Although I have installed and configured the WP Super Cache plug-in, I don’t seem to have benefited from the leverage browser caching feature on PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix inquiries/tests, and I keep getting low marks. I’d be glad if you help me with solving this problem.
I can give you the WP admin username and password if you need.
Hello
I have passed PageSpeed Insight and I have two main problems to solve.
The first one is that I have to remove Javascript which is blocking the display and CSS content from upper half page. The other one is that I must reduce server time.
I have already compressed to gzip and solve the problem of specifying brower cache editing .htacess file. I have noticed that score has raised to 64 and 84, on mobile and desktop respectively, but this score is not enough good. I would like to know how I could solve this problem
On the other hand, I would like to know how I could minify Javascript, HTML, and CSS and if you would recommend to me. I have seen on test that there are some theme files which are involved.
Thanks
Hi,

please help me
Hello,
I assume you see this message in google pagespeed: http://screencast.com/t/ayFdbR86N
That has nothing to do with your caching plugin. In order to Leverage browser caching you need to follow this guide: http://crunchify.com/how-to-speed-up-wordpress-leveraging-browser-caching-via-htaccess/
Or you can find more resources on google for Leverage browser caching on wordpress.
Thank you!
@Bintmusic if you use post style 1 google pagespeed slow donw.
But other styles dont slowdown your score. EG, i use Style 6 and i get over 85 points on mobile and PC using like button and facebook comments 🙂
Its something whit google pagespeed, really dont affect your rankings in serps
Hello,
Unfortunately we are not aware of any modifications made to the demo but on a second analysis with page speed I can no longer see the error in our demo or your website for that matter: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bintmusic.it%2Fbenessere-notizie%2Fmangiare-sano-fuori-casa-nei-fast-food%2F&tab=desktop
Maybe it’s google who changed a few things.
Thank you!
Hi,
is seem you solve problem on your page
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdemo.tagdiv.com%2Fnewspaper%2F10-landscapes-wont-even-imagined-exist%2F&tab=desktop
please let us know how you did…!
thanks
I guess you could try both methods …
I use that line in there as it changes the default setting from 90 to 50 (although 45 or 55 works better for some folks depending on size of thumbs) as used by WordPress generated thumbs — if using a plugin that calls on GDlibs/ImageMagick on server directly, then the setting wouldn’t impact that.
I’m not sure if EWWW or Smushit call the server libs directly, but one would presume so. I’m using the default WP setup plus mod_pagespeed for optimization (including on the fly conversion/caching to WEBP format), so not using any plugins.
Idea behind that is that thumbs don’t need very high image quality as they are just pointers to the post where the good full size image lives. WordPress presumes every image should be as beautiful as possible at every size, which is kind of dumb in the real world.
Hello,
The css is in the head of the document by default. People usually request to move it to the footer section as the google pagespeed insights suggest. Please provide an example of what css is not in the head section by default.
Thank you!
Regardless; not all themes are the same. Some themes are just text, like the default ones with WP; some include complex page builders like Visual Composer. If your theme has 5 options it doesn’t need much horsepower, with 50 options it does.
Only you can optimize all the problems with your site from the GTmetrix and Pagespeed Insights reports. You’ll have same issue with any big complex theme like this.
But once you optimize your site, it works great.
20 sec page load is an issue with all the problems listed which impact how “fast page loads…”
If you’re loading large images vs compressed, if the page elements are not gzip/compressed for browser, it takes 3x as long to load.
You will have to follow the guidelines to optimize your site for ANY complex theme.
Sorry Chris,
I had disable all my plugins to see what effect it has on speed.
As you can see from http://imgur.com/u71Q8da my:
PageSpeed Score is 96%
YSlow Score is 86%
This should mean that the site loads well however is 20+
When I use a different theme it loads in under a few seconds
see this report https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetopupdate.com%2F .. How horrible… My site is totally new, and no post or media in the site.. The page speed is really horrible in default.. I want my money back if you can’t fix this issue…
hello i have just installed this theme on my server..
and it looks very very poor
how to fix it ?
– Added plugins name code
– activated Speedbooster
– cleared cache
– run Pagespeed Insights and still showing scripts and CSS to move to footer
– tested functions.php
registered scripts

as I can see, styles are no longer with links as scripts are .. progress 🙂 but not for Pagespeed
Yes, well if you LOOK at the report
a) you need to optimize some of your images
b) you need to set expiration headers for some of the file types
c) you need to make sure gzip/deflate working for some file types
Did you clear cache from old site before switching to new theme?
Did you regenerate thumbs for new theme?
Did you reset anything loading from CDN?
Best to test with post page vs home page for speed testing.
You need to actually *do* all the fixes outlined on both GTMetrix and Google PageSpeed insights for the problems, like compression, expiration headers, etc.
HI
Scripts are moved to footer, i can see that in source code, but Pagespeed Insights is still telling me to move them ..
any idea?
Thank you
Hi,
Check your site using google’s PageSpeed Insights: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ and check online or use our instructions as solutions based on their notifications.
Also make sure you go trough our server/host requires and recommendations: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Our page speed guide and covered the most important aspects that google notifies you of and based on which it classifies and grades your site’ regarding speed. The theme has been developed to be fast but it may still need configurations on this matters so test your site using google’s page speed insights testing tool and make sure you follow the guide instructions and methods then test your site again.
We can’t offer speed customization services at the moment so if you still need guidance on this or you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer to do this for you.
The fb comments plugin should appear by default on your post pages. Where do you want to add it? Please let us know and provide more details on this!
