Hi,
I am currently facing about the “served scaled images/optimize images” problem which was not shown earlier when I am doing page speed tests with gtmetrix and google pagespeed insight then all of a sudden this results was displayed after another test, here is a screenshot of the result in gtmetrix

and this is the result in google pagespeed insight

Hello nikkib312,
Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized.
-> https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?hl=ro&url=http%3A%2F%2Fyesitreallyhappened.com%2F&tab=desktop
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/
Thanks for your understanding!
Website is optimised, homepage loads quickly, but articles (links) take time to render / load, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Most website speed-tests report positive results, but the site isn’t snappy enough, feels slow – it stalls for a few seconds, then loads completely.
Hello,
First please make these adjustments in order to be sure you meet the requirements for the newspaper theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Then please check your cache plugin and make sure you only use wp super cache. Please check any caching provided by the host and disable it.
For page speed please use the following guides:

Hi there,
Approximately for 15 days, we are trying to change our theme to Newspaper theme. But We had some problems after changing. Our website is; https://muscleandfitness.com.tr/
After changing,
1. We are no longer adding any picture into our WP library, (it shows 404 error when I go to URL of the image)
2. Sometimes, the look of the website is changing randomly, and tagDiv composer plugin becomes passive without any interfere, I don’t know why.
3. Sometimes the still file is not being loaded, the home page look weird, I don’t know why.
4. The Website speed is very slow compering to the previous one.
I would be appriciate if you help us.
Thank you already.
No, I don’t use Cloudflare, I use Openlitespeed with LS Cache, but my site is working well, I only need to know where or how can I disable that frame, that loads every time i open the website, or click on the logo, or refresh the page. As I said it comes from the right side of the desktop cover all the screen then turn back.
Hi,
We recommend the WP Super Cache, but that does not mean that other caching plugins will surely not work.
We only made tests with the super cache up to this moment, that is why we know there will be no problem with it and we recommend it. There are plenty of theme users that have other caching plugins.
You can also use Cloudflare for more speed improvements. I found some guides you can use for inspiration
– https://wpdingo.com/setup-wp-super-cache-cloudflare
– https://tutreal.com/wp-super-cache-cloudflare/
Be sure to test the website with online tools, see where you can improve. Using caching and Cloudflare should improve the performance considerably.
Thanks
Hi,
1. From what I can see testing your website with the Google tool, your server takes quite a long time to respond
– https://www.screencast.com/t/oTXTfzCX
Maybe contact your hosting and have theme check why is this happening. You could also check some other topics, optimizing the website loading speed is not an easy task sometimes. Read this topic for example, there are more online
– https://wpcurve.com/wordpress-speed/
2. That would happen if Cloudflare rocket loader is active, disabling it solved the slide effect for most users.
3. Those elements were removed as they are not supposed to be there for pages. If they still appear for you when editing a page, then you are not using the latest theme version.
Thanks

