You need to optimize your site, theme can’t do that for you.
Did you read the documentation and re-render your images to fit the new layouts/modules? Are you using an optimization plugin for images, or re-rendering after setting lower compression in your wp-config file?
I don’t work here. But I have 90+ on my sites with no caching plugin.

JetPack is hosted by WordPress; it’s not part of the theme; so issues with JetPack are not related to the theme, or any theme. It’s slow and a resource hog, and generally best to be avoided unless you have no choice.
Good luck!

What is going on? My old theme was at least an B or C
I use WP-optimize every day.
Thank you Bogan, but we are only using performance oriented plugins, like Cloudflare, Yoast and AMP
So, we just installed:
* tagDiv Speed Booster
* Remove Query Strings From Static Resource
* Imagify
And the load is sightly better
May I have your opinion about also use some extra plugins like:
* Use Google Libraries
* WP-Optimize
* Fast Velocity Minify
Thank you
We had major CPU issues on our old system with Visual Composer, and found the TD Composer solution the best fit for us (we were using old ‘shim’ solution originally). We’d get spikes going from .9 to 72 !~ …
Several things
a) make sure you have PHP 5.6 or higher. 5.4 and below are *dogs* and should no longer be used for WordPress. PERIOD.
b) doubly make sure you have at least 64M allocated to WP in both your host settings and in your wp-config.php file (we do 128M and above, but another story)
c) make sure you periodically optimize your DB with WP-Optimize of similar
d) limit queries “per page” — for example, no more than 5 “block items” per page
Might help.

Hi,
Page speed optimization has to be done by you, this depends of many factors. There are many tutorials here on the forum on this matter, that you can follow. Some examples
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/score-100100-pagespeed-with-newspaper-wordpress-theme/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspaper-theme-speedify-your-website/
You can install this caching plugin with the recommended configuration
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
You can use Cloudflare to speed your website
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
There is also this guide to further optimize loading speed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
When testing teh pagespeed, it is better to do it without having google ads and only essential plugins activated. Some plugins can have a negative impact regarding page speed.
Thanks
Hello mskssk,
Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized. Notice that is not a simple task and if you do not have any experience in this regard you will do not bring good results for the theme. Also, notice that we have a speed optimization tutorial but this is addressed only to advanced users. So, if you follow the steps which are presented in this tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ you can increase the page speed loading and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because the speed optimization services are not covered by our support policy, as you can read here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/ Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ regarding on dedicated server to fit to our requirements. For an example, you should check our demo preview because this website is optimized.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
Yes it is normal. You can have THE most powerful host out there if the page speed optimization is not done properly.
Page speed has to be optimized. Work has to be done on it to work properly. There is no magical speed button to press and have great speed unfortunately :).
You will have to invest time and effort into it.
Please follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Please also read this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
And another helpful topic:

I hope this helps.
Thanks
Thanks Chris!
I installed wp-optimize and deleted transients. Likely a good thing, but didn’t fix my problem. Also resaved permalinks.
thanks again
Might not help but resave permalinks to reset htaccess, delete transients wth wp-optimize… i use this combo to clear stuck stuff and changes to custom rss etc.
Also note PHP 5.3 is very very old also, and new version of WP is not optimized to work with it.
https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
From WP 4.8 onward, it’s optimized for PHP 7, but 5.6.30 would be *highly* recommended if you are running latest WP and cannot start migration to PHP7.
We use PHP 5.6.30 with opcache which is the closest you can get to PHP 7 without actually using it, but retain some backward compatibility while migrating, and planning to move fully to PHP 7 for 2018.
Seriously — 5.3 is ancient, 5.4 is a dog. 5.6 and above is the only thing you *should* be using with WP 4.8 and higher.
You can get up to 30% improvement in PHP speed, and stop those bizarro old CPU spikes from 5.2./5.3 era.
Here are some interesting benchmarks from way back in 2014; and 5.6 has improved since then since some of the work on v7 is backported to 5.6 for security/compatibility:
https://lornajane.net/posts/2014/php-5-6-benchmarks
(( I don’t work here; but we did big PHP upgrade last Sept., and *wow* what a difference. ))
Generally the reason most savvy WP developers recommend WP Super Cache is that’s it’s made by the same folks who make WordPress and used on some of the largest websites like TIME.com, etc.
So, while there are other choices (we don’t use a caching plugin, since we have dedicated server, and prefer using optimized pages, with PHP 5.6 with MariaDB and opcache. And now moving to PHP7 + http/2.
So, it makes sense for TagDiv to recommend the same caching solution actually used by WordPress for their own sites, million dollar clients, etc. as it will *always* work with any proper WP setup, while other plugins don’t stay up to date, may not work, get abandoned, etc.
It’s your site, so you can do whatever you wish — however, it’s impossible for a theme dev to provide support for 10 different cache plugins, where caching has nothing directly to do with the theme itself. So, TagDiv use it for their own sites/demos, as does WordPress.
Just a comment as to the why (( I don’t work here …. ))
It did not work. I’ve deleted the previous installation, optimized the database, and even so, when you enable the theme, the widgets area does not appear. This makes the use of the theme unfeasible.
Hi,
The theme does not have any printing options or interfere in this process. You can use a plugin to optimize the result when printing pages
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-a-printer-friendly-option-to-your-wordpress-posts/
And test in your browser by pressing CTRL+P to check the results.
Thanks
Hi,
I cannot access your website at the moment

As you mentioned, the theme does not support RTL. Modifying the theme to display properly in this situation may prove a difficult task. The theme elements are not optimized to display the best results under these circumstances. Some are directly dependent on direction.
If you decide to request a refund, you can do so and we will approve it. There probably are different themes that are RTL ready and would be better suited for this purpose.
Thanks
Hello Aakash,
First of all, please notice that the W3TotalCache plugin is not tested with our theme and it seems to cause a lot of problems through the theme, sorry! You should use the WP Super Cache which is our recommended caching plugin.

