Hello
So as the title says I’m currently facing problems with my site loading times, I did caching, optimized pictures and everything I can and today I checked my site speed and it was terribly slow! They recommended reducing CSS, but I’m not confident enough to go messing with the theme code, I request your kind help to looking with me into this issue, I know you’re the only who could help.
Thanks
Pretty much all of the features of the theme work for me except the ads. When I click to the ads section and then click on any of the ad placement options, the theme just hangs with the circle going round and round indefinitely.
I have updated all of the resources to more than what the theme guidelines call for. See below. WP-Supercache is not compatible with WP 5.2 yet and was giving me errors so I deactivated and deleted it. I am using Cloudflare though for caching. I have successfully used the Newspaper theme for 4 years now, but recently had to change my host due to some difficulties with my old host. The problem with the theme has happened since I switched to a new host. I originally had version 9.7.2 when I switched to the new host and I downgraded the theme to 9.7.1 to see if the issue would go away, but the ads are not accessible in either version. I have also turned off all plugins except for TD Composer and TD Speed Booster, so there does not appear to be any plugin conflicts. I also copied my current .htaccess file below
Appreciate any help.

Hello !
After testing your website it seems that the slow load times are generated by the images in your posts as you can test it here: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/xembao.net/GoH3S0c8
Also please make sure that all of the theme’s requirements are accomplished: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-requirements/. Also take a look at this tutorial on how to increase your page speed: https://tagdiv.com/how-to-increase-page-loading-speed/
Thank you !
I’m wanting to have my logo appear on Opera’s speed dial. I can’t find a place on the backend for this.
To illustrate what I mean, I want mine to display the logo the way (1) does. For your reference, my website is (2).

It looks great on Chrome’s homepage, though!

Hi,
From what can I see this loading is made by faviconicon and foodtradenews.com
Also please check the plugin, please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate all non theme plugins, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, please deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.
Also you’ll need to optimize your website speed, for this please check this topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-6/

Hello !
In order to achieve greater page speed I suggest taking a look at our Page Speed Increse tutorial wich you can find here: https://tagdiv.com/how-to-increase-page-loading-speed/. Also take a look on How to Make an AMP Ready Website with Newspaper Theme here: https://tagdiv.com/amp-newspaper-theme/
Thank you !
So, just curious, is there a recomended number of cloud templates to have, in order to not affect the website performance ?
Anyway, i’am already doing most of the recomended speed, thanks 🙂
Hi,
Using mobile+amp you’ll have the same layout for mobile posts/pages and amp, but you’ll need to make a new content in mobile editor for pages and amp.
Using Amp you’ll have the same layout on mobile like on desktop, but the speed will be lower, and you’ll still need to make content for pages in mobile editor, if you want to have amp on pages.
Please check our documentation for mobile theme -> https://tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-get-mobile-ready-with-newsmag-theme/ and How to Make an AMP Ready Website with Newspaper Theme -> https://tagdiv.com/amp-newspaper-theme/
Yes, you can set a logo for mobile, you need to go in Theme panel>Header > Logo for Mobile -> https://www.screencast.com/t/WLhKBBUENy
Logo & Favicon in Newspaper Theme ->https://forum.tagdiv.com/logo-favicon/
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello !

Thank you !
Does having many (i mean, really alot) of cloud templates, may affect the website speed?
Hi,

Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized.

My site loads pretty well but if you look at the waterfall chart from WebPageTest, you can see that Newspaper.woff and Newspaper load relatively much slower than other elements on my site.
I understand caching, minification, defering JS, etc. concepts for general page speed optimization. I have gzip enabled, caching, CloudFlare, WP-Rocket, minification, etc. etc. etc. so please don’t refer me to a general post on how to speed up a website.
What I need to know what is specific to these 2 files that causes them to load slower than the others? ….and how can I get then to load faster?
Here’s the page tested

Hi,
I don’t think the page speed results are quite accurate for the time being, there is not enough data it seems
– http://prntscr.com/ng3puw
From what I know, now the testing method will take into account each users experience on the website and make an average. So despite the website being loaded quite fast
– http://prntscr.com/ng3ugp and being mobile friendly – http://prntscr.com/ng3umk the Google tests results may be different based on the website visitors experience. There are some details about it at point 2 here – https://www.searchenginejournal.com/mobile-page-speed-changes/272221/
A plus to have is also AMP, the mobile theme can be used together with AMP.
Thanks
From the last 4 updates https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?hl=ro&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vdtonline.com%2F i see my website on mobile don’t have speed. and from the last updates speed boster i do’t can install because it’s one problem.
Salut de la ultimile 4 updateuri siteul pe mobil imi arata ca nu e optimizat am incercat cateva optiuni pe aici dar pe mobil nimic nu reusesc sa il optimizez. Imi puteti da cateva idei va rog frumos de la ce poate fii (fondatorii acestei teme va rog nu imi mai dati link-uri de la oameni fara creier ca au optimizat ei perfect ca am incercat o optimizare cu cateva coduri in functions.php si am stricat site-ul o noapte m-am chinuit sa il repar, cei ce optimizeaza pun coduri bune si dupa cred ca le schimba habar nu am !!!!)? Multumesc frumos !!!!
Hi,
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. For minifying this file, we are using CloudFlare for our demo and works fine. If you want to read other views from our users, please check this topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tip-how-to-easily-minify-your-css-without-breaking-your-site/
Also, check all of your Ad Spots and if you have entered any suspicious code through them, remove all of them and check the results without them.
One of our top members here on the forum wrote his own optimization tutorial here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/ and here -> https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/
Basically, these are the theme requirements
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Another useful guide for increasing the page speed can be found here -> https://kinsta.com/blog/google-pagespeed-insights/
Lately, Google Page Speed Insight seems to change the layout and is not always reliable.
For minify CSS you can use this online tool -> https://www.minifier.org/
Thanks for your understanding!

Hello,
These could be symptoms of low memory allocation. Please make sure you increase your WP memory and php version and memory as well.
Please follow this guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and make sure everything in the system status is green.
