I uninstalled the Litespeed plugin from the host and installed the Wp super cache plugin but the website is still very very slow.Please help me improve the Website speed because newspaper theme is fast but I still can’t understand why is my website is so slow and it takes that much time to load for users.
Hello there,
My website https://techelucidations.com/
is loading very slow even when I am using newspaper theme prebuilt pro demo and also after that customising it.I am using very less plugins too as compared to other competitors like beebom.com who also uses Newspaper theme.
I am using Hostinger’s WordPress Hosting which has Litespeed cache preinstalled and the hosting is based on litespeed and I also got the premium features with it on using litespeed cache on my website.But when I try to minify js or css or html the website doesn’t load properly as customised.The header messes up or anything which is not ideal.The page optimization don’t work the way it is supposed to.
SO PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS.My pagespeed insights score is very very low even though I am using Mobile theme with AMP.And I am also serving images in Webp and in the lowest size possible and Also using the Low quality image placeholder in the Litespeed console.
I want to know how should I speed up my website?Should I change the caching plugin because I have premium access to this litespeed plugin but when I will switch I will have to use the Basic free version of that new plugin.Or is there any way to use both at the same time?
please get back to me.
Hello,
The page speed is not related only to the theme that you are using, this is affected by plugins/content/ads/ external resources, etc.
I just checked your website and it looks that your images and thumbs are not optimized, for example, you can use EWWW Image Optimizer plugin, also, you can try other plugins like Autoptimize. => https://www.screencast.com/t/dPuNRR9u Your website needs an optimal speed that’s why you need to make some settings also to help for the improvement.
By the way, we have such a great result with this new update and with our new tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnkVapqhIHc
Our tool is running only on normal pages and not for posts or categories for example.

However, page loading speed can depend on many factors, and each website is unique from this point of view.
Let me explain some of these factors and maybe they give you some starting points for optimizing your website.
External factors: server speed, if you are using CDN or not, the external resources loaded by your website like ads, fonts, tracking scripts like Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Twitter analytics, Hotjar and so on.
Internal factors: the number of elements on the page, image size, image formats, if you are using mobile optimized layouts, console errors, if you are using the Standard Pack plugin on not if you are using PRO demo or a standard one.

If you goto my website: https://armchairjournal.com/, there is a menu at the top with submenus. If you click the subcategory ‘short stories’ under ‘Fiction’, it does not show any results. This keeps happening for other menus also. At the backend, the subcategory short stories has 4 articles and none of them show up.
It is also not an internet speed issue as the articles never come under the subcategory, how much ever I wait. How do I rectify this?
hello,
I have a small website that provides gaming guides called gamerhabitat.com. I was seeing some steady growth and getting about 500 users a day on the site, then it started slowly declining because the site speed was slowing and my google rank was being effected. I switch to the news theme last night to try and speed things up, log onto my analytics today, and haven’t had a SINGLE users on the site today. None of my URL paths have change, but I did end up changing my logo. Does anyone know what might have caused this problem?

Please fix the initial server response time of my website. I was facing LCP and CLP issues on mobile and desktop and sought your help. When I gave my admin panel access to you, your team have changed something for optimization. But rather than any improvement, it is now worse.
My initial server response time has increased. On GTMertix, my score was 100/100 https://imgur.com/a/nXhU24K, now I am seeing 84-100 https://imgur.com/a/Qi7LBWo and B grade because of the initial server response time. Kindly fix that. I have replied to you via Email with what you have done. But No one is responding.
PageSpeedInsights is showing initial server response time is 2.73s whether it was never more than 0.56s. Facing the issue for more than 1 month and now another problem occurred with the initial server response time.

Unfortunately, all javascript files from our theme get combined into a bigger, minified javascript file which gets delivered to the client and original files get removed from the package. So, even though you edit the original files, they will not get recompiled at all and so the changes will not take effect to your website.
Thank you for your understanding!

We are building a long term collaboration with our customers. You can see on our demos what page loading speed score can a website loaded with content can have. However, page loading speed can depend on many factors, and each website is unique from this point of view.

Thank you!
Hello !
Please send us a link to your website in order to take a look. But please note that a drop of speed is expected since using more elements than the mobile theme usually offers.
Thank you !
Hi we are experiencing a very slow upload speed on media.
Even on files below 1mb it take forever to upload.
What we have done is to test the website on a different hosting provider. The same issue is there aswell.
We have also disabled all plugins to see it the problem still exist.

Thanks
Hello, @sabyp,
1. You’ll need to reset the license key from that website: https://www.screencast.com/t/Zt12bpyX and remove the theme (delete), in this way the license will be available for the new website and you can use the theme without any problems.
2. WP Rocket is not tested with the theme, but many users use it without problems, but you can check this guide -> https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/
3. Cloudflare works well with the theme if it set as in our guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
4. The Lite Speed Cache plugin is untested and may cause problems with unrecognized mobile theme plugins and mobile pages, for example, but you can try it.
Thank you!
I’m sorry and I know it is not nice to see your work destroyed.
Hello !
I have inspected your websites and both of them have files that are not loading and take a lot of time to retrieve the information as you can see here: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/polvora.com.mx/Hg18PbAC/

