Hello,
Please use this guide for page speed optimization: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
As a note on speedbooster: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
Thank you!
Hi,
If the hosting is not an issue, you have to check what exactly is causing the slow loading speed. Analyze the website, error logs, deactivate all plugins except theme plugins and see if this has any effect.
There are guides for improving website speed that you can read

Hello,
Newspaper theme generates miniatures of size 534×364
This size is strange for google and for optimization plugins. I have optimized all the photos, but this strange size is not compatible and mark error in pagespeed
https://fotos.subefotos.com/e4c6b08f038318a89748408a4cd973a8o.jpg
How can I change the size of the thumbnails in newspaper, so that they are 533×261 or 534×462?

For photos;
you need to upload optimized versions to begin with; obviously a 250kb image that should be 50kb will be problem with speed. Some plugins like ‘smush it’ or similar can help. If your host supports mod_pagespeed, that can also resave large images in faster formats like webp.
For thumbs, try changing default compression level (e.g., ’60’) in your wp-config.php file, then “regenerate thumbnails” to redo all those at smaller sizes.
Hi,
@jermyn7 As mentioned the speed booster plugin has a predefined internal list of plugins, if it detects other plugins installed it will deactivate. This is implemented because it could cause issues with various plugins.
This check could be disabled by editing the plugin, a solution is mentioned in the provided topic. Note that some plugins may not function well after doing this.
If you want to improve website speed there are multiple topics here on the forum containing advice and guides with good results. Some of them here

If by any chance is set to white this could happen. Change it if it is and check the results.

Hi,
I have these numbers in Google PageSpeed for my website https://news.ecoindustry.ru: desktop – 87/100 but mobile – only 72/100. I installed and set WP Super Cache according your recommendation. What can I do to make the speed better?
Thanks on advance.
Hi,
That should not be a problem, if everything is set and configured correctly. For example the theme live demo uses a setup like this in the htaccess file
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
This configuration works but there are other methods
– https://gtmetrix.com/enable-gzip-compression.html
You could ask your hosting provider to take a look in the matter, or do it yourself if needed. More useful information here
– https://varvy.com/pagespeed/enable-compression.html
Thanks
Hi,
There is no documentation for setting Total cache, because we only tested Super cache. Try configuring it with similar settings if possible and check the results.
However based on previous user feedback, this caching plugin could cause potential issues with the theme. But you can make some tests and see how it goes if it is absolutely necessary to use it.
Here are some useful page speed guides that you can follow as well

Hello,
I want to optimize my page with the booster plugin for the pagespeed (google), but honestly … I do not understand a lot of programming.

Hello culturezvous,
Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized. Notice that is not a simple task and if you do not have any experience in this regard you will do not bring good results for the theme. Also, notice that we have a speed optimization tutorial but this is addressed only to advanced users. So, if you follow the steps which are presented in this tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ you can increase the page speed loading and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because the speed optimization services are not covered by our support policy, as you can read here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/ Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ regarding on dedicated server to fit our requirements.
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option to minify the style.css file and we cannot recommend any plugins with this functionality because is not tested with our theme.

(sigh)
Theme doesn’t insert ads in your site, you do when you setup ad networks. Those ads are served from other servers which “place content on your site” to load the ads; those elements for the ads load from other servers and have tracking (they are ‘ads’). Try optimizing your pagespeed/speed with *no* ad networks running.
Also, anything loading from external sources, such as ‘how many likes’ etc. are loaded from external servers and slow down your site.
For best speed, you need to disable ANYTHING being loaded from external locations: ads, gravatars (use a local image plugin for author photos), likes/shares counting, weather app, jetpack, etc. — then look at your site speed/optimization.
Turn things back on, check impact, decide if you want to keep them.
Welcome to WordPress! 🙂
Hello TagDiv Team,
My website is very slow on Mobile, some images are not loading. Users can’t access to the menu, when I click on it nothing is happening… I don’t understand why. Plus my Pages Insight scores are pretty high: 88 Mobile / 92 Desktop: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmybeautifuleurope.com%2F&tab=desktop . My GT Metrix score is high too.
I checked this page: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ and I still can do some improvements from this page. But I don’t understand why before it was working good 🙁
Can you help me detect what is the issue on my website?
Thank you very much for you awesome work 🙂
Hi,
Please try and test without the ad implementation you currently have. Remove all ads/plugins and test again. It seems that it takes a considerable amount of time loading the ads.
Then try deactivating or reducing the number of images displayed in the footer Instagram.
There is a guide for improving page speed available, test the website with the Google page speed tool and follow the recommendations
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
It seems to specify that the server response time is not adequate
– https://www.screencast.com/t/eZmOZsB6
There are many page speed guides and discussions posted by the theme users, with great results

Yes I sure do.
And google seems to agree: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsandbox.southbaychildrenschoir.com%2F&tab=mobile
Please use this guide to improve your page loading speed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thank you!
Ok, solved now. If there’s a fellow amateur wondering what to do, this is how I did it:
1. I found out what server type my web hosting was using. Answer was “Apache”
2. Copied a piece of code from here under Apache: https://varvy.com/pagespeed/enable-compression.html
3. Pasted that into my site’s .htaccess file – and done.
PageSpeed Insights results doubled.. woohoo!
Thanks for the comment.
Web host said the following:
“GZIP is enabled on our servers, but you have to implement it yourself.
Here is a list of WordPress GZIP plugins: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/gzip/”
What is tagDiv’s recommendation for the plugin?
And, sure thing it’s an ongoing process learning to run WP sites. It’s just strange that an almost fresh install of a “light and fast” theme with very light articles (50kB image per article), it gives 35/100 on Google PageSpeed Insights. Yes, amount and compatibility of plugins might affect, or web host speed. But I have read similar kinds of comments on the forum. I understand that you at tagDiv might now give the standard answer linking to the speed optimizing guide but I hope you are working on a more user friendly solution for the future.

If using jetpack, or certain cdn setups, or if your host is running mod pagespeed, these can affect image quality.
Hi,
As a comparison you could check the Google search page source, which contains only the search function
– view-source:https://www.google.com/
So basically you would like to make the website faster. That can be done regardless of how many lines are being loaded in the page source (HTML, CSS etc) There are many topics on the forum in this matter that you could follow. Some of them here

Hi. Hoy can I disable Google Fonts on my website? It’s because I want to optimize my website and improve my Google PageSpeed Insights 😉
