Hello,
I also have this problem with my Speed Booster 3.2: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/weird-page-loading-issue/
When I load the site I first see the black menu bar in the original website font – after a second it reads my css and looks good. The problem is that I really need the Speed Booster plugin as my site is to slow otherwise.
In this post (https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/weird-page-loading-issue/) you write about that this issue might not happen in older versions. Could you please send me the older versions: niels@natuurlijkhosting.nl
Or maybe there is a workaround? Can I adjust the black menubar somewhere so it turns the right color right away?
I hope you can help! Thank you so!

How to speed up your website:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/
Hi,
Google PageSpeed suggests to move css at the bottom of the page avoiding the page render blocking.
I’ve successfully used your page booster plugin for all js and css, but …content/themes/Newsmag/style.css?ver=1.6
If I add huge 400kb theme style.css to page booster plugin, website flicks until it is loaded at the bottom of the page. If I hold css theme in header, Google mark it as a red problem. How i can fix it?
Thanks
Hi.. No worries… i would rather keep the default wordpress comment system… But what I would like to do is to disable to section of website and email from the comment form! how can i do that?
Secondly how can I fix these things??
1. Your page has 2 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:
http://www.magscroll.com/…y-social-share-buttons.min.css?ver=2.0.3
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto%3A400%2C700&ver=4.1
2. Minify JavaScript
Minifying http://www.magscroll.com/…es/Newspaper/js/td_external.js?ver=4.6.1 could save 3.4KiB (10% reduction) after compression.
Minifying http://www.magscroll.com/…assets/js/js_composer_front.js?ver=4.3.5 could save 2.1KiB (36% reduction) after compression.
3. Leverage browser caching for the following cacheable resources:
http://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js (2 hours)
4. Minify HTML for the following resources to reduce their size by 1.3KiB (12% reduction).
Minifying http://www.magscroll.com/ could save 1.3KiB (12% reduction) after compression.
Currently I am not using any cache plugin because when i use WP Super Cache it makes my site slower than the normal speed.
Please advise me on that.
Thanks!
Hi…
I having the issue of site loading speed just after changing my theme to Newspaper.. with my old theme the load time was less than 2 seconds.
Currently it’s more than 6seconds which is too much for a site like mine. I have deleted most of my plugins and i tried W3 total cache as well… their is no difference in the speed.
I have followed the guidlines from the doc. but seems like nothing is helping… You might say that the images are not optimized… With my old theme i had more large size that i have now i compressed all my images as well but that didn’t help me.
I contacted my hosting provider and asked them weather they have some issue… they told me that from their end everything is fine… It’s theme new theme which is causing problem.
I would like to give me a quick solution on this so that i can resume my work. my website URL is http://www.magscroll.com
We are new startup and we changed our theme from the old to newspaper because we saw that technorati is using it.
Please help us solve the issue… it’s really urgent and important for us.
Thanks
Hello, i have been working on mobile speed for my website for a very long time, i followed all the instructions to speed it up. since i changed my template to responsive on mobile, my earnings and pageviews has dropped significantly, that is probably because of slow load on mobile.
my point is, if on desktop my website is making 100 requests and page size is 1 mb then for mobile it will be same.. but where desktop load it easily mobile will take time to load it!
so here is where i am trying to work, i tried to install wptouch plugin to my website but it is not working with it, it is showing shortcodes at home page..i tried to search on forums for solutions but nothing worked for me.
i have been on ur forum for a long, you guys are pretty good and reply all of us, but you need to fix this issue, because people who buy your theme, expect that it would help them to enhance their revenue. no doubt your theme is awesome on desktop but it do killing revenue for people who get most of their traffic from mobile, like me, i have 75% mobile traffic and it killing my mobile revenue!
please take this issue seriously and come up with solution, as mobile traffic is increasing everyday!
please come up with solution for us or we will have to change the theme!
Thank you!
For those who keep posting the same stuff over and over and don’t want to suffer the massive 14+ month old sticky thread on Pagespeed topics, I’ve chosen to condense many of MY own suggestions used daily with Newspaper and Newsmag into one new simpler post, which many may find useful for optimizing their site — some of this is also in the official theme docs, but some is not; some is for advanced users, some is special use case.
Rather than repost all of it here as duplicate post, I’ve put it all here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/
PLEASE do not post questions in that thread! I won’t answer them.
Post any NEW questions about theme as new ticket.
Remember optimizing YOUR website is your job, not the the job of the theme, or the community of users. It’s up to YOU to learn how to manage your own site. When you buy a car, the dealer nor manufacturer teach you how to “drift” … same idea here. You’ve got the car, you need to learn to drive it. 🙂
When running PageSpeed testing if you keep running into the issue with external Gravatars loading from gravatar.com, copy the images from your website when loaded, and then upload to your media folder, or other folder.
Use this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-local-avatars/
this will allow you to load all the author photos locally and *not* from gravatar.com, and it works with both the author box on posts, author page, and the author widget in sidebar.
HI, folks
I thought I’d put this in ONE place (it’s buried in the pagespeed sticky topic on the newspaper forum, but a lot to shovel through there).
This is some of the custom code I put at bottom of my functions.php file EVERY time the theme is updated, and for ALL our websites, regardless of theme (with some new code for Visual Composer in this iteration).
Basically this code helps with various things – some of which are needlessly often done in plugins and don’t need to be – including things for PageSpeed rating, and general optimizations such as default image compression level for thumbnails, etc.
Use if you wish; but please *do not* go post this in a blog article as if it’s your idea or I’ll come and punch you 🙂
*NOTE:
this also includes code you might not need
a) remove visual composer CSS from post pages
b) remove pingback URL
c) change default WP thumb compression from 90 to 50 (some like 60)
d) remove yoast admin bar (annoying)
e) add go away message for people trying to login guessing passwords; great to use with limit login attempts
f) delete enclosure in RSS feed
g) disallow some things in comments for security
AND MY MAGIC BUNNY CODE:
/*CHRISTOPHER's CUSTOM MODS - 1.10.15 rev15A - (c) 2010-2015 Chris Simmons */
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' ) ;

remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );
add_filter( 'pre_comment_content', 'wp_specialchars' );
function no_errors_please(){
return 'You appear to be up to no good. Please stop now!';
}
add_filter( 'login_errors', 'no_errors_please' );
/* Disable YOAST SEO Admin Bar. */
function mytheme_admin_bar_render() {

}
// and we hook our function via

return '';
}
add_filter( 'get_enclosed', 'delete_enclosure' );

$src = remove_query_arg( 'ver', $src );
return $src;
}
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', create_function( '', 'return 50;' ) );
function remove_pingback_url( $output, $show ) {
if ( $show == 'pingback_url' ) $output = '';
return $output;
}
add_filter( 'bloginfo_url', 'remove_pingback_url', 10, 2 );
add_action('init', 'myoverride', 100);
function myoverride() {
remove_action('wp_head', array(visual_composer(), 'addMetaData'));
}
function dequeue_visual_composer_css() {
if (is_single()) {
wp_dequeue_style('js_composer_front');
}
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_visual_composer_css', 1003);Note:
last item removes Visual Composer CSS from “post” pages (single). You would not use that if you use VC for anything on posts, obviously.
@lucian, Thanks resolved it!
You guys are awesome!
please take a look at my other question:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/website-optimization-via-speedbooster-plugin-problem/
Hello, this was my previous question regarding website speed :
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-do-further-website-optimization/
I followed all of your instructions, my speed test was improved on mobile and desktop.
but yesterday when i changed template layout on my site, google speed test dropped again:
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unbelievable-facts.com%2F&tab=mobile
On desktop it is good 91 out of 100
and there is only 1 render blocking css which you told me it can not be moved.
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…content/themes/Newsmag/style.css?ver=1.5
But on mobile there are some more scripts and css files showing on speed test, it wasn’t there before making changes in template:
Remove render-blocking JavaScript:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/…s/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js?ver=1.11.1

