Hello,
so of the plugins you use, there are those that also require memory of 256M, these are WP Rocket and WMPL -> https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/128-increase-php-memory-limit-in-wordpress -> https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/#:~:text=In%20order%20to%20run%2C%20WPML,%2C%20theme%2C%20and%20all%20plugins. So there is a possibility that this problem is caused by memory, as you and the host noticed after increasing the memory limit.
Also, to optimize the website with WP Rocket please check this guide https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/
Thank you!
Unfortunately, not quite so simple, there is a tutorial (https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/), but really much, you get out unfortunately not. You can do a lot with Cloudflare, but only with the Pro version and of course if you optimize WpRocket a little bit (https://www.andraware.com/wp-rocket-for-newspaper-theme/)
If it’s your own server, you can get a lot out of it with Nginx and Redis in conjunction with W3C Cache. And of course in which one throws for example some from the head (rds etc.)
Hi – here are the plugins I have. It’s odd because up to oh a week or so ago I didn’t have this issue. I don’t know if an update on some plug-in caused an issue or not.
Thanks for any help.

Hello @madpixel!
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. Edit the page with TagDiv Composer. 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 design 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
You can choose to use whichever one is more affordable and useful for you.
For the option 1 and 2, you need to deactivate the Mobile Theme plugin.
Thank you!
and Kinsta has added: “Your current plan has a hard limit of 256M for the PHP memory limit. We can leave the define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘512M’ ); since it can be added on your config file. Also, As 256M is a high value in most cases, it likely means there is a setting misconfigured within your plugins/theme. and reach out to the theme developers to optimize those ajax request moving forward.”
and they say:
“On your current plan, the hard limit for PHP memory_limit is only 256M. Your site’s theme panel requires higher than that. You may wish to consider upgrading the plan for more resources. Though you still need to reach out to your web developers and review the APM data to optimize those high ajax requests.”

Hello,
The remain problem seems to be from an inline css -> https://i.imgur.com/qLc5D1x.png this is not changing the opacity from 0 in 1. Most of the time this kind of problems has been caused by cache and optimize plugins (settings related to css minify, image loading).
Thank you!
Hello,
I see. If the WP Rocket plugin is installed, then please checked the settings from those guides (unfortunately we didn’t test the plugin with the theme and for this we do not know exactly the right settings)

Hello i already send a email for receiving support I already disable autoptimize the issue is still appearing. Hope you can help me.
Thanks!
Hi Calin, thank you for your answer.
We are using a plugin to regularly clean and optimize the database, was one of the first items we implemented.
I just didn’t understand about the ajax pagination. We are using it just in one place: one block on the archive pages so people can see older posts. Everywhere else there is no pagination (and we actually remove it from the query, like I said on the first topic, to have lesser calls to the database).
Is there anything else you guys can recommend us doing?
Hi,
I believe that the siteground optimizer has some settings for css and js, so it is possible some of them to interfere with the theme. Maye the css is minfy and set as inline or something like this.
Please check the settings related the those.
I hope it will help you!
Hello!
I’m sorry to hear about this. Please note that every page speed needs some improvement, and it is not enough to install the theme alone because there are many factors which can affect your page speed quality.
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.

Hello again,
After a few days of peace, the css gets crazy again.
It happened when we uploaded a new post.
I found it could be the host problem (Siteground) so I installed the siteground optimizer. It solved the problem.
But now the header dropdown menu stops to work.
Correct (list drops down when hovered): https://imgur.com/2VNRcGL
False (list doesn’t drop when hovered): https://imgur.com/JauZYHH
Do you know what setup I can alter in SG optimizer?
Many thanks!
Best,
Yen
My ad network recommended I should add placeholder containers to my images to prevent layout shift. They said the Theme Developer should be able to help take care of that.
Tested page:
https://boraboraphotos.com/where-is-bora-bora/
As the image loads in, it pushes the content down. This single shift is causing 0.06 CLS. Just this one fix should be enough to get mobile CLS within the passing range of <0.1.

This shows the CLS measurement from the above image pushing the content down.

They said once I take care of that, I will be in a great position to get passing CLS scores. The question is, how do I go about doing this??
thanks
Hello,
Seems that SiteGround have some options https://onlinemediamasters.com/siteground-optimizer-settings/
Thank you!
Hello,
I just did a test and for me the takes the heading -> https://i.imgur.com/XrmpoOk.png
I saw you have LiteSpeed and maybe some settings to optimize the CSS, which can be the cause of this problem, so please remove the CSS generate. https://i.imgur.com/ZEvXTwX.png
Thank you!
Hello,
Please let me know if you have used a plugin to optimize the CSS.
If yes, please remove it.
Thank you!
Hello,

– a link to this topic in order to identify you
Also, during the investigation know that we will disable the other non tagDiv plugins.
Thank you!

Hello canopi_life,
If the problem is usually when you are not logged in, then it can be caused by a cache plugin. If is possible, please do some tests without the cache and optimize plugins to see if the problem persist.
Another situation can be related to the browsers that are used.
Please check those and let us know the results!
Hi there,
with gtmetrix i was checking how fast is the loading of the website. (https://elettronauti.it)
three days ago when i was on the newsmag theme the rating of the website was B with a score near 90% (awesome)
but now, after i install newspaper the website slow down a lot, redoing the gtmetrix test now the website have F score.
i do not change the server or the cdn or caching things, i use memcache, siteground advanced cache system and everything i can use, minify js, css ecc …
Can you help me inspecting why ? and maybe can you help me to achive better response time ? i would like to get back to the B score i have before…
ps. i’m using also a plugin to optimize my images.
Thanks
