifting around when they are loaded? There is always a high CLS in the Extension for Web Core Vitals in Chrome Browser when the site is loaded for the first time that appears when the site is reloaded. I racked my brain what the reason for that weird behaviour could be, but it seems that the main reasons for the high CLS are:
1.) div.vc_row.tdi_60_360.td-ss-row.wpb_row.td-pb-row https://imgur.com/a/XTGGoXf
It has a cumulative score of: 0.08985 and the element resizes from load to display several times (10 times!!):
Moved fromLocation: [192,1078], Size: [1395×9341]
Moved toLocation: [203,1078], Size: [1395×9341]
Moved fromLocation: [192,0], Size: [1395×650]
Moved toLocation: [203,0], Size: [1395×650]
Moved fromLocation: [222,1040], Size: [1335×9379]
Moved toLocation: [233,1040], Size: [1335×9379]
Moved fromLocation: [0,10456], Size: [1790×503]
Moved toLocation: [0,10456], Size: [1800×503]
Moved fromLocation: [192,710], Size: [1395×330]
Moved toLocation: [203,710], Size: [1395×330]
https://imgur.com/a/xO2Dr9t It seems that the header as at the beginning of the loading a really weird position (the red block in the picture).
2.) the header element: div.vc_row.tdi_25_c64.wpb_row.td-pb-row
The CLS score is about 0.09484
Moved fromLocation: [203,0], Size: [1395×650]
Moved toLocation: [192,0], Size: [1395×650]
Moved fromLocation: [203,1078], Size: [1395×48]
Moved toLocation: [192,1078], Size: [1395×48]
Moved fromLocation: [0,643], Size: [1779×90]
Moved toLocation: [0,643], Size: [1779×90]
Moved fromLocation: [203,710], Size: [1395×330]
Moved toLocation: [192,710], Size: [1395×330]
Moved fromLocation: [233,1040], Size: [1335×85]
Moved toLocation: [222,1040], Size: [1335×85]
Can this be fixed? What is the reason for that CLS? First I thought it could be the Merge+Minify+Refresh Plugin but there is no change if it is deactivated or not.
What is the reason for such a weird behaviour?
Thanks for help!

Hello!
It is recommended not to minify the HTML when you are using the TagDiv Composer and Cloud Library because it might break them just like it happened in your case.
For the live version of the website, there shouldn’t be any problem with that.
If you use a plugin to minify your HTML, then check for an option to not minify the HTML for admins and only for guests.
Hope that helps you!
Thank you!
Hi, Bettina!
One doubt about minifying HTML, that was the culprit of the issue: when I minify it, it brakes the connection with tagdiv servers, but it does not brake my live website functionality.
Is it ok to minify the HTML on my live site and unminify it only when I need to use the TD Composer and TD Cloud Library?
SLOW… i did everything but i couldnt change gtmetrix points to up. i use your theme and mobil theme plugin. i use wp-rocket loader for css vs minifying.. and imagify for image optimization. i didnt understand what im doing wrong. GTMETRIX : 35 point for performance and saying largest paintiful paint 5-6 secs ! i delete featured image which size 1200×675. and added 696X392 (size of td-composer said on homepage big grid flex) nothing change…
note: when i activated amp plugin scores are more slower …. :(( could you help me please for this ?
Hello !
Please note that Fast Velocity Minify plugin is not a tested plugin by our developers. You will have to set it up and tweak it in order to fit your website but at the moment there is no guide for this.
Thank you !
Hi calin, looks like it was update from the Fast Velocity Minify plugin.
Here you can see similar complaints after the latest update of the plugin: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/fast-velocity-minify/
Now, please suggest the best setting for this plugin that will not break our Newspaper design?
Hello, @gumball44
1.) Have you ever tested WP Fastest Cache? What is your experience with it? Especially compared to WP Super Cache.
I have never used WP fastest Cache plugin. I believe the fonts flash you are seeing is because of this plugin. I will suggest using WP Rocket plugin or WP Super cache plugin + Autoptimize Or Fast Velocity Minify.
