Thanks in advance for the best theme ever!!

Hi
On mobile devices the site loads really slow, here can be seen the result from google page-speed toll: http://screencast.com/t/CzzRX1JO This affect user experience and some times the browser will stop page’s load it takes to mush time until the server responds. Try to optimize the site following our documentation. also try to deactivate all plugin except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test again.
Thanks!
HI
For the moment this is the only option available, the block’s must be added manually which takes some times if you have many categories. We may have some additional options fro blocks in future theme’s updates which may optimize this process but I can’t promise anything for sure.
Thanks!

Hello aseainme,
Unfortunately, the W3Total Cache plugin is not tested with our theme and we cannot say for sure that this one will work as properly with our theme. This type of plugin is too complex and it proved to be a quite problematic theme and that’s why we do not recommend using this because the theme can be damaged. Our caching plugin which we recommend is WP Super Cache. This is fully tested with our theme and this works like a charm with our products.
Regarding on page speed loading, please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized. Please notice that this 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. Please 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 is not covered by our support policy, as you can read here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
I actually removed them in order to optimize them and make them smaller. When they were there they still weren’t showing. I’ll let you know when they are back up so we can figure it out.
Hello,
I’m not aware of any straightforward solution to what you’ve asked but there are some recommendations that you can consider. On my website I have added following code to .htaccess file:
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 604800 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 604800 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 604800 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 2592000 seconds"
So it’s kind of workarround but it optimize loading because those lines utilize browser caching so user’s browsers will not fetch images (I’m guessing your ads are some kind of images) that often (as it would if there’s no mentioned code in .htaccess).
As you can see I’ve done same ‘optimization’, in terms of loading those resources, for the css and js.
Hi support team!
I’m trying to optimize the speed of my blog.
At this moment, the instagram widget is activated and when I run a test always the output is:
https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e15/11330690_1689573954597128_1533877579_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=OTkyNzg5NTUwNDI0MTEyNTY3.2 is resized in HTML or CSS from 640×640 to 167×167. Serving a scaled image could save 105.5KiB (93% reduction).

As you can see that images are on a Instagram CDN.
What steps do I need to do to scale that images, and improve my blog speed.
Guys, I am very frustrated.
The plugin mentioned above doesn’t work at newspaper neither with optimize press nor with profit builder nor without the two babes.
Sometimes there is an error because of the incompatability, sometimes not.
I’m no native speaker and I really hope you can help with that prob I have since 2 weeks 🙁
Thank you
Claudia
Hello sjlabar,
Please keep in mind that other than cropping system we do not optimize the images. Our theme uses the thumbs to crop the images for achieving a better speed. Also, please notice that we have an optimization tutorial, named How to make your website faster and there you will find a method on how you can optime your images using the code if you want to do this. -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about this, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
Not an issue with the theme but more a question for the developers/community: what’s your preferred caching setup for Newspaper? What do tagDiv run or recommend as an ideal setup? And has anyone experienced random downtime using WP Super Cache?
I’d used WP Super Cache in the past but had issues with my site going offline, which I tracked down to the plugin (although I couldn’t tell why). W3 Total Cache is my favourite caching plugin but isn’t approved for use with Newspaper, and as such has caused me issues with the newspaper dashboard (wiping settings).
So I’m back to WP Super Cache, and the random downtime has returned. Jetpack reports the site went down 6 times in one day, for between 5–13 minutes. Has anyone else experiences this? Google Search console doesn’t seem to show any connectivity errors, but the downtime is so quick I’m not sure it would. I have on occasion been able to confirm the site is actual down, so it doesn’t seem to be a false positive from Jetpack.
Other plugins we run are:
— Akismet
— Autoptimize
— CloudFlare
— Code Embed
— Contact Form 7
— Cookie Law Info
— Custom Facebook Feed
— Duplicate Post
— Google AdSense
— Jetpack
— Limit Login Attempts
— Mailchimp
— Regenerate Thumbnails
— Remove query strings from static resources
— Revolution Slider
— Simple Local Avatars
— tagDiv Mobile Theme
— tagDiv Social Counter
— tagDiv Speed Booster
— Use Google libraries
— Wordfence Security
— WP Smush
— WP Super Cache
— WP-Optimize
— WPBakery Visual Composer
— Yoast SEO
Could any of these be conflicting? There are a few of these that offer caching features.
Interested to hear other Newspaper users’ thoughts.
Hi, I got a Google Adsense non-compliance notification. IT reads:
“Publishers may not implement Google ads in a manner that disguises the ads in any way. In order to maintain a good user experience, it is important for publishers to clearly distinguish Google ads from site content. This includes, but is not limited to: site layouts in which the ads push content below the fold on mobile devices; placing 300×250 or larger ad units above the fold on a mobile optimized site.”
I think I need to add the word “advertisement” before each ad? That’s my reading of it. Or could it be something else? Here is a sample page if anyone can tell me what’s wrong: http://www.burrardstreetjournal.com/cactus-club-bikini-dress-code-introduced/
Last week I added page level ads but that surely can’t be the problem as they appear exactly as Google want them to? I never had this problem before until now.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Hi,
Unfortunately images are the last to load in every case. This is the way WP works. The mobiule theme loads images faster as it was optimized for improved loading speeds. You cannot load images first. Page speed influences how fast the images load so if you want to get better loading speeds, you will have to use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Please also read this topic to learn about speedbooster’s compatibility: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
Thank you!
Yes, I actually found those settings in the block settings.
I’m not sure if this will be helpful or not but you may want to consider dynamically calling and scaling these photos rather than creating them all as static sizes to reduce fill storage, or at least offer a on/off function to let people choose whether to optimize for page speed or file storage.
Thank you
Thank you and I understand your case.
Maybe you can add an option for this in the ad section in the future. This problem can only resort with me, but it seems that I get some accidental clicks on the bottom ads esp. when using pagination and this is why I ask. I have some really loooooong posts and I like using pagebreaks whenever necessary.
All in all you guys are the pros and know where best to optimize for ad placement. I’ll stick with the default to make it less of a hassle.
Thank you again.
This is a pity but at the end the tagDiv plugin for Mobile Theme cannot work with Optimize press. This is a pity because I found this initiative a proactive and great step.
This is the only and negative downside I found using your theme.
I hope soon you will fix it
Hi,
We provide some solutionsto optimize the images on the pagespeed tutorial – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ that you could try.
Thanks!
Hello,
I want to ask how to optimize my images for best display and to get best results for the google pagespeed.
Thanks
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delayed response — you were exactly right, it was the Autoptimize plugin’s ‘Optimize JavaScript Code’ option which caused the issue. I’ve disabled this and the mega menu works.
Thanks again for your help!
Hi
Try to use gzip compression to reduce the transfer time and file’s size; https://gtmetrix.com/enable-gzip-compression.html
Also please make sure that your server meets the requirements indicated in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/ and also check if the parameters from system status have the values indicated in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ you can also optimize the site following our page-speed guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ Consider using a cache plugin and a cdn service for a better response time: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/ and to optimze the queries made to database take a look at mysql query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/query-cache.html
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hi Andrei!
Thank you so much for the link and the answer!
At the end I choose Optimize Press to create some landing pages.
On desktop and Ipad I hadn’t trouble but on Mobile yes…I had.
Is there a way to see the landing page in the mobile version without troubles?
Thanks in advance
Claudio