Hi, I have some problems.
1. My website is slow, especially mobile. So I followed this.
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/is-it-possible-to-update-from-ver-7-4-to-8-8/
But it’s doesn’t work well. When I inspect on google chrome, I get so much “idle time”.
https://www.screencast.com/t/z3At5Rf3s7q
I don’t think it’s normal…
2. When I open my website, sometimes(not always) I get something like a shadow from left side to right side on screen. It’s like a effect and is an instant. Sorry I can’t explain well.
3. On TD composer, I can’t use new elements(breadcrumbs, post loop, page tile) for making Page.
It’s showing on left side(menu side), but I can not add the elements to right side(main side).
https://www.screencast.com/t/DfreZ5jM
Also, I can’t change a button’s background color on hover for “Hero”.
My website:
https://d-generationx.com/
My system status:
https://www.screencast.com/t/GdbhHVC5AsV
Could you give me some advice?
Hi,
1. Don’t know about that, we made no tests with that plugin. Maybe check with the plugin authors if that happens only with that specific plugin.
We also provide an AMP plugin in the theme package, it is a simple plugin offering basic AMP functionality. In the future it will receive more features
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-amp-plugin-tutorial/
2. Then there is a general problem if you can’t install any plugin. Check with your hosting provider and ask them to take a look. Also check the theme requirements guide and make sure there are sufficient resources
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
3. We provide a mobile theme plugin, which should improve the mobile performance. More about that here, if you would consider to use it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Of course speed is influenced by many other factors, website optimization takes a lot of work.
Thanks
1) can’t activate amp in my website, i am trying to use AMP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages
By Ahmed Kaludi, Mohammed Kaludi
when i install it showing 500 error
2) i can’t install updraft plus for backup plugin showing same 500 error
3) my google page speed in desktop is showing 84 and mobile is showing is 34, how to increase it ?
Hi,
That would be how CSS works, in cascade. For example in the header menu, the initial background color is white, also the default underline color is the blue color. The settings you made in the theme panel apply over these initial default colors
– https://www.screencast.com/t/10R6rLaE2mEE
So those will be loaded first and then the ones in the theme panel. Depending on website loading speed the effect may be noticeable or not. Try to install a caching plugin if you don’t have one, for better loading speed. We recommend the WP Super Cache.
I could also show you how to remove the initial colors if you should consider that.
Note that this is also somewhat browser dependent, note the difference between loading on Chrome and Firefox.
That block should display an excerpt, like this
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-2/
Check your settings for module 2 – https://www.screencast.com/t/VOeieHDugmfl
Check in the tagDiv composer as well – https://www.screencast.com/t/4tTsRZSXKjQ7
Check if you entered something in the manual excerpt for the posts, that will replace the default excerpts
– https://www.screencast.com/t/2F1VB9qTQC
Hi,
If this is your website, there are some mixed content issues at first sight
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1Wx8Ujhvn3lB
They are referring to some fonts you are using on the website and could influence loading speed.
Also plugins may slow down the website, try as a quick test to deactivate theme all, leave only theme plugins active, check before and after loading speed.
I see you have both page builders active, that would have a large impact on loading speed. Deactivate the one you don’t use. We recommend that users use the tagDiv composer, we constantly try to optimize this builder. Try as a test to deactivate WPBakery, check the results.
Install a caching plugin or use free Cloudflare. We recommend WP super cache as a caching plugin
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Or use Cloudflare with these settings
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
Thanks
Hey,
My website’s mobile speed is very slow with both Tagdiv AMP version and on the simple mobile theme. Also on homepage, posts, and pages the speed is very slow. Atleast I need fast speed for posts. I am using WP-Super-Cache plugin.
I also followed https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-increase-website-performance/
please help me out to solve the issue.
Hello Linda28,
It seems to be a delay at your header style which can happen due to some reasons. Try to disable the Speed Booster and also, optimize your website according to our useful guide from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Try to analyze the website and see what is loaded and what can be optimized. Check with GTmetrix or Google insights
– https://gtmetrix.com/
– https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
Such flashes may be caused by the speed booster plugin in some cases, maybe you have that installed. Each custom CSS code used or additional style, or font is applied over the initial or default settings, so there could be a slight flash before the final CSS loads.
Thanks
Yes, the speed booster plugin was the main culprit. I have deactivated the plugin and now the website working is smooth. Can give an idea why is this happening and how can I get rid of the flaw in future if I wanted to use the plugin with my theme?
If somehow, I can’t use it, then in that case would you suggest me another plugin like this?
Hi,
Most custom codes used and even theme panel settings will apply over the default colors. For example if an element is black and then you make it blue, the first color to load is still black, then blue is loaded. That would be how CSS works, in cascade.
This effect may be noticeable for a small or larger period of time, directly affected by the website loading speed. If the website takes longer to load the effect may be noticeable. Most elements in the theme have a default or initial color value, this will be replaced by colors you set.
Where exactly are you seeing this effect?
Hi,
For me your website loads very fast as well as the ads and sharing, please check here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/fTcOKvgB0N
There is a mixed content error that could slow down the loading speed
– https://www.screencast.com/t/cphgcvtlM
Please check in the theme panel and remove or replace the image found here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/AUWb6TZv4
Thanks
Hi,
There are many guides for speed optimization here in the forum, there are also online guides. Some topics here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/score-100100-pagespeed-with-newspaper-wordpress-theme/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspaper-theme-speedify-your-website/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
Speed also depends on hosting provider, active plugins, number of ads displayed, there are many factors that affect the loading speed of a website
Thanks
Hi,
There seems to be an error, a 404 on an image. This could potentially increase the website loading speed
– https://www.screencast.com/t/zLs7pq9u
I believe that image belongs to the custom ad 1, for some reason it seems it is not found. Try to check why that happens or temporarily remove the ad and check if this has any effect on the loading.
Thanks
Hello balu977,
I have tried to access your website but it seems does not work, sorry! -> https://www.screencast.com/t/1coAThReet7 Contact your hosting provider and tell this problem. Regarding page speed, please check our useful guide from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello kpople,
Try to make a new clean install to another subdomain for testing via FTP way, clear all the caches, remove all of the untested plugins if you are using something like this, use only required plugins and check the results. Try to disable the Speed Booster and check the website with this plugin in a deactivated mode.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
