Search Results for 'optimize'

Hey guys is there an update on this? We too would love to use Facebook Comments. We are noticing a large number of spam comments with the generic comment section, we are hoping not only will the comments be optimized on facebook, but it will also limit the spam comments. Thank you for your insights.

Each plugin you add may load in its own custom CSS and Javascript calls. Not easy to “merge” all of that without some serious hacking.

For example if you know you’re going to use the same 10 plugins, you could open up the plugins themselves, and remove the loading of the css and js, then merge all of those into single css and js files and load in footer.

Of course, if you knew how to do that you likely would not be asking how to do it here.

Using the Speed Booster you can optimize some of that to load in footer after main page load.

Some plugins you can disable loading custom CSS and have it accept (inherit) the site CSS.

YOu can also hack the Google fonts to load Google’s CSS into your own style.css but that is also a bit advanced.

Anyway – just some feedback on what that all entails.

Sir, please help me to fix this

I am using speed booster plugin with WP super cache and CloudFlare enabled.
I have followed speed booster tutorial but after adding provided code in tutorial to functions.php I am not getting ID for above mentioned js and css

@larceny
in my case we have dedicated high speed server in Class-A datacenter. So for us, using most CDN stuff doesn’t help us. We tested this thoroughly, hence the effort to optimize “in place” vs relying on external resources.

For whatever your situation is, you will have to A/B test how it works for you and your content, layouts, hosting plan, etc., as that varies from site to site.

Hi

The theme code was tested and optimized for best performance, we have a lot of clients and the theme works well on a large variety of hosts.
First please make sure that you use the recommended server configuration for Newspaper theme, you can check our documentation for more details: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/
There are lots of factors that influence the site’s page-sped. I suggest you first try this without any other plugins active, leave just VC plugin active the check again. To improve the loading speed look the mysql query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html we also use it on our demo.
Also you can use the speed booster to move the js and css at the bottom of the page, eliminate render-blocking, but not for all plugins. Check the System Status if the speed booster is active if you use other plugins than the tested ones. You can find some useful information regrading speed booster usage in this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-booster-questions/
Also you can read this guide, it may help – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

Hope this help.
Thanks!

Once your site is live, see the theme docs in the tutorials/DIY, and ‘best of forums’ for some great tips/guides on how to properly optimize any WordPress site for best performance with complex themes like Newspaper.

Some of those I’ve already had deactivated and went ahead and disabled the rest. Fingers crossed!

Just looked at my stats this morning and I’m over my allotted Account Executions for a 24 hour period. Meaning that my site might be going down again soon. My hosting isn’t waiting long anymore to bring it down when I go over.

Here are screenshots of the stats:

One other thing that I can’t understand; using yesterday as an example, 78% of my visitors came from mobile. So why is the Newspaper theme even using resources for mobile visitors? I’m using WPTouch and it’s as optimized as it can get.

What am I missing here, am I simply just “screwed”?

Wish me luck, I’ve optimized as much as I can and have re-activated the theme today.

I’m not able to use pagespeed though, seems my plugins aren’t compatible. I started disabling them to see if I can get it enabled, but after about six I gave up.

Thanks for the replies. I am on SiteGround’s “Go Geek” shared hosting plan (https://www.siteground.com/web-hosting.htm). I don’t have much stats on the server, but it’s the best that I can afford. I’m thinking of switching to Amazon AWS but would like to make sure I’ve exhausted all other options.

I have followed many optimization guides that I’ve found online as well as TagDiv’s own guides. The only thing that I haven’t done is use WP Supercache, I was using a different one. I’ve also recently signed up for MaxCDN, but that didn’t help with the resource issues either. I just now implemented Disqus as I’ve read that can help too. Oh, and I wasn’t able to use pagespeed as my sharing plugin isn’t compatible, I can disable that plugin for testing purposes.

I get anywhere from 150-300k visitors a month depending on the strength of the box office. Most come from Google searches. SiteGround says that it’s not a visitor issue for the resources though.

But really, for the most part, my site is optimized. Yet SiteGround says that it was using three times more resources on the Newspaper theme than the basic one it’s running now.

I’d like to go back to Newspaper, but doubt that WP Supercache, Disqus and pagespeed will make that much difference, will it???

My last post was just saying that it was fixed and describing what had happened and what fixed it:

We optimized the customization and it fixed.

Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

The add filter function only changes the default WordPress compression for thumbnails created from the main file you upload, and any enlarged/smaller version — it will not optimize the original image you upload. That is best done prior to upload using something like Photoshop, GIMP, or any other image application — or compression tool. Ideally best to “create” your original images as optimized — e.g., in Photoshop, start with “save as web” quality factor of 22 with a blur of .01 — for any image with a lot of red you need to do quality factor in PSHOP as 52. Some images with people you can get away with 32.

Best to optimize the original jpeg you upload when created/sized — problem with many “reprocessors” (including mod_paghespeed) is that a same-size jpeg of a jpeg increases the artifacts of compression.

Not sure that helps … but food for thought 🙂

What I do:
* original images > optimized/sized when first uploaded
* WP compression level set to 50 – as per functions.php fix, and this makes great thumbs for desktop/iOS
* With thumbnail upscale plugin, with some minor enlargements (e.g., 500x to 600x), perfectly fine.

Avoid the Jetpack image thing — totally sucks !

🙂

Thanks! This was a really weird one. It ended up being caused by a bizarre hosting limitation once the number of total posts reached a certain point and a customization was running wp_query on all posts. We optimized the customization and it fixed. But there were no hints of the issue and the images that were getting not-loaded (note they weren’t missing, just unloaded) by Newspaper were random (different slots as new posts cycled through the home page).

Dear Chris

Thx ..sorry i thought you are one of tagdiv team 🙂

Dear Alin

Does w3 total cache and yoast seo can affect this post view?
Because i am not a programmer, and i try to install them to optimize my website.
But i feel that the post view counter is different recently.

Thankyou

In our case we’re a 33 year old publishing firm with dedicated server, so no need for external service. We use mod_pagespeed and server side caching, which caches our images but also auto converts to bleeding edge formats like “webp” for Chrome and Android, from our highly optimized jpeg images done here in Photoshop.

But most folks don’t spend $700+ a month on dedicated box 🙂

Of course, in your case if a plugin makes a local featured image, it then adds it to the gallery so that WP can generate the thumbs, which are NOT done from external URL. So, that might defeat the purpose of what you’re trying to do. You would need to build some kind of custom CDN hook to load the image from CDN into your post, then the plugin we use would make THAT a featured image and generate the thumbs for local loading on indexes.

Sorry not a better answer …. 🙂

I’m using W3TC and Cloudflare with Flexible SSL enabled. I’ve disabled minification on Cloudflare and am using W3TC to reduce the number of requests. I do basic minification of CSS and html, but not JS since minifying JS breaks images on my front page. I also combine all CSS into a single file and JS into a single file to reduce the number of requests to my server, which also has the benefit of removing query strings so I can be sure all my CSS, JS, and HTML is being cached correctly by any caching proxies between me and my readers. Minifying html also improves pagespeed slightly since Cloudflare doesn’t cache or optimize HTML.

This also has the added benefit of not having to do a manual process every time I update my Newspaper theme.

Obviously, I’ve also disabled Cloudflare in the W3TC plugin so it doesn’t know I’m using Cloudflare. This means if I do feel the need to clear my Cloudflare cache for some reason, I have to do it manually from the Cloudflare website.
