Please make sure to use our newest tool called tagDiv CSS Analyzer which comes in handy to resolve some of your issues. Take a look at the video guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnkVapqhIHc
“This custom tool performs an automatic test to find missing CSS rules applied by user interaction. Moreover, you can manually interact with a chosen section/component from the page while the tool records all the involved CSS. It will generate the final CSS file for this page and also will split the rules in Critical CSS to be loaded in the website’s header.” ( https://tagdiv.com/whats-new-in-the-newspaper-theme-10-4-update/ )
We tested our tool on our demos, and we have such great results!
Take a look at this topic because it could help you: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/css-analyzer-step-by-step-and-doubts/
Also, please set width on the logo https://i.imgur.com/oSUDVIU.png or try to remove and add it again.
For mobile, you can use a mobile theme plugin or mobile page, which can help to have a better score for mobile, you can find more information in these articles

Hi,
Unfortunately, for the moment our theme is not working with this option from WP Rocket https://i.imgur.com/bA177gC.png also this plugin was not tested with our theme and I do not know if our suggestions will work or not since we do not have this plugin in our list. Maybe one solution will be to exclude some js files, but I do not know if this will work or not. We recomand to not use that option.
For the moment the only guides for pagespeed with tested plugins that we have are those:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/autoptimize-install-configuration/
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello!
The problem comes from your website’s page speed, or some external factors like the internet speed, that’s why maybe the images are not loading so fast.
We recommend using the WP Super Cache plugin with this configuration: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure
Our developers are working a lot to improve the page speed in every update.
So, please make sure you use the latest update of the theme and plugins because it may help you for your page speed. First of all, please make sure you have a backup done and then you can update the theme and the TagDiv plugins also.
I recommend you to make a backup and update plugins and the theme via file transfer, so that you don’t face any error: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/

Hello!
I can not see any difference for the posts with more than 1 image: https://www.screencast.com/t/IYPtqc474
Please try to improve your website by following the help from the Google PageSpeed Insights and I’m sure you can have a big score too.
Thank you!
Hello!
This is a tested plugin with our theme, but you can use another cache plugin which suits your needs. Of course, this is not enough to optimize your page speed.

I noticed that mobile theme page is not always served to Google PageSpeed Insights tool
Cache is not a problem since sometimes in first try I see Mobile theme page was rendered and then in second try it is responsive page
Any experience with that?
It never happened to me when I opened pages on mobile phone.
I started to use mobile theme to gain speed and better PSI score.
Hello!
Please check this guide and take a look how to improve your page speed by preloading the theme fonts: https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/#preload-newspaper-theme-fonts
In order to delete permanently a font from the theme, you should remove from the code the line which loads it and then the actual files of the font.
Hope that helps you!
Thank you!
Hello!
Please make sure that you have enabled the proper thumbs with these sizes in order to show the featured images properly, check this: https://www.screencast.com/t/N18dR3qZrh
After activating the thumbnail sizes you need to regenerate your thumbnails using a plugin. Check this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/

Hello,
I have big difference in mobile and desktop PageSpeed Insights.
PageSpeed Insights for desktop version is above 90. It can go to 95 and even 98.
At the same time PageSpeed Insights for mobile version is much lower – 55 to 70.
On two sites I have cloud template and on third I use default template.
I expected cloud template for mobile will give speed boost.
I know speed depends on web hosting server but on one site I use CDN and on one I have semi-dedicated hosting.
It is strange that at the same measurement in PageSpeed Insights there is always same difference between mobile and desktop page version.
For example:
Mobile version:
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.6 s
Total Blocking Time: 330 ms
Time to Interactive: 6.0 s
First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s
Desktop version:
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.0 s
Total Blocking Time: 10 ms
Time to Interactive: 1.1 s
First Contentful Paint: 1.0 s
That is for site with Cloud template and CDN.
Is that normal? Do you have any suggestion what to check in theme?
On site that is using non-Cloud template I don’t use mobile theme version.
I plan to cange that site to Cloud template.
GT metrix is great and is above 90. It goes up to 98%.
Thank you
To solve this problem you need to optimize better your website, the CLS and LCP are all about the website page speed, to can get better results, you need to optimize the website better.