and these scrips and css don’t seems to have a ‘file id’so i can not move them using speed booster plugin.
please guide me further!
Hi everyone
On the topic of “PageSpeed,” I have already answered the same questions 50-100 times the past year and they are all covered in the “sticky” thread found in the Newspaper forum.
I am no longer providing any help with PageSpeed issues, as this is all covered in the sticky topic for advanced users; and for newbies, the settings/docs provided by TagDiv for the theme docs (link right side of page) will get you to the 80+ stage right away. If your score is below that then you *did not* follow the theme docs or this topic on the basics for speeding up your WORDPRESS install.
WordPress optimization is widely covered on the net – it’s not theme specific.
You need to have
a) fast hosting; $3/month accounts or “free” hosting are crap.
b) have gzip/deflate running on server
c) you need to set expiration headers in your htaccess (noted in docs)
d) you need to have an image optimization strategy (noted in docs); either via plugin and/or changing optimization setting in functions.php (covered in the sticky topic.. why not READ through it??)
e) you need to optimize your dbase regularly (wp-optimize plugin)
f) you need to limit use of things which call CSS, JS, fonts, ads, counters from OTHER SITES.
g) you need to test/explore refine some kind of caching system on the server or from a WP plugin (noted in docs)
h) high quality hosting will add mod_pagespeed
i) you need to look at manual minification of main style.css file
j) limit number of ad networks
k) limit number of plugins wherever possible
j) limit total number of images/thumbs loaded on post pages to something like 10 total; not 30+
k) use fewer module types to limit number of image sizes/thumbs; use text modules also.
When testing site with something like GTMetrix.com *READ* the information provided with examples and solutions. Only YOU can fix your own website, why ignore the info provided as so many on this forum(s) seem to do?
Advanced users:
a) local caching/loading of gravatars (I provide solution in the sticky thread)
b) mod_pagspeeed and mod_spdy if site loading via https (I offer help on that in the sticky thread and other discussion on mod_pagespeed; search forum)
c) optimization of font loading, hack theme to remove calls from headers/footers to Google and load via style.css; -or- use ONLY web-safe fonts and no Google fonts. (I also describe how to do this in sticky thread; although might need update based on current location of font calls with theme evolution/updates)
d) manual minification of other files, such as main theme functions files
e) optimization of wp-config.php file with comment removal, add paths to base URL/directory and theme directory by name (I show example in sticky thread)
f) add expiration type/ttl for custom icon font loaded by theme (betcha forgot that one!)
etc.
Learning to optimize your WordPress site is UP TO YOU TO LEARN. It’s not part of the theme. The theme supports very good speed rating IF YOU DO THE REST. The theme cannot fix your server, optimize your htaccess file, speed up time, or transport you off this rock. Google is a great resource to FIND hundreds of articles from the past decade on optimizing WordPress. You’re not the first person to do it.
Chris out.
(I am adding this here, as many don’t look at the sticky thread and/or folks in the Newsmag forum never saw that. Even so, most posting “my score is 40” clearly did NOT follow the basics found in theme docs.)
#1 TIP: don’t worry about render blocking elements until EVERYTHING ELSE is done. Those last items really only impact your last couple of points. I have 95 score with Newsmag without full optimization of the fonts or minification. It’s doable!
I spoke several times with a storage company that is what they told me ”
The issue which you’re experiencing is due to the ‘max_questions’ for the MySQL database which is being used by the blog. If the MySQL user exceeds the database query limit, which is 75,000 per hour per user, then the WordPress website will be redirected to the installation page. This setting is in place to ensure that the MySQL database cannot be overloaded with to many query requests. The queries will reset every hour and is kept by user; however every time the pages on your website are accessed you are still attempting to make queries to the database server. It will be fixed automatically within one hour.
There are many possible causes for the ‘max_questions’ limit get exceeded. Some of them are:
* A script is not closing the MySQL connection after accessing the database. In WordPress, such chances are less, however if there is an error in the scripting of a plugin or theme which you’re using, then the MySQL connection won’t close after querying the database. Hence, please make sure that you close the connection immediately after accessing the database using mysql_close() command from your scripts.
* Your scripts or pages are hitting too frequently from a specific IP address through brute force tools or manually or from other websites. You can check raw logs available in the /stats directory or check the Visitor Statistics for such possibilities. Using the .htaccess Hotlink Protection and the .htaccess Block IP Addresses would resolve this issue.
* Using a single database for multiple applications or having too many users for a single database. A solution for this is creating separate databases for separate applications as well as having separate users.
Additionally, if you get a lot of traffic for your WordPress blog, then I suggest that you use a caching plugin, such as WP-Cache. WP-Cache will make a file copy of a page and serve that up instead of the original page (refreshing it every so often). This not only speeds up your website a lot, but hits to the cached pages make no SQL queries or database hits whatsoever.

