One of my domains got suspended, it was the one using Newspaper theme. It has been restored after I removed the theme and plugins. I removed ALL files to start fresh. Some facts about me:
I update things in under 6 hours. if an update comes while I am sleeping hence 6 hours. No more than 24 hours.
I do not use any plugins that has no updates in 6 months or more. I use 2fa with my User account, Wordfence is used. My password is 25 mixed characters (lower and upper case, letters, numbers and symbols).
In everything else in my computer/digital life, I use a Yubikey and get notifications when there is a login.
Here is the original message I got from my hosting provider, for privacy’s sake I censored the domains:
Hello,
We have noticed trouble in the account with big CPU over usage in the account with monthly average value:
45.80% of 5.00% CPU Limit
and peaks over 65% recently seen in CPU Statistics menu:
https://(myloginidformydomainhosting.com)/statistics/load-stats/
In general, the more traffic and hits a PHP-based website gets the more CPU it consumes to process the scripts.
Additionally, high CPU usage is generated when a PHP-based website generates a high number of queries to its database:
https://(myloginidformydomainhosting.com)/mysql/stats/
https://(myloginidformydomainhosting.com)/statistics/web-stats/
https://(myloginidformydomainhosting.com)/statistics/traffic-stats/
Cross-reference of these factors and statistics will indicate to you which website generates the most CPU in the account.
In your case, this appears to be a combination of many websites running in the account starting with WordPress website at:
(mydomain.com)
which appears to be compromised by a hacker and running malicious scripts similar with its TagDiv plugins and Newspaper theme described in this article:
https://blog.sucuri.net/2023/10/balada-injector-targets-unpatched-tagdiv-plugin-newspaper-theme-wordpress-admins.html
and with huge amount of hits at:
(mydomain.com)/wp-json/tdw/save_css/
Due to these reasons, we have been forced to suspend the domain name, so it cannot be accessed online. Although this is so, you can access the domain name folder via File Manager or FTP to remove the trouble content.
The best solution in such a case is to download files to your computer for a comparison copy thus you can configure later needed plugins and templates as well as retrieve single static files like images.
Remove all files from the host(domain or subdomain) folder thus you can be sure that all malicious files are removed.
After that reinstall your website completely with a new fresh version of the scripts(core application, plugins, themes, etc.) latest versions. Use database configuration from wp-config.php file downloaded before so you can connect the reinstalled website to previous database for your website previous information.
Here is also a detailed article on a hacked website:
https://(myloginidformydomainhosting.com)/help/view-article/?id=550
Restore of the website files does not help in such cases as it reverts the same outdated scrips of your website which the hacker has compromised before so the trouble is repeated again and again.
Please check the content of your entire hosting account for any third-party scripts which are not a part of your websites uploaded by the hacker and remove such ones.
You have to change all passwords in your account too – all FTP accounts passwords and all scripts admin passwords.
After website is reinstalled you can try general protection of the WordPress script with a plugin such as one of these:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/
To optimize a website further:
– Try to reduce PHP/MySQL database requests with additional caching plugins like:
– WP Fastest Cache – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/
or
– W3 Total Cache – https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/
– check details of the queries running – Query Monitor – https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/
and try to reduce queries or check with their developers for optimization advice.
– Try to reduce the number of articles that appear on your front page and reorganize them into sub-pages. This way you would lower the number of queries processed to the database on each visit of the website and will improve the site performance.
-check some advice to restrict bad bots crawling your website as they are a waste of website resources in general. Check online advice articles similar to:
– Limit hits from Google bots from their system:
https://search.google.com/search-console/about
– check official WordPress documentation: https://wordpress.org/support/article/optimization/
Monitor the statistics mentioned above for at least a couple of days which should be enough to see if the changes made have enough effect or if you need to take further measures.
We will expect a solution of this trouble from you in 7 days and we may be forced to suspend the account after that if no updates are provided from you in this ticket.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
(insert technician’s name here)
Speed Optimization on Newspaper themes do not seem to be an easy task. I tried a few well-known optimization plugins and also on additional speed features given on the Newspaper theme panel. However, I could come up with a 75% Google page speed and an A+ on SEMRUSH. You can find the observations in this post, How did I manage to get an A+ performance score in SEMRUSH website speed test?. Please comment if you have a better method to optimize the settings for better speed and better performance.
Hi, i was checking page speed insights for my website electronicsforu.com. It came to my notice that there are many fonts which loads together like opensans, roboto, rubik, etc and that is hindering our performance repory. Is there any way we can optimize these fonts?

Hello!
We know that page speed is very important, and we try to optimize the theme as much as we can, so you can have a great score with less optimization than before.
However, page loading speed can depend on many factors, and each website is unique from this point of view.
A great solution is to use the Google PageSpeed Insights tool, so you can see exactly what you should optimize on your website.
For customization and other services, you can contact our custom work team here: https://tagdiv.com/premium-customization-services/.
@c386 Did you try to optimize your images first? Optimize Images: Compress images before uploading them to your WordPress site. You can use plugins like WP Smush or EWWW Image Optimizer to automatically optimize images without losing quality.
Thank you!
Hello!
However, page loading speed can depend on many factors, and each website is unique from this point of view.
Unfortunately, we can only help you with some advice.

