Hi,
First of all, thank you for your previous reply regarding Flex Blocks and background images.
I’m trying to optimize my website as much as possible for Google’s Core Web Vitals, especially on mobile, and I’d like to make sure I’m using Newspaper in the best possible way.
My website is:
https://actugeekgaming.com/
My latest PageSpeed report:
https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-actugeekgaming-com/aomr1s8vst?form_factor=mobile
At the moment my mobile score is around 50–60, and I’d like to improve it significantly while keeping Newspaper if possible.
Here is what I’ve already done:
Removed the homepage video background.
Replaced the hero section with a normal image.
Optimized all featured images.
Enabled WP Super Cache.
Enabled Jetpack CDN.
Upgraded to PHP 8.2.
Removed unnecessary plugins.
Added preload for the LCP image.
Contacted support regarding Flex Blocks using CSS background images.
I understand that Flex Blocks use background images by design, and you’ve suggested creating a custom Module Builder template using an element instead.
Before rebuilding my homepage, I would like to ask a few questions:
1) What are the official Newspaper recommendations for achieving the best possible Mobile PageSpeed score?
2) Which homepage modules or blocks are the most performance-friendly?
Are Flex Blocks still recommended for the first visible section, or would you recommend using a Module Builder layout instead?
3) Are there any Newspaper or TagDiv Composer settings that should be disabled to improve Core Web Vitals?
4) Do you have a performance optimization guide specifically for Newspaper?
5) Do you know of any websites using Newspaper that consistently achieve 85–90+ Mobile PageSpeed scores?
If so, could you share a demo or explain what makes them different?
6) Apart from replacing Flex Blocks, is there anything else inside Newspaper that commonly hurts LCP or overall mobile performance?
My goal isn’t simply to increase the PageSpeed score, but to build a fast, modern news website while continuing to use Newspaper.
Thank you very much for your advice!
Good morning, everyone.
I’d like to resume this conversation.
I have a situation – our entire website is quickly indexed by Google – due to the relevance and history of our content.
However, some content, when accessed from Google via (laptop/desktop), is being reported as AMP – in a mobile-friendly format.
Given this, as Chris suggested, I can set a criterion that all AMP content be reported to the normal, full page.
With this code: RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^amp$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1? [R=301,L]
can I redirect without compromising my SEO structure? Is there another alternative for cases of this nature? Thank you.

Hi,
1. There is no official minimum word count for Google AdSense approval. Quality, originality, and usefulness matter more than word count. However, most successful applicants publish: 600–1200
2. To create high-quality, valuable content using the Newspaper Theme, follow these best practices:
– Use clean, readable layouts – Choose simple templates and avoid clutter.
– Focus on in-depth, original content – Publish well-researched articles (800–1,500+ words).
– Optimize typography and spacing – Make text easy to read on desktop and mobile.
– Use high-quality images and media – Add relevant visuals to support your content.
– Structure properly – Use headings (H1, H2, H3), bullet points, and short paragraphs.
– Improve SEO settings – Optimize titles, meta descriptions, and internal linking.
– Ensure fast loading speed – Avoid too many ads or heavy plugins.
– The key is combining strong content with a clean, user-friendly design.
3. The TagDiv Composer will be used to create pages and templates, but not posts, for posts will be used the wordpress editor (Gutenberg or classic editor) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoGQ0d5kIBg
Thank you!
Hi there. Thank you for your response.
I see that specific plugin that you mention. However, I’m afraid that if I disable it, my site will no longer be mobile or AMP-friendly.
According to the plugin description: “The Mobile Theme makes your website lighter and faster on mobile. Together with the AMP plugin, it provides the best solution for your website.”
Is there another solution?
Thanks!
Hi,
Yes, the mobile version will be friendly, the site will use the responsive version for mobile, which can be adjusted using tagDiv Composer if needed.
Thank you!
Thank you, if I turn off/deactivate the mobile theme, would the site still open in mobile friendly?
Can anyone else in this forum address the issue with VPN blocking our videos when it is enabled? Again, try this example from a Mobile Device, with your VPN enabled: https://www.besthomegear.com/video/ego-electric-riding-mower/
This or any other video on our site will not open for us. But if you disable VPN, they all open.
Since nearly 70% of all mobile users employ VPN as we do, this is a huge issue, so we appreciate any guidance using Tagdiv “mobile friendly” theme.
Hi,
I am using the ‘Cali Sight’ edit of Newspaper theme, using the ‘tourisms’ function. However, when I activate the mobile theme, the posts do not contain any of the custom fields. Is there something I can do to improve this? I would like continuity across mobile and desktop.
Also, how can I remove the “tdcpt_tourism” from the url across all ‘tourisms’ to something more user friendly? Thank you!
Hello,
On the https://www.ardennetransitiondurable.eu site
I have a home page created with TagDiv Composer, which appears with only 3 items, whereas the desk page contains several articles.
However, in TagDiv Composer, the page appears correctly if I choose the “phone viewport” mobile icon.
Also, on a cell phone, the footer appears with the words “About us”.
The site’s other internal pages were generally created with the standard editor. The problem is that these pages appear empty in mobile mode. Is there an option for making content automatically appear mobile-friendly?