Hello mrtran,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using some untested plugins which can interact with the logo section and cause some errors (auto optimize plugin). Now, your logo it seems to work as expected. Check our list of header style because there you will see more way of displaying your logo. -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-styles/
Thanks for your understanding!
$this->move_js_to_footer(‘optimize.txt’);
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘optimize.txt’);
OR
$this->move_js_to_footer(‘optimize’);
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘optimize’);
in current directory plugins/td-speed-booster
My site is slow. With the previous theme gtmetrix and google page speed returning values over 80%. With current theme (Which is most beautiful certainly) parameters is a 40-45%.
you can help me?
I’m installed a Speed Booster But Does not improve.(guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/)
How do I see if she read my .txt file?
I think it’s not working.
i generate file and called optimize.txt. I upload into directory of plugin.
i insert into td-speed-booster.php this code:
$this->move_js_to_footer(‘optimize.txt’);
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘optimize.txt’);
OR
$this->move_js_to_footer(‘optimize’);
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘optimize’);
but not it works
Hi,
I see that your website is RTL, please note that theme theme does not support this direction. Applying this style to the theme, or modifications to the theme in this matter can cause problems like this one.
As a quick fix for this issue you can try this code. Enter it in Theme panel->Custom Css
#td-mobile-nav {
position: fixed;
}
But other problems could appear with other theme elements, because the theme is not optimized or designed with RTL in mind. Some of the theme aspects are directly dependent on direction, and may not function properly in this case.
Thanks
Also try testing one of your posts with GTmetrix.com to see if you still need to optimize your server setup, htaccess, time to live, image compression, etc.
Hi,
Google Adsense codes are automatically responsive and will adapt their size based on the container they are in
– https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/3213689?hl=en
If you are not using an Adsense code, the theme will display the ad you enter in the theme panel as it is. Wrapping the code as shown in the guide provided above, you can have different ads displayed based on device. So you can wrap your code in a visible desktop class, and it will be displayed only on desktop. Then use a different ad code optimized for other devices, the same way
– https://www.screencast.com/t/UQHc206i
These are the only options the theme has regarding ads. Some users use the Adrotate plugin for ads implementation, you can try that if the theme settings do not offer what you need.
Thanks
Hello Lilian,
Notice that using the Child Theme is optional and it is useful when you want to make some customizations which you will not lose to a possible update. You can use the Google Tag Managers according to their tutorial, here -> https://www.optimizesmart.com/beginners-guide-google-tag-manager-v2/ If you want that your top bar menu to be displayed on your mobile version, you should provide your website URL so I can take a closer look at it and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Dear Sir/Madame,
I am facing a theme speed issue after adding custom CSS to my theme, from the theme panel. Initial speed, without the custom CSS, is 94/97 on Speed Insights which is super.
Upon adding the custom CSS I get these 6 strange render-blocking CSS which where not there before:
http://astropaideia.wpengine.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css?ver=4.8
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700|Roboto+Condensed:300,300italic,400,400italic,700,700italic&ver=3.4
http://astropaideia.wpengine.com/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/_inc/genericons/genericons/genericons.css?ver=3.1
http://astropaideia.wpengine.com/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/css/jetpack.css?ver=5.0
http://astropaideia.wpengine.com/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/css/js_composer.min.css?ver=5.1.1
http://astropaideia.wpengine.com/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/style.css?ver=3.4
As a result the website speeds down by 79/91, which is great, but why not speed up more (I mean your theme has amazing speed).
Even if I deactivate all erelevant plugins like Jetpack or Contact Form 7, I still get render 4 blocking sources (which I don’t get without the custom code)
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700|Roboto+Condensed:300,300italic,400,400italic,700,700italic&ver=3.4
http://astropaideia.wpengine.com/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/css/js_composer.min.css?ver=5.1.1
http://astropaideia.wpengine.com/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/style.css?ver=3.4
I followed your instructions here but I cannot seem to find these particular CSS that causes this
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Based on your instruction I added to the td-speed-booster.php the following code
//@todo test on newsmag
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘contact-form-7’);
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘jetpack’);
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘js_composer_front’);
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘Newsmag’);
but the issue persists.
Unfortunately I cannot use WP Cache on my server because it does not support the plugin. I can use other 3rd party plugins to optimize (Autoptimize, Above the fold) but that will only take me to 84%.
Any suggestions?
Am I doing something wrong??
My website url is this one:
http://astropaideia.wpengine.com/
Thank you for the great theme,
Dimitris Belegris
