Hi, Umit can i know how you optimized yur blog ? but i check speed test yr blog at gtmetrix an yr score is A. can you help me ? for this
Thank you Jessie, really appreciate the effort… it is most welcomed
Firstly I’m not sure what’s up with that logo, I know I have changed it, to make sure it’s gone I just went ahead to rename it and upload it afresh, seems it got stuck on Google reading even if I changed it. But it’s sorted now… Good catch
========
I tried this script in the past but it keeps breaking my site… I cant remember I think in one of my settings I got this sorted with a plugin, can’t remember now as I have been trying different settings to get this theme to work
function _remove_script_version( $src ){
$parts = explode( ‘?ver’, $src );
return $parts[0];
}
add_filter( ‘script_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
add_filter( ‘style_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
===================
I’ve just added imagify on it and it’s running, lets see what it can do
===================
I’ve also added back our keycdn, and it does seem faster, but still not exciting google because of images
We have been able to reduce and compress some of the css, please test and see the settings I put back
========
What bugs me is that this is the third theme we are changing over time, and this is the only one that has this much issues:( and hardest to optimize
I hope they still address other issues as I see honestly no supprort from them which makes me concerned
I took a look…
My initial thoughts… Damn! That is a big website! and I really don’t want to f it up… It’s a very good looking site and interesting too…
It appears what is slowing down your site the most is the images. About 30% of the page/post sizes is the logo which is 500kb… appearing on all your posts and pages.
After running your website at google pagespeed insights you will see a link for optimized resources for your site at the bottom. I downloaded them and the optimized logo from Google is only 10 kb. And the logo looks to be the same quality and clarity as the large size one on the site.
As you likely know bigger pages equals longer load times.
For the rest of your images, it would be good to optimize them using an image optimizer plugin such as ewww image optimizer. After that you would need to regenerate the thumbnails using regenerate thumbnails plugin for the images to display correctly. I am a bit wary in this advice though as you have many images and it will take very long.
At gtmetrix.com the site scores very low for “remove query strings from static resources”
The code I am using on my site to score 100 for this adding the code below to functions.php
function _remove_script_version( $src ){
$parts = explode( ‘?ver’, $src );
return $parts[0];
}
add_filter( ‘script_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
add_filter( ‘style_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
Your site generates a lot of requests to load… (109)
I think many of those requests are due to your site calling youtube for the thumbnails used on the videos. You should look to have the thumbnails on your website for the videos, then your site won’t have to wait for youtube to send them. I am using ARVE plugin on my site to do this, BJ Lazy Load also does this but ARVE looks better.
I highly reccommend you get a second opinion on my suggestions incase something goes wrong. How long does it take to backup such a big site?
Hope it goes well… That sandbox sounds good… If all else fail give autoptimize plugin a shot. Be advised when it works it does wonders, when it doesn’t it can cause a lot of headaches.
Good luck 🙂
Hi
the visual composer is very heavy on my site and the admin panel – when editing pages – is very slow and sometimes doesn’t work well (for example I can’t save anymore my home page because wordpress with visual composer enabled seems to freeze the update function – I click on the button but nothing happens)
there’s a way to optimize it or to find an alternative more light?
thanks
Paolo

HI all
when I run the speed test on my site I always get the advise to optimize the image size
now I already compress them when creating (all are jpg with a 35% quality and 800×600 dimension) and I set wordpres to compress them when loading (add_filter( ‘jpeg_quality’, create_function( ”, ‘return 50;’ ) );)
I notice that the theme doesn’t use a resized version of the images when showing them in the home page (www.greenplanner.it)
how can I get rid of this and solve the issu?
thanks

Hi,
Unfortunately the robots.txt and the htaccess are not part of the theme. You should search online for a few possible solutions like for example:

Hello haqemcom,

Hi Support team,
I do have problem on thums on frontpage. After I used “Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions” plugin, then the thums on frontpage disappeared. They are not gone completely, when I move a cursol over the position where an image suppress to be, then the thum shows up.
I am using NM demo, and after the thums disappeared, the tab section also did not work. All images under tabs showed up, so I delete that section now.
I have restored both home directory and mySQL database, but my frontpage has not been recovered. Do you have any ideas?
Thank you,
Toko
Hello,
It could be the auto optimize plugin or other third party plugins used. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Thank you!