The smart list 7 lightbox image can’t be disabled just for the smart list 7 images only if you disable it from theme’s panel > post settings globally: http://screencast.com/t/pIg0TBAqCSsE
Please provide more details about the configuration you want for the fb and disqus comments.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
There is no appropriate “speed” — benchmark. As every web server varies as well as the level of optimization you do to it.. for instance are you optimizing your wp-config.php file ? TTL and additions to your .htaccess, mods to functions.php file to remove redundant code from headers, remove external loading elements, optimize font delivery from Google by taking the code and putting into your style.css file to only load fonts and not the CSS, etc.
Does your hosting account have a 10/100/1000 switch connected to net vs 10/100 ?
Are you running mod_pagespeed or http/2 ?
Each “post” can load at different speed based on content, server optimization, caching, etc.
Server response time is very important (ours is 0.33 seconds and Google complains about that!).
Some basic testing with *no caching* for reference (all include google fonts, and icons font, jquery from google, google fonts).
Some of our pages load in 2 seconds and not fully optimized, but 1.1MB in size, google fonts, non optimized disqus plugin, 3 ad units on page. http and mod_pagspeed basic setting.
Smaller page, 2.01 sec. (no disqus, 2 ad units, google fonts), 950kb.
Now, on a fully optimized page – no caching:
2.09 seconds (per Pingdom), with 100/100 “grade” 271kb, no ads, google fonts, https page!; mod_pagespeed, NO caching. So, 2.09 sec. on the single run (re-run might be quicker due to some server caching on back end), and yet gets 100/100 grade.
Google does like sites with sub 1 sec loading, but this requires massive amount of micro-optimizations and very effective caching, and generally no external content loading (e.g., native fonts, etc.).
Just some food for thought
… I’m actually working on optimizing our new CMS, and going through the same shenanigans to see “best we can do pre caching” — meaning 100/100 pingdom, 100/100 UX and 98/100 speed on Google Pagespeed insights (hard to get 100/100 consistently it seems … I tweak it, then they hit me with the 0.33 server response too slow!!!).
Always a fun time! 🙂
Hello,
Merry Christmas to everyone 🙂
Guys, where I can download or buy your speed booster plugin.
And what I can to read to have the same pagespeed results as you had with newspaper theme?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Nick
Hi folks
not available for hire at the moment, as I’m knee deep in setting up our new CMS for 2016 (moving our main business CMS from a custom system built in 2005/7 to WordPress for 2016) and doing all kinds of even weirder optimizations like changing the wp-content folder name to assets, setting up ACF 5 Pro to add custom fields for posts … I am shooting for highest possible PageSpeed insights score since I have 100/100 for everything under https using our classic CMS … but more challenging with WordPress.
So, best bet is to use my optimization thread in the forum (also found in the “best of forum” section in the theme docs, tutorials, at this time for a lot of my best tips.
Will have some really interesting other stuff to impart once this project is done. But this particular project is using a home-brew theme built on Bootstrap 2 and *not* TagDiv theme since it needs to be much more “lean” for our newswire system.
Thanks for thinking of me 🙂
Happy New Year!
Hello, In as much as I would want payment in order to help you speeden up your site, I will give you my own guide for free.
Okay, just try this Optimization tips, It is a post in this forum.
I hope it helps you like it did me.
My pagespeed are 🙂
Cheers, I won’t mind a payment though 😉
Happy holidays
Hi,
there is a problem that the latest version did not solve
button like facebook collapses PageSpeed google 90 to 73 even on your demo site
I expect that the problem will be solved in 2016 …
Thanks!
Hello Rasken,
Please tell me what kind of header style do you use? I need to know this because depends then I try to change the color of the hover and the classes are different.
If you are using header style to default, you should try the code below to change the hover color, like this:
.menu-item-913:hover {
background-color:red;
}
The result: http://screencast.com/t/qeroQ2Ml2
If you are using, for example header style 3, it is a bit more complicated because appear a lot of classes, like this:
.td-header-style-3 .black-menu .sf-menu > .current-menu-item > a, .td-header-style-3 .black-menu .sf-menu > .current-menu-ancestor > a, .td-header-style-3 .black-menu .sf-menu > .current-category-ancestor > a, .td-header-style-3 .black-menu .sf-menu > li > a:hover, .td-header-style-3 .black-menu .sf-menu > .sfHover > a {
background-color: red!important;
}
The result: http://screencast.com/t/Lweewp77j
As default font, our theme use ‘Roboto’ and ‘Open Sense’.
For more information about pagespeed, please check our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
About your second request, you can try to do minification to style.css to improve your website speed. We do not recomend this thing because it is possible to appear some errors in our theme but you can try to do this. We have reports about this that function properly. As reference, you should check this tutorial http://screencast.com/t/lgzXo4l8iG and also you should find a plugin to do this for you.
You can do a quick search through the forum to see other tools you can use: https://forum.tagdiv.com/search/minify/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello, I was using Explicit theme by industrial themes with W3T Cache Plugin and my website performance rating were PageSpeed Score = A (96%) and YSlow Score = A (90%) But after installing Newspaper theme and Super cache plugin my scores are PageSpeed Score = D (61%) and YSlow Score = A (84%) Performance report
Thanks Marius! 🙂
Can I reply my domain privately?
I’m still having issues finding the correct classes/id’s for the menu items.
Basically what I want to do is have one of the menu items become for example green when hovering on it and the rest should be red when hovering.
I found this “menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-has-children td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-134” as a class but it did not work with
.menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-has-children td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-134 a:hover{
color: #00ff00;
background-color: #00ff00;
}
in the custom CSS theme settings.
I also tried only using .menu-item-134 with the same css code after that.
Thanks for the answer and Happy Holidays!
BONUS QUESTION: What is the default font that you are using?
BONUS QUESTION 2: What happend with the theme speed? I was under the impression that it was supposed to be very fast, it only gets 31/100 from google pagespeed now…all my plugins are disabled.
