Search Results for 'optimize'

Hi @patrick93

1. Yes, I am using Imagify on some of my and my client’s websites. It is very useful if you have multiple authors and publish multiple stories a day. If you have a single author and have a good knowledge of Photoshop, I recommend using Photoshop to optimize images and make them progressive before you upload them on your server.

2. Yes, if you have local traffic, then there is no need to use Cloudflare. I believe having a Cloudflare free plan in combination with a premium hosting provider is a bad idea.

7. Unfortunately, you can not overwrite mobile theme files using a child theme. You can find style.css file for mobile under /wp-content/plugins/td-composer/mobile/style.css

Tip: If you have the same modified CSS code for both mobile and desktop versions, you can add it to Live CSS. You will not lose this on every Newspaper theme’s update.

I hope you will find this helpful.

Hi, the option you indicated in the screenshot in my menu is already disabled. I believe the problem lies elsewhere. Also, how to do the re-optimization? You say we need to re-optimize but I don’t know how to do it.
Thanks!

Hello, @gumball44

1.) Have you ever tested WP Fastest Cache? What is your experience with it? Especially compared to WP Super Cache.
I have never used WP fastest Cache plugin. I believe the fonts flash you are seeing is because of this plugin. I will suggest using WP Rocket plugin or WP Super cache plugin + Autoptimize Or Fast Velocity Minify.
For me WP Rocket working really well with these settings: https://www.infophilic.com/wp-rocket-settings-cloudflare/

2.) You say that Cloudflare can be used. Is the free version useful here too?
Yes, Cloudflare can be useful when you configure it correctly. For the blog site, free version is enough. But if you want more speed, then upgrading to PRO is a good choice.

3.) What is your experience with Gzip? Is it possible that Newspaper-Theme does not work with GZIP?
Yes, I am using GZIP with a Newspaper theme, and it works without any issue.

4.) By activating plugins my database has grown a lot. In my database there is a lot of data about plugins which I don’t use anymore. Does a large database damage the loading speed?
Definitely, having large options table in database affects site loading speed. You can consider using WP Sweep plugin to keep your site’s database clean. You can also reduce size of tables by removing Orphans options from tables.

5.) A question about the part “Removing Font Awesome”. With the code snippet only the essential icons are loaded. But which icons are essential? All the ones I select in the theme?
This is no more part of Newspaper theme optimization.

6.) You write that there is also a funcion.php for the mobile theme.
Is it possible to overwrite it with a child theme or do you have to add new entries after every update?
For example: Removing Emojis, Removing Font Awesome, or Preload Newspaper fonts.
Unfortunately, you can not overwrite mobile theme’s functions.php file using child theme. Hope, tagDiv team will fix this soon.

7.) There are several ways to add custom CSS. Where do you think it makes the most sense? In the Theme panel under Custom Code? Or rather under WordPress Design > Customizer?
Well, that is completely your choice. Adding CSS in theme panel or customizer will add it as inline CSS code on page. I prefer adding them to child theme’s style.css.

I hope you will find this helpful.

Same issue here. I had the plugin Autoptimize installed, and by deactivating the plugin it works here with images.

Yes I agree, the server I described is, politely said, overpowered for running a site on it unless you’re loaded with visitors. In addition, all images are heavily optimized and compressed, no external content being loaded (we tested this during the load tests we did).

Do you have any guide to roll back? I just wanna make sure nothing gets destroyed when doing so, since that’d be obviously the worst case and something every webmaster needs to avoid.

Fkvs, You can put it on a rocketship, it isn’t going to make the slightest difference, trust me, we have tried pretty much everything. It’s a scripting issue that arose with 10.3.8 and they still haven’t resolved it. It simply kills the page load speed when the page is served and you can minify all you like, move things to the footer, it still sucks.

Some of our pages, the front page included are now taking between 5 and 9s to render, depending on how we optimize. It’s an issue Tagdiv needs to resolve and they’ll have to backtrack to see what they did in the November update that stuffed things up. A solution is possibly trying to roll back to release 10.3.7 but that also now has issues thanks to Woocommerce.

I am also experiencing a massive slow down site-wide since the November update. My site flipped overnight to all our pages failing on Google console, all thanks to the upgrade. This is clearly a development issue on your end guys, please fix it. It’s unfair to expect your customers to resolve this with workarounds and the new update hasn’t addressed it, in fact, it now seems worse.

We have a large site running on Newspaper and we are going to be seriously pissed if we have to take it down to change templates.
How long is this going to take to resolve as it is affecting our rankings on Google and I am sure many of your other customers are wasting time trying to resolve it. Clearly, it’s a known issue you should be advising customers about.
Sorry, but I am seriously pissed off at this point. We have wasted hours trying to optimize code to resolve this. Please let me know when you expect this to be fixed.