Hello, thank you for replying, i applied all above things to site:
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unbelievable-facts.com%2F
speed is still not really well, i have 80% mobile traffic on my website, please suggest me some more tips to speed up my website on mobile and tab platforms!
Why not ask your CDN service ? They’re the one who sold you the plan?
A CDN “can” “in most cases” speed up a website by loading things like photos from a server closer to the person viewing it; meaning somebody in NY might get an image faster than somebody in CA, if loading the image from a server based in NY.
This doesn’t always mean the pages load any faster for PageSpeed. We ended up just loading things from our own server as the CDN didn’t “really” speed things up for us in actual practice. It’s more useful on large shared hosting accounts.
This info may be useful 🙂
http://gtmetrix.com/why-use-a-cdn.html
I am on the best plan on http://www.siteground.com they have custom cache plugin i am using also they have CDN’s across the world. I also use CloudFlare Plus on top of that I have enabled compression leverage etc. I still can’t get my website to receive higher score or speed… Whats the point of the CDN then?
Hello, i have already follow your these guidelines to speed up my site:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-speed-guide/
But still my score on google speed insight is 70 and 84 for mobile and desktop!
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unbelievable-facts.com%2F
I have few questions please guide me:
1. it is showing i need to optimize CSS Delivery, i saw article about combining many css files to one, but i am not sure if it will be applicable in these 3rd part css below:
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…ontact-form-plugin/css/style.css?ver=4.1
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…ser/assets/css/js_composer.css?ver=4.3.4
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…content/themes/Newsmag/style.css?ver=1.2
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…alize/frontend/css/socialize.css?ver=4.1
first css is of contact form i am using, widget url is :
https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-plugin/
please suggest me good contact form, which will not create any porb.
2nd css is of visual composer i guess, please suggest me its solution too.
2. Minify CSS for the following resources to reduce their size by 10.5KiB (16% reduction).
Minifying http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…content/themes/Newsmag/style.css?ver=1.2 could save 9.1KiB (17% reduction) after compression.
Minifying http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…ser/assets/css/js_composer.css?ver=4.3.4 could save 1.4KiB (13% reduction) after compression.
How can i compress them? please guide!
3.Minify JavaScript for the following resources to reduce their size by 4.8KiB (3% reduction).
Minifying http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…assets/js/js_composer_front.js?ver=4.3.4 could save 2.1KiB (36% reduction) after compression.
Minifying https://www.gstatic.com/swiffy/v7.1.1/runtime.js could save 1.4KiB (2% reduction) after compression.
Minifying http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…themes/Newsmag/js/td_site.min.js?ver=1.2 could save 775B (3% reduction) after compression.
Minifying http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/…s/r20150122/r20141212/expansion_embed.js could save 512B (2% reduction) after compression.
How can i minify them? please guide?
And 1 more question, currently i am using dedicated server, should i try CDN? will it help improving page speed? if yes then how much?
Don’t test with GTMetrix it is not really accurate to be honest. Use this tools.pingdom.com. For example I test my website and also big website names such as cnet.com etc for example for cnet in GTmetrix it shows sometimes 3 seconds sometimes 20 seconds sometimes 6 seconds it is not really efficient… Another example just tested pcmag.com it shows 10 seconds. Overall I don’t use GTMetrix because I think pingdom has more servers to test and consistent test speed and results you can try it yourself and see!
Hi. First i want to say thanks for this greate theme and please sorry for my bad english…

Hello,
I want to ask if I can use the “Speed Booster” if I host my website on the WPenginge ?
They use some kinde of cacheing system.
Not a “problem” with Varnish; we just had the other caching options pre-installed with our setup and just needed to implement them, and no reverse proxy stuff. Also mod_pagespeed already had a function to connect to memcache for speedup, so it made the most sense than experiment with Varnish.
Lots of folks do use it however.
re: Memcached:
Websites using Memecached:
Wikipedia
Flickr
Twitter
Youtube
Digg
WordPress.com
Craigslist
Websites using Varnish:
BBC Wired Vimeo Zappos MorningStar Business Insider Thinkgeek
old article I’m quoting fyi, on “who uses”….
http://www.neonrain.com/blog/web-cache-apc-vs-memecached-vs-varnish
I should also mention we’re using the memory based caching because we have 32GB RAM on our dedicated server 😉
when I activate the plugin my website turns white.
@andirect
be sure to review this in the theme docs:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-speed-guide/
Ideally for initial testing of your site you should be testing post page, with all advertising turned off, as half the error messages come from ad networks. This allows you to “see” what is site specific vs external stuff.
The following all hurt your load times and speed:
1) social network “counters”
2) all externally loaded advertising
3) external jetpack elements
4) comments systems like LiveFyre, Disqus, FB comment box, etc.
5) too many images on one page (e.g., as on my page, no need for “latest news” in footer, since already in side bar, loading thumbs in yet another size!).
6) RSS or other syndicated elements loading from external source
7) gravatars for authors and comments (I use a local caching plugin to use local images vs loading from gravatar website)
Hope that helps 🙂
hello again, google says my website has low loading speed. Why is this ?