I’ve read the page: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/mobile-version-is-not-working-properly/
Thank you for your help,
Hey. I have a question can i have different home page style ? Other view from pc other view from mobile ? Making mobile more friendly and lighter but pc making good and high quality
Hi all, does tagdiv have a “pros and cons” table creating tool?
Or any recommended plugins for it ? Preferably something that looks artsy and mobile friendly (responsive)
We started building websites March of 1995; so have seen a lot come and go. AMP was a good idea if you had a busy site someplace with slow server, etc., but when Google basically ‘forced’ people to be on AMP for mobile search results (much like G+ was *required* for a local business listing), their “do no evil” mantra was dead and buried. So, they keep abandoning things (RIP, Feedburner), that I won’t invest in any of their tech unless no other choice. We were so happy to see AMP go the way of another bad idea, as far as I was concerned. The idea of having to waste huge amounts of time building second version of content was dumb when stuff like ‘print friendly’ pages have been around for 25+ years. Anyway… good riddance, I say 🙂

Please help 🙂
Hello,
I finished developing my website for desktop and started creating the mobile friendly version with the mobile theme. It looks great, but how can I show my pages that were made in the tagdiv editor on my computer? When I open a paga there is no information on my phone it shows a little blank white space. Or If I have redo the pages manually then how?
Hello,
I finished developing my website for desktop and started creating the mobile friendly version with the mobile theme. It looks great, but how can I show my pages that were made in the tagdiv editor on my computer? When I open a paga there is no information on my phone it shows a little blank white space. Or If I have redo the pages manually then how?
So, I tested the TagDiv Newspaper Default theme with the Google Mobile Friendly testing tool. Screenshot of the Google test result
The test result: https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly/result?id=8M2iKKmwbUhHvAHJwHagRQ
This shows the video Outside the Viewport, and this is what the Google Bot is seeing and resulting in errors.
If we can fix this issue, it will help countless other website owners and publishers as well.
Hello,
I used this tool ->https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly/result?id=I04WjV_Z_eCDuMiOgpqOvw
and the mobile page is friendly -> https://i.imgur.com/wx2l2nf.png
Also, you can check this topic https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/text-too-small-to-read-clickable-elements-too-close-together/ about a similar problem.
Thank you!
Hi razihaider, the Newsmag theme has only boxed version, if you try to change the width the elements will no longer look ok.
Also I checked the website and now looks to be mobile friendly – https://i.imgur.com/XdvP7GJ.png – https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly/result?id=ggVj8Vtd6OC_OIXfnGtDbg
Thank you!
Hello,
I have two questions:
In accordance with your recommendation, I downloaded the latest version of Newspaper, updated and updated plugins, but my antivirus still warns me about JS/Agent.RAN. I was recommended by ESET NORT 32 to look for the “iz.fromCharCode” string that is associated with a malicious JS script, but I honestly don’t know how to do that, so please help.
Furthermore, you recommended me to use only one builder because of plugin conflicts. WP BAKEY VISUAL COMPOSER is much more friendly to me, but if I turn off TAG DIV COMPOSER, I get a message that it is needed for TAGDIV MOBILE THEME and TAGDIV STANDARD PACK, and my page “falls apart”, becomes unreadable.
Thank you in advance for your help, Dubravko
Hi,
I have installed the theme and setup for PC but when I saw for mobile it wast mobile friendly so I installed the prebuilt in theme mobile plugin but still the site seems broken on mobile.
Hey.
What type of theme is it? this is very confusing.
1) ” https://prnt.sc/3ks24GFyBBBF ” this my website footer. But when I am checking on mobile I can see another footer. ” https://prnt.sc/YrbFiKpLXRXz ”
But Last time you told me that type mobile design is coming from ” tagDiv Mobile Theme ” this plugin. And I have deactivated that. But i am still facing problems when I am checking on mobile version. Although I have selected footer from theme option ” https://prnt.sc/DXhXFA23xJ5o “. I have only one footer template that I have created using your Cloud template CPT ” https://prnt.sc/TlclmNxHcqBn ”
2) Same template issue I am facing on blog single page. I have created my own single page design. But I am seeing other content and style in the mobile version.
So, you just let me know from where I can disable fully your mobile style. I want to show same design that I have created for desktop version.
All these problems in your theme are delaying my project’s completion. your theme is super customizable, but not custom-development friendly. So, I need this answer very urgently.
i purchase theme and installed it only for because its mobile friendly but its not working i read documentation follow all the steps but not working your kind support please thank you.
Ι own the above informative website which was created with my limited technical knowledge. I would like to know if my website has functional problems, if they are mobile friendly, and if I can use an application to send my posts to all social media with one button.
Furthermore I would like you to consider the following problem.
I did a test with a news post, which I shared in a single Facebook group. I made the exact same post after a while on a friendly site (trikalain.gr).
The difference in readership was significant. On trikalain.gr, the news was read by (341+24)=365 readers, while on trikalatroll.gr, at the exact same time, the exact same news, in the same group, only (49+8)=57 read it.
I don’t know what could be wrong, and I would like your opinion whether the second part of my site name (troll) is affecting the transmission of the posts to the engines (e.g., Facebook).
Also how do I deal with the fact that .facebook.com has a high ga:avgSessionDuration (1–30 Apr 2023 93.85% of your website traffic comes from the referral channel.)?
Hello!
These issues have been discussed already here, please check this thread: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/problem-with-the-mobile-friendly-issue/
