Hi team @ TagDiv.
I´m having pagespeed problems. Have tried everything from cache to optimizer plugins, disabling plugins remove blocks, setting on the server. everything!!
And pagespeed keeps ranking 20.
After reading several threads I found that disabling TagDiv Standard Pack plugin boosts the site speed.
My question is: Can I build the site without a prebuild template? If so how?
Hello!
The tagdiv Composer plugin is a bigger one with a lot of functions and settings. Our developers tried to improve it more and more, optimize it as much as they could in every update, and also bring in new features. We will try to do our best for this, but it will always need a little bit of separate optimization depending on each website. And, without a doubt, good optimization entails using the tagdiv Composer plugin’s features less.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please edit with tagdiv Composer, scroll until the footer, select the row and go to the tab CSS and delete the background image -> https://i.imgur.com/u5rlTwr.png
Various factors can influence page speed, including server response time, network latency, image optimization, caching, and more. While the PHP version itself may not directly affect page speed, it can impact the web application’s performance, which in turn can affect page speed. For example, newer versions of PHP often have performance improvements that can speed up the execution of code and reduce server response times.
There are many optimization guides provided by our users here in the forum, some made by us; you could check some of them

Hello!
Every theme needs some optimization. Please do not use non-tested plugins with our theme. Our theme was tested with those plugins: https://prnt.sc/ddysTc8qPu19
Make sure that all the requirements are done as you can see here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ Set your php version 7.4.
Some starting points to improve your website page speed are here:

– Disable the lazy load animation from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/O5pfqQdb and it will increase also the speed of your pages.
Please check the tutorials from those platforms, GT metrix and Google Pagespeed Insights, and I’m sure you can increase the page speed.
Please note that page speed is not covered by the support team: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/
Thank you!
Hello,
I think that you use a plugin to optimize the css and js, and this one caused this issue.
Please deactivate those plugins and check if the problem persists.
Thank you!
Hi,
The newspaper theme seems pretty heavy, so please if it’s possible help me optimize it. Also, I am getting a strange error, so I am hoping you will help with it too because I might be getting this error on my site due to the theme and one of the pre-installed plugins.
Error:
There is an image named footer_bg.jpg that doesn’t exist on my website or the server but it loads when someone opens my website and takes about 1.31 secs which is huge.
See this SS: https://ibb.co/zRWrLtr
The image is used as a background image in some CSS.
Image URL: https://getthattech.com/footer_bg.jpg
Speed Optimization:
My website is doing really poorly.
The main reasons are the theme and plugins.
Here check my website performance: https://pagespeed.web.dev/report?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgetthattech.com%2F
It’s 28 right now.
Please help me with these issues.
Thanks & Regards
Hi,
I tried to upgrade PHP version on my host to 8 or above but my site slowed down significantly. Then I reverted to 7.4 and everything works fine. However I would like to use 8 or above at is is better optimized for performance.
Is this known issue, and is there something I can do in my theme configuration to resolve the issue?
My site is CuriousMatrix.com
Thank you.
Hello,
I did a test and for me works well -> https://i.imgur.com/cvQIxA4.png I saw that you use some plugins to optimize the CSS https://i.imgur.com/z4QfyWG.png please disable the option.
Thank you!
Hello!
I need to migrate my website to another hosting, and this one occupies 30 GB. I want to optimize it and among the things I want to fix are the thumbnails of many unused sizes.
Do I have a way (automated) to know which sizes the site is using?
(I saw this thread, https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/theme-creates-25-cropsimage-and-not-all-are-necessary-which-can-be-removed/, and it confirms everything I had seen before, but I don’t have an inventory of which blocks or modules the site is using).
Thank you very much!

Hello Jason!
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.
A full explanation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
Make sure you do not use Mobile theme plugin, if you use the mobile option 1 or 2.
Thank you!

Hello @Ozgurunlu !
The AMP only works better with the Mobile Theme plugin. From my point of view, if you don’t use the Mobile Theme plugin, then there is no reason or benefit to AMP. Please read all about AMP here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-amp-plugin-tutorial/

“If we choose “Amp + mobile” does that mean we force “&=1″ on all small screen devices and mobile phones?” -> No. These settings regarding the URL will be made in the AMP plugin.
Ideally, amp + mobile, so you can customize how the URL here: https://prnt.sc/Suz-eOBmge8- is displayed before activating the Mobile theme plugin.
I hope it is more understandable now for you!
Thank you!

Hey everyone,
Hope all is well.
Just imported the Real Estate Pro demo and am having a small issue where the posts aren’t loading correctly on the site. Recorded a loom clip to show you: https://www.loom.com/share/8be9daba72104c4eb0960875b256ea6f
Have already cleared cache and turned off the plugin (Siteground Optimizer) but that didn’t fix it, unfortunately.
Any tips?
Thank you!
Hello!
The AMP only works better with the Mobile Theme plugin. From my point of view, if you don’t use the Mobile Theme plugin, then there is no reason or benefit to AMP. Please read all about AMP here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-amp-plugin-tutorial/
To have the layout also on desktop(which I do not recommend it), you’ll need a cache plugin which does not feature options for a separate mobile theme plugin.
The Mobile Theme is a performance optimized theme included in the Newspaper main theme and it loads only for mobile devices. It comes with its own templates/design for page, post, category, etc so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout. For more details, please take a look here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/
Thank you!
Hi,
Usually, this problem occurs when the images are compressed and optimized. Can you check if you are using an image optimization tool? Do they look ok when you are logged in? Can you give me a link where I can inspect the problem?
Thank you!

Hi Anamaria, sorry, I didn’t understand, I apologize. You recommended the WP Super Cache, which we have installed. And many mobile pages are incorrect when we open them – they do not load the Mobile page we’ve created.
We are not using the Autoptimize, I just mentioned what our the server used, but I have changed to WP Super Cache.
What can we do regarding the mobile pages?

Hi there,
I have been facing speed issues lately with the Newspaper theme. The reason is the unnecessary plugins and scripts. I want to remove unnecessary scripts and plugins and speed-up the theme to load fast the webpage.
I came across one website. They are using the Newspaper theme. However, they have optimized the theme so well, that the webpage is loading within milliseconds. Also they are getting 99 score on Google Pagespeed for both, mobile and computer.
I am attaching the web URL below. Can somebody please take a look and help me, how to get a website like this with Newspaper? Because I am not into the style or design. I want speed and only thing that matters to me is fast speed and information delivery.