Our developers are aware of this issue and try to synthesize the composer, which is big, and fix the major problems of the theme and speed.
I recommend you use fewer features on the page, so the requests will be less as well.
Improving page speed in WordPress is crucial for providing a better user experience and optimizing your website for search engine rankings. Here are some tips to help you enhance your WordPress site’s page speed:
Optimize Images: Compress images before uploading them to your WordPress site. You can use plugins like WP Smush or EWWW Image Optimizer to automatically optimize images without losing quality.
Utilize Caching: Implement caching to reduce server load and speed up page loading times. WordPress caching plugins like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache can generate static HTML files of your pages to serve users instead of dynamically generating them each time.
Minify CSS and JavaScript: Minify your CSS and JavaScript files to remove unnecessary characters and reduce file sizes. This can be done manually or through plugins like Autoptimize or W3 Total Cache.
Enable GZIP Compression: Enable GZIP compression on your server to reduce the size of files sent from your server to users’ browsers. Most hosting providers offer GZIP compression, but you can also enable it through plugins like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache.
Optimize Database: Regularly clean up and optimize your WordPress database to remove unnecessary data and improve performance. You can use plugins like WP-Optimize to automate this process.
Limit External Requests: Minimize the number of external requests your website makes by reducing the use of external scripts and widgets. Each external request adds overhead to your page’s loading time.
Enable Lazy Loading: Implement lazy loading for images, videos, and iframes so that they are only loaded when they are visible on the user’s screen. This can significantly reduce initial page loading times.
Optimize Server Response Time: Choose a reliable hosting provider with fast server response times. Consider using a content delivery network (CDN) to serve your content from servers closer to your users.
Regularly Update Plugins and Themes: Keep your WordPress core, plugins, and themes updated to the latest versions to ensure compatibility with the latest performance optimizations and security patches.
Ads can significantly impact the speed of your WordPress website since they often involve loading external resources and scripts. You can try to limit the number of ads, optimize ad sizes and formats, and implement lazy loading on your ads.
By following these tips, you can significantly improve the page speed of your WordPress website, leading to better user engagement, higher search engine rankings, and overall improved performance. Please check out the tips from those platforms: GTmetrix and Google Pagespeed Insights.
We will try to improve the shop part page speed issues and the JS issues in the next updates.
Thank you!
Hello @mathclash!
We have 3 options available for mobile versions that you can use:
1. Responsive version: A responsive version of your website looks similar to the desktop version. TagDiv Composer is used to edit the page.Click on the mobile viewport: https://www.screencast.com/t/XDQJedlggSB. There, you can see your mobile version and edit or adjust the elements to look better.
2. Mobile pages: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages
3. Mobile theme plugin: The Mobile Theme is a performance-optimized theme included in the main Newspaper theme that only loads on mobile devices. It comes with its own templates and designs for pages, posts, categories, etc., so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout. Please see https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/ for more information.
A full explanation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
If you need to use mobile version 1 or 2, then you need to uninstall the Mobile Theme plugin and AMP.
Thank you!

In short, the theme is slow and not optimized. The developers know this and do their best to maintain it.
Speed plays a very important role today. Our themes must be fast every day.
Open up, go looking elsewhere

Hello,
Unfortunately, this tool has caused more problems than it has helped. I’m glad it was useful for you, but for the majority of users, it wasn’t, and there have been requests for it to be removed. The code has been optimized; please go to the theme panel -> block settings -> inline css https://i.imgur.com/cwwmOPu.png and disable the option to minify the css.
Thank you!
Hi,
There are a lot of factors which can make your site slow. Make sure you use only some templates and fewer functionalities and options.
Some factors which you need to take into account are:
External factors: server speed, if you are using CDN or not, the external resources loaded by your website like ads, fonts, tracking scripts like Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Twitter analytics, Hotjar and so on.
Internal factors: the number of elements on the page, image size, image formats, if you are using mobile optimized layouts, console errors, if you are using the Standard Pack plugin or not, if you are using the PRO demo or a standard one.
Also, installing a demo doesn’t guarantee that you’ll achieve the same page speed as tested on our demos. You’ll need to perform optimizations. You can use caching plugins like Super Cache or the premium WP Rocket.

Hi,
What plugin for cache do you use? Did you try to exclude the file from your plugin not to optimize the js?
Thank you!
I just started using Autoptimize, the problem existed before I started using it. I still tried what you suggested. then clear all caches. The issue is still there. I have run out of places to look for the issue.
Hello,
I see that you use Autoptimize. Can you try going to Autoptimize’s settings page, unchecking the box to ‘Optimize JavaScript Code,’ then check and see if you still have the issue?
Also, do you use a plugin for the gallery? You can also try to exclude also, this file from Autoptimize wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/js/tagdiv_theme.min.js
Thank you!

Hello,
I’ve analyzed your website and noticed many ad scripts https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-mecanicaonline-com-br/tl3om9q70l?form_factor=desktop, so you need to use a plugin to optimize and reduce resources for this, like WP Rocket. Additionally, I’ve seen that you need to optimize your images.
Thank you!
Hello!
This situation appears when you are using the mobile theme plugin and the cache plugin that you have does not feature options for a separate mobile theme plugin therefore do not know when to deliver the mobile version and when to deliver the desktop version.

Hi,
The most simple way will be to use a plugin like autoptimze and use the option to remove the html comments from the website – https://i.imgur.com/xSjwNoz.png
Thank you!
Hello,
Do you use a plugin to optimize the images, or do you have a plugin that have options to optimize the images?
Thank you!
Hello!
The mobile theme is optimized for speed, but you have fewer options for customization.
You can also use the other two options, but do not use more features that can cause problems with speed. Check this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/what-is-ajax-preloading/