Hi jpack, the path on the icons is a little different set, for example in this case the path it is set here -> https://i.imgur.com/IAt1pvh.png also here -> https://i.imgur.com/iGkaZNI.png
I think that Bettina suggested to try to optimize those like I suggested here -> https://i.imgur.com/ngoCEoF.png -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/low-scores-on-mobile-theme-amp-and-desktop-pagespeed-and-gt-metrics-optimize/
In your case I think it should be like this:
// Preload Newspaper fonts for responsive theme (main theme) function dns_prefetch_responsive()
{
echo '<link rel="preload" href="https://your-domain/wp-content/plugins/td-newsletter/images/icons/multipurpose.woff?2" as="font">';
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'dns_prefetch_responsive', 0 );
I hope this will help you!
Hi which speed Optimization plugin you suggest for newspaper. My website is pluscreen.com and I want to optimize my all issue that is showing in Google pagespeed insights. The plugins that I am using now is WP fast cache, auto optimize and litespeed cache.
Hi,
I have been having problems with the CLS score for about a month on my web https://viajeros30.com. The final score of all my URLs in PageSpeedInsights are very good, all above 90% and the real-time data (Lab Data) indicates a good CLS score. Nevertheless, field data (data collected during the previous 28-day period) has been steadily increasing for about a month. This constant growth of the Cumulative Layout Shift has caused almost every URL of my website do not pass the Speedtest evaluation and in Google Search Console Panel the page experience is giving very negative data, every day worse.
I have seen in the forum that I am not the only person to whom it happens https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/facing-cls-error-on-mobile-device/
And I know two other people with this same template who are experiencing the same problems. It cannot be a coincidence.
Any idea what may be causing this problem?
Hey, Vlad S
1. You seem to have misunderstood the issue, the ads are showing completely fine on mobile view.
It’s the desktop view where we are having the problem, the ads simply don’t show. We have inserted the ad-codes in the theme panel for sidebar ad, article in-line ad and article bottom ad, from all of these only bottom article ad and sidebar ad shows up, in-article ads are not showing at all.
In the Adsense account, auto ads are set to on.
2. Big Grid Flex 1 is working as expected, however Posts Loop for various categories are not working correctly. We have two articles with Review as a category but it doesn’t show. Likewise for the News category we have multiple articles that were added recently but they don’t show up. From this Screenshot you can see that the latest articles in the Post Loop are from July but there are 4-5 news articles with News category that were added in August.
-Big Grid Flex 1 filter settings: Link
-Review category section which shows no posts when there are posts with Review category: Link
All the categories section have the same problem.
3. Gtmetrix Waterfall Tab shows that the image (3.jpg) is loading , this image came with the Magazine Pro Template.
The image in question: Link
How can we remove this image?
4. We had successfully passed core web vitals for both Mobile And Desktop on Pagespeed insight after a lot of optimization, however now its shows core web vitals not passed for Desktop, even when no optimization changes where made to the site. Can you provide us any help to pin-point the reason for this?
Help us in resolving these issues, thanks in advance.

Thank. I resolved. Work ok.
But i have other problem. Por example y newspaper 11.2 don’t show more tools for post settings. I have only two options. Besides it there is not an option for featured images and so many images duplicates in my template.
Finally, the template show en page speed with 20 for mobile https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?hl=es&url=www.elpirata.pe.
It no speed offer to customers
Ok, i found the “issue”. If I disable the cache of mobile devices, all the images are loading.
Any advice to trace the grade back to the pagespeed test? 😀
Hi!
AMP validator swears at my pages.
Example:
https://www.apartments.news/dizaynerskie-shtuchki-i-krasivye-ukrasheniya-vashego-interera/amp/

I also noticed that the AMP page is somehow incorrectly displayed on the Desktop version of the site:

At the same time, in the mode of viewing from mobile devices, the page is displayed correctly:

Mobile + AMP — ON:

Without debug mode, PageSpeed sees the AMP page:

The latest version of the AMP plugin is installed.
I checked for a plugin conflict.
I disabled all plugins except AMP and Tagdiv.
I was cleaning the cache.
What to do? Help me please.
Hi rinkdemi, I think that this font is the default one from browser and this is usually, display until the one set in the theme it is load.
Some tips will be to preload the fonts, this can be done using some cache/optimize plugins, or adding the code in functions.php (it is indicate to use child theme for this) -> https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/#preload-newspaper-theme-fonts.
Also another method that it has good results it is to use a custom font, set it as general and disable the rest of the fronts, like google fonts … -> https://i.imgur.com/78NY2Yn.png -> https://i.imgur.com/YfPMFNk.png -> https://i.imgur.com/1KFt8YN.png
I hope this will help you!
Let me know the results!

I have 2 staging enviroments with the same error from google pagespeed tool
https://exclusiveweb.gr and
https://nealive.gr
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?hl=el&url=https%3A%2F%2Fexclusiveweb.gr
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?hl=el&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnealive.gr%2F
It cannot be a coincidence
Hello again
I am totally not covered by your answer, it seems to be a major Bug in tagdiv composer and i have identify it now that I am trying to build the staging site brick by brick, its not about cashing plugins speed etc.
I have tried in the beginning to migrate to another Vps host with plesk migrator tool, lost several days in trials and errors and DB’s 100% when I was just surfing to the new environment.
Right now its the 10th time I am importing posts (160.000) and media files etc separate to the new WordPress installation and try step by step to see what is causing the error.
When I restored the production (https://sportlive.gr) theme settings to the staging one (https://nealive.gr) i saw that when I was doing all the filtering to the categories the composer is very sensitive and if there is an overlap in the filtering it causes several errors.
Also even google pagespeed tool seemes to identify the errors https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?hl=el&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnealive.gr%2F as you can see from this its causing FAILED_DOCUMENT_REQUEST.
So there is nothing to do with the speed, something with tagdiv is messing the whole staging enviroment to the new server!
Right now I removed all the overlaping categories filtering and kept it to just minimum and Without mobile template to check it, and at the right corner the section ΑΥΤΟΚΙΝΗΤΟ when I am placing the correct filter category “ΑΥΤΟΚΙΝΗΤΟ” its messing all website and its showing the error you can see in the google page speed tool,
When I remove the filter and leave it to all categories empty the error miraculously gone and I don’t know what else to do!
I am absolutely sure that is a bug and your devs must seen to it and tried to tackle it with all the possible ways I knew, plesk cloning, wordpress importing taxonomy per taxonomy and for SURE the error is in the homepage filtering and the tagdiv composer!!!
I am available to give you creds for the staging https://nealive.gr to investigate further!
I am very lucky the production site is working without flaws but I cannot migrate to another host I am STUCK with IT!!
my mobile theme give me cls issue. here is report: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.learningall.com%2Fjoin-pak-army-as-medical-cadet-though-army-medical-college-cmh-lahore%2F&tab=mobile