Thank you for your understanding!
Hello!
I’m sorry to inform you in this way, but if we didn’t test this plugin, we can’t say if it will work or not. You will have to test and see. I can recommend only something that is tested and it is working 100%. There can be a plugin conflict with every untested plugin, but we are building this theme to work with the tested plugins. So, our theme was tested with those plugins: https://www.screencast.com/t/TLZqOCb6F
I hope you understand my point of view!
Also, we have some requirements for using this theme. Make sure that all the settings are like in our requirements, please follow the guide carefully: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
Our interest is to help our clients efficiently and provide solutions which are working 100%. For this we need more information to understand the issue and we try as possible as we can to reply in a short time. So, I didn’t mean this: : “that’s your problem, not ours” , and I will never say these words to our clients because we want to help anyone even if they don’t have paid support.
Regarding to your issue, after update if you just use our newest tool without reading some information about it before, you can probably destroy your work(website). This tool was built to help and not to damage your speed and quality of your website. Some clients don’t have any problem after update, but some clients has a lot and I know it is not nice to see your work damaged. That’s why we recommend all the time a full backup before every update.
If you didn’t run our tool and also you have some issues about plugin compatibility with our tested plugins, then this means it is our fault and we will solve the problem.
Also, if you don’t have the plugins up to date, any solution will not work for you that’s why I suggest to give it a try and check because if you had an old version to your updates, then the theme update is not updating your plugins automatically.
Also, you should reinstall the TagDiv Composer again and delete your cache(even from your browser).
In conclusion, if you really want to use those plugins which are not tested with our theme, then of course it is your choice and you can use it, but our support policy mentions: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/ that we can not provide support for un-tested plugins. What you can do is to contact our custom work team here: https://tagdiv.com/premium-customization-services/ and let them know which plugins you want to use and they can change even our theme files for you and solve your issues.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi
Question 1. I know the newspaper license is valid for 1 site, so can i uninstall it from one and use it on another website? I need to change the host (upgrade to a VPS setup) and my primary website doesn’t seem to migrate properly due to previous host limitations.
Question 2. WP Rocket is a paid caching plugin but I prefer to use it because of added functionality and ease of configuration. Is the Newspaper theme compatible with WP Rocket?
Question 3. Does Newspaper theme work fine with Cloudflare CDN?
Question 4. Open Litespeed or Nginx for reverse proxy on apache server, is the theme compatible with them? Open Lite Speed uses its own caching plugin called Lite Speed Cache. Is Newspaper theme compatible with this cache plugin?
I will appreciate a faster response. I have just lost my 6 months of work with my previous site and am starting afresh. Your support will be highly appreciated.
Hello !
As you can see here the Page speed of your website is affected by this files: https://www.screencast.com/t/t1tjzAuRR Some of theme are theme related, some are heavy fonts, some images, Please send us a screenshot of your System Status Tab and make sure that all the requirements are met as you can see here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
For the Mobile Theme I’m not sure I understand what do you mean by registered users ?
Mobile Theme plugin is non editable using tagDiv Composer. Only the options from Theme panel.
Thank you !

Hello!
Yes, because your website need an optimal speed that’s why you need to make some settings also to help for the improvement.
By the way, we have such a great result with this new update and with our new tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnkVapqhIHc
We have clients which are so excited about their results ( you can check the score of this website for example:https://osaopaulo.org.br/ ) and clients who are disappointed because they just make an update and nothing else, that’s why I said if you will try to make a little effort I’m sure you can have such a great result too, of course if you want.

Hello !
1. The CSS Analyzer can be found in your admin bar: https://www.screencast.com/t/4xSXeNuLF This is a tool which comes in handy on optimizing the CSS of your website. More information are available here: https://tagdiv.com/whats-new-in-the-newspaper-theme-10-4-update/ Also please note that our video team is working as we speak to create a video tutorial about it.
2. This depends on what content you have. My personal suggestion is to try a PRO demo and remove the old one. This will automatically change all the elements that disappear when you remove the standard pack plugin.
3. This can be found in tagDiv Composer. As you can see here: https://www.screencast.com/t/ulZmDw7ZMfR by hovering over the titles of options it will show you what each option does.
4. There have been improvements made in order to make the Newspaper Theme more speed friendly and be easier to index by google.
Also for other inquiries please open new topics. This has reached page 4 which is very hard for other users to read.
I hope this was helpful !
Thank you !
Hello,
I was happy with the Newspaper 10 theme, but since my recent purchase I’ve been having some technical issues with the theme. My sidebar is not displaying on the post page using the PRO templates; this issue is described in this page in the forum https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/sidebar-not-displaying-in-post-page/.
Furthermore, when I scroll either up or down normally on my single post page, the theme is displaying broken shortcodes on the screen during the scroll, and these then disappear after I have finished scrolling. I wish to work through this, but on this project I don’t have the time for that.
Additionally, I was hoping that the most recent update (10.4) would help me a lot with site speed, but it just has not brought the website load time increases I was expecting. I’m using CDN caching, minification of HTML and Javascript, next-gen image formats, pre-loading fonts, lazy loading images and ads, pre-connecting origins, and reducing CPU intensive tasks and core Jquery feature pre-load with a paid plugin, but Newspaper theme is just not bringing the site speed I wish for.As you can see, I’m implementing a lot of optimal site-speed increasing measures but the theme is not helping me.
I was temporarily happy with theme, as it looks good, and I really wish it would have worked for me, but at the moment I have to pass on the theme. I have already sent the refund request through Envato market, please approve it at your earliest convenience.
Hello,
I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, from the first topic I understood that you want a better speed of the website, and for that, you want to optimize those files.
Also, from the last reply, it seems that the reported problem was from the host.
Thank you!
Hey guys,
Im having some issues with the theme.
First one is that when in mobile theme – settings , when i select mobile on “use mobile theme for”, it shows the mobile version even in desktop. The only way is to set it on AMP, but i want to show the mobile version on mobiles, for improving speed.
Also, when i go to edit my main page with tagdiv composer, every time i want to set a block or function to the site, it doesnt refresh.. i just keeps loading. Also, when i want to delete a block, the button that give me the option to acept the changes keeps appearing after i click on it, also not loading the changes.
The website is http://www.zona-militar.com
Thanks!
