Downgrade to a previous version of Yoast, compromises the site security.
Simchris, which Yoast optimizer addon are you refering to?
I truly appreciate your time, I’ve been optimizing my workflow for the last week, so this issue kinda took a backseat as my frustration grew I was scared that my computer might get thrown out my window haha. But I tried both of those and its a “no go” Loads without pictures. I have quic.cloud & litespeed cache working and im still lagging behind in speed. Average 44-60. Im pretty capable over here, I just wish I could optimize this better. Not sure what to do next, I guess I will try the mobile theme option but I sure wish I could design a mobile page as I had it. It was just too slow. What is the usual mode of operation when running a mobile news site? Just be slow? I have even reduced my homepage to just one set of articles displaying, taken off the most my assets, and optimized all my photos. Very disheartening, but the show must go on. Please advise me if possible. Id love to get my score up. My hosting plan should be enough to get me into the 80’s and low nineties, I just cant seem to produce the result. Very sad days lol

Thank you!
Hello,
The only think that I have in my mind that can interfere with that option, I think that re the new theme option core optimize the css theme from the theme panel – https://i.imgur.com/6rDEtYy.png disable both options and clear the cache, after that check to see if there are some better results.
Thank you!
You might look at one of the Yoast optimizer addon plugins which “kills” a bunch of the not-used Yoast features, turns off nags when changing or removing a poat, etc.
We did this with our own custom plugin, because Yoast has become way too intrusive and sometimes actually hurts SEO when they have bugs, vs helping.Rather than actually making solid usable version, each update adds something new, fixes old bugs, then often introduces NEW bugs. Idiots.
Hello Calin,
sorry to jump in. Just seeing the new options and I like them very much, gonna use them later.
A quick question about the “aggregate & minify inline CSS”. If I enable this, would there be complications with other plugins that also have these features? For example autoptimize or WP Fastest Cache.
Thank you!
Hi,
Seems there is an issue with the image. How to improve your LCP score
If the LCP is an image, the timing can be broken down into four phases. Knowing which phases take the longest can help you optimize your LCP. Lighthouse will display the LCP element along with the phase breakdown in the “Largest Contentful Paint element” diagnostic. -> https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/performance/lighthouse-largest-contentful-paint/?utm_source=lighthouse&utm_medium=lr

Hi,
Please regenerate the thumbs https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Also, please let me know if you use a plugin to optimize the images.
Thank you!
Hello,
We apologize but during this period we had a few days off due to the winter holidays – https://i.imgur.com/X8v4HY8.png
What I can recommend is to use the theme options for optimize the site – https://i.imgur.com/ZhAIePq.png – https://i.imgur.com/bGkNbOQ.png – https://i.imgur.com/9SnPT7G.png – https://i.imgur.com/4pIT8ZU.jpg
Also, when the mobile page or mobile theme plugin is used you need to use a cache plugin – that has mobile cache option – https://i.imgur.com/WQj4U8l.png to can cache separately the mobile version. Also, in those cases if CDN is used it request a special option that is not on free version for CDN.
Thank you!
Hello,
I just checked the provided score and the results appears to be good – https://i.imgur.com/ndFxK2i.png – https://i.imgur.com/nlyGytv.png
What I recommend is to make sure you have the latest theme version, Newspaper v12.6.3 and use the theme optimize options – https://i.imgur.com/5IXDV7y.png – https://i.imgur.com/ZctwGIf.png also on cloud header use tagDiv Composer to disable the desktop header on mobile and the mobile header on desktop – https://i.imgur.com/ZIKaKec.jpg – https://i.imgur.com/Sbeqzql.png
Also, if you are using mobile page or mobile theme plugin the please make sure that you use a cache plugin that has mobile cache option.
Thank you!
Hello,
Usually this is happening when a cache plugin is used, then when you are logged in the logged user see the un-cache version of the website and when is logged out sees the cache version. Also, this can provide some problems when CSS and JavaScript are optimized.
Thank you!
Hello,

Good morning,
I’m writing because we have problems with the performance of the Newspaper template on mobile devices. This problem is partially solved by Mobile Theme, but its appearance differs significantly from the appearance of the original website. We use the WP-Optimize plugin for optimization and we have already used its capabilities and the results are still poor for mobile devices. We need a solution that would increase the page loading speed on mobile devices, while maintaining a responsive view of the original page.
Actually I was looking some features like shoptimizer product page – https://shoptimizerdemo.commercegurus.com/product/endeavour-training-sports-top/
Change to mobile view in browser or use phone.
You would see that add to cart button is sticky
https://prnt.sc/qzZ7wlZzuBEq
when you click on add cart it shows selection options.
https://prnt.sc/s_5Sl9xWws-A
then when you click on Add to cart it shows Cart directly.
https://prnt.sc/9TiyQTo1YkhH
Is there a chance i can do that?
Hi,
Please let me know what you want to optimize.
Thank you!
Hi,
You can use the EWWW Image Optimizer
The Newspaper theme has more options then Newsmag theme, but if you prefer a simple theme to use, then the Newsmag theme is the one.
Here is an old article about those – Newspaper vs Newsmag: How to choose the perfect WordPress theme.
The pagespeed depends on what you have on your website, external resources that you are loading on the website. Also is recommended to use a cloudflare (CDN) and cache plugin.
The amp version is optional, so is no need to use it, if you want you can use only the theme or the theme with the mobile theme plugin.
Normally to update the mobile menu should not take more then a few seconds, also if is a cache used, it is ok to clear the cache.
Thank you!
@anamaria I wanted to know how optimized the newspaper theme is for woocommerce? Is there anywhere I can check it?

We have 3 options 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.

Make a test and deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache and try again.

From my point of view, if you don’t use the Mobile Theme plugin, then there is no reason or benefit to AMP. Unfortunately, AMP is not working with the cloud templates because the AMP’s layout is not fully customized.
The AMP version works best with default templates and not cloud templates. That’s why we integrated it with the Mobile theme plugin.
The feedback from our clients about AMP was negative and it is not used anymore, that’s why we didn’t add more customization options.
Thank you for understanding!

Hello,
I just tried to check the images and for me all of them have the problem. Most of the time when this is happening it is do to a cache or optimize plugin that is interfering with the images that should be displayed in popup. Please check this and let me know if the problem persist.
Thank you!