Are you sure you followed the guide exactly? https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Optimize images – point 3 of the guide: http://screencast.com/t/m7noLNKj3V
Render blocking js and css – point 5 of the guide – http://screencast.com/t/pA3Vk9lIk
Leverage browser caching point 2 of the guide – http://screencast.com/t/BHVwcxuHY
You are not done with the optimization.
Hi,
I compressed all of my images with EWWW + WP Smush + TinyPNG and more. Then I downloaded them to my computer and compressed with programs like Photoshop and auto compressors. Now all image qualitys are like %60 of JPG. You can count pixels on the images but even that on Google Pagespeed I get 50/100 and Google want’s me to compress them more or resize them.
I think it’s themes problem because it calls large images on front page but i am not sure.
My website: webellek.com
Thanks in advance.
Also seems to help, after update
a) resave permalinks
b) clear all ‘transients’ with wp-optimize plugin
Also; with Yoast and other major plugins it is always useful on update/install to
a) resave permalinks
b) clear transients with wp-optimize
c) go through ALL the settings panels in Yoast to make sure default settings don’t conflict with your site setup or other plugins which might do the same thing (e.g., if you already have a sitemap creator, don’t turn on the Yoast version; etc.)
Hello hkubilayonal,
Please keep in mind that this is not an error. It is just a safety measure in this regard. The Speed Booster is an optional plugin, and it works only with the tested plugins.If you use other plugins, it will be automatically disabled, and I suggest to check this first in System Status. However there is a workaround to make it also work with other plugins, you can read more here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-booster-not-compatible-with-vaultpress/
Unfortunately, the time doesn’t allow us to provide any custom and optimization services. We provide support only for the theme related issues based on Envato support policy – https://themeforest.net/page/item_support_policy I suggest to get someone to help you if you want to optimize your site.
Thanks for your understanding!
For advanced use, it’s good to “unhook” the fonts from being enqueued in the theme functions file, and you can combine them as so:
https://fonts.googleblog.com/2010/09/optimizing-use-of-google-font-api.html
for advanced users, you actually capture the CSS from google and put at top of you style.css file.
I cover this a bit in my long winded tutorial thread on optimization in the docs > tutorials > DIY/best of forums
That might not help, but perhaps give you juice to go on an adventure on learning to “super optimize” Google font loading fpr best pagespeed (how I get 100/100) 😉
Because WProcket minification of javascript usually breaks it. It’s almost impossible to “auto-minify” javascript.
Google has some help on this topic, and I believe I have some examples of how to do this manually in my long winded optimization tutorial thread found in the docs > tutorials > DIY > best of forums.
Theme devs often don’t minify all the files, as a buyer might want to edit/change something which is very very hard to do from compressed version without comments.
However, you can easily do this yourself with an online compressor tool recommend by Google; you simply copy the file, paste into compressor, paste optimized version into file and upload on server over the original file. Shazam.
If you’re unable to find my optimization thread, here is link to compress the JS file(s) you wish to optimize manually (you will have to do again with each theme update!).

Good luck!
Hello
I test regulary our site on GTMetrix:
https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.virtualmagie.com/38EiYbsI
We use WPRocket.
Why these file is not minify?
Minifying http://vm-510e.kxcdn.com/wp-content/cache/busting/1/wp-content-themes-Newspaper-js-tagdiv_theme.js could save 46.6KiB (48% reduction) after compression. See optimized version.
Could you please do that on your next upgrade?
Thanks
Hi,
The google fonts are different fonts and our theme cannot combine them into one single string. If you use many fonts you will see this happening. Please try to use only one or 2 fonts on your site. We have 2 default fonts already so 2 are already loaded. If you use 2 more, then they will be 4 loaded. As for the rest of the page speed issues, you should follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ as your site is not optimized.
Thank you!
Hi,
I use the Autoptimize Plugin. I tried Speedbooster but it’s complex and it also gave me 16 instances of where JS/CSS were blocking.
When I conducted the test after the 7.6 upgrade, I was slower and no longer in the green on Google
Much of the issue has to do with Google Fonts. When I did test on Pingdom, it said that Is should combine files
From Pingdom:
“There are 4 CSS files served from fonts.googleapis.com. They should be combined into as few files as possible.”
I am not advanced. How can I resolve this?