For me WP Rocket working really well with these settings: https://www.infophilic.com/wp-rocket-settings-cloudflare/
2.) You say that Cloudflare can be used. Is the free version useful here too?
Yes, Cloudflare can be useful when you configure it correctly. For the blog site, free version is enough. But if you want more speed, then upgrading to PRO is a good choice.
3.) What is your experience with Gzip? Is it possible that Newspaper-Theme does not work with GZIP?
Yes, I am using GZIP with a Newspaper theme, and it works without any issue.
4.) By activating plugins my database has grown a lot. In my database there is a lot of data about plugins which I don’t use anymore. Does a large database damage the loading speed?
Definitely, having large options table in database affects site loading speed. You can consider using WP Sweep plugin to keep your site’s database clean. You can also reduce size of tables by removing Orphans options from tables.
5.) A question about the part “Removing Font Awesome”. With the code snippet only the essential icons are loaded. But which icons are essential? All the ones I select in the theme?
This is no more part of Newspaper theme optimization.
6.) You write that there is also a funcion.php for the mobile theme.
Is it possible to overwrite it with a child theme or do you have to add new entries after every update?
For example: Removing Emojis, Removing Font Awesome, or Preload Newspaper fonts.
Unfortunately, you can not overwrite mobile theme’s functions.php file using child theme. Hope, tagDiv team will fix this soon.
7.) There are several ways to add custom CSS. Where do you think it makes the most sense? In the Theme panel under Custom Code? Or rather under WordPress Design > Customizer?
Well, that is completely your choice. Adding CSS in theme panel or customizer will add it as inline CSS code on page. I prefer adding them to child theme’s style.css.
I hope you will find this helpful.
Dear Tagdiv
Could you please provide a definitive answer on when this issue will be resolved? We run a big site on the Medical theme and use the standard plugin. Suggesting we change to a pro theme on a live site isn’t a solution unless you are offering to redo pages and pages of different templates we have built.
Our page loads speed nearly trebled after installing 10.3.8 and the new update hasn’t resolved this. It is costing us on Google and I am certain that most of your other customers are facing a similar situation. We now experience page loads of up to 13s on some pages.
If you have an alternative workaround in the meantime that is actually practical, please share it and I don’t mean caching and minifying scripts. It doesn’t impact the issue. Alternatively, I’d like a definitive answer on how long this will take to resolve. Obviously, if you continue selling this product as is, you are selling a defective product to the public, as it will seriously compromise any website that uses your older templates. Lightweight and speedy is all that counts today.
I would also recommend strongly that you send out a notification to all your customers about the issue, rather than leaving them running about in the dark trying to figure out why their sites are suddenly so resource intensive and slow to load.
I look forward to your response.
Regards
Robert Turner, Medika.life
Fkvs, You can put it on a rocketship, it isn’t going to make the slightest difference, trust me, we have tried pretty much everything. It’s a scripting issue that arose with 10.3.8 and they still haven’t resolved it. It simply kills the page load speed when the page is served and you can minify all you like, move things to the footer, it still sucks.
Some of our pages, the front page included are now taking between 5 and 9s to render, depending on how we optimize. It’s an issue Tagdiv needs to resolve and they’ll have to backtrack to see what they did in the November update that stuffed things up. A solution is possibly trying to roll back to release 10.3.7 but that also now has issues thanks to Woocommerce.
Hi, I checked with the health and troubleshoot plugin, and it’s the fault of the caching plugin, maybe due to some settings, I am using w3tc plugin.
I cleared the cache and disabled js minify, but that too didn’t work.
I will provide all the admin credentials on the email address provided above.
Thank you.
@Vlad This is part of the directory of my wordpress setup. It is not an issue of the unminify option!!! So where I can set the listener to passive?
Greetings Kathrin
Hello !
The one presented by you is not a path from Newspaper Theme. This may be an issue from the unminify option you have used.
Thank you !
