Hello trailblazer,
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.

Hello alecaus,
Check if the Speed Booster is enabled in System Status. It can be disabled if you are using some untested plugins which are not tested with it. Otherwise, please check the following topic from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/security-and-backup-always-incompatible-with-speed-booster/

Hi,
The featured image can be bigger, for example the live theme demos use in some cases much bigger image sizes
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
This will however not have an impact, these original images will not be loaded in their full size on the website. Only thumbnails created from them will be shown
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Of course images can be further optimized. If you do not set featured images the modules in block and grids will display a default placeholder thumb. Of course your hosting plan has be ready for increased content and traffic
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Suggestions for website speed are many, in this forum and also online

Hi,
I am creating a lot of posts on my Newspaper theme site (50 so far). And now my site load time is slowing rapidly. For each post I’ve added a featured image using the recommended size of 1068 x 713. I believe this is the problem.
http://blockchaintrailblazers.com
How can I speed up my site? What minimum size image would you suggest is best for a featured image? Are there any other suggestions you could make to speed up site? Is there a way to avoid using featured images altogether? (without them the drop-down shows blank. Can I get it to show the headline there?)
To reduce image size, can I open up “edit editor” and scale down size of image or would I need to resize an image outside the website with an image editor then re-upload?
Thx

A backup plugin and a security plugin are the bare minimum requirements for a wordpress website. I have tried a couple of security plugins (one free, one premium) and have tried to use backupbuddy, which I have paid for and use on about 20 sites, but if I use them, your speed booster plugin is disabled.
Is there anything that doesn’t disable it but allows backups and security?
I also use wp-rocket (on 20+ sites) and have yet to have a problem with it. It seems to work okay with your theme but the theme status page says I’m not using a cache plugin. Why is that?
Hello mradamrothwell,
I have checked your website on mobile and it seems to work as expected but on Google Page Speed Insights I saw some warnings. Try to make a new install to another sub-domain for testing with a fresh install, use only the theme’s required plugins, clear all the caches and check the results.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
can anyone help me with this page / website
justifyingfun.com/best-battle-ropes
The mobile speed in particular is very low on pagespeed insights. Any ideas how i can speed up this website? I’ve tried most of the optimisations, cloudfare, adding code to ht access etc. I’ve followed as much as i can from the speed guides here and posts on the form but i’m stuck
many thanks
Hi,
For me your website loads quite quickly, homepage in about 2 seconds and posts in just under 3 seconds.
From what I can see there are some timeouts on some resources that are trying to load
– https://www.screencast.com/t/JYmeNiIOzI
Those seem to be related to a plugin
– https://www.screencast.com/t/HerqPcvvHbS
Also there a a few mixed content warnings related to some images. All of these could potentially slow down the website. Try to fix them and check again.
Also consider using caching if you do not already, we recommend the WP super cache if possible. There are also many speed optimization guides here in the forum
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/

Hi,
1. We would need a link to your website so we can take a look at these issues. The mobile menu will be accessible as soon as the page is loaded. In some cases because of slow loading speed or maybe files that cause 404 errors (not found), the mobile menu will be delayed in it’s functionality.
Or there could be conflicts with other plugins which break the mobile functionality. We will try to identify what is the cause in this case.
2. The menu should be sticky at all times if enabled
– https://www.screencast.com/t/BHd0JQZEfz
3. Maybe you have strong caching, however when changes in the website are made by you, the changes should be applied, that would be the ideal functionality. Check the cache settings if possible or CDN settings if used. The theme does not have a caching function so other factors are the cause here.
4. The contact page is a normal page, if you installed a demo it should be like there (different images however). We will take a look if you can link this page here.
5. The weather widget can be configured like this
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/weather-widget/
It will work as soon as you configure it with an API key as mentioned, and valid location.
6. You will have to configure the social counter with your own data
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
Edit the social counter either by editing the page with the tagDiv composer, or in the Appearance->Widgets section. Each instance of the counter has to be configured.
Thanks

Hi,
I have tested my website via Google page speed, but the score is very low.
Furthermore, I have no understanding. Can you help me get the score green?
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
Page speed must be improved constantly if you want to have the site load fast. You have to make a few adjustments on your host in order to have good loading speed. Please follow google’s instructions here: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?hl=en&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcrypto-prince.com%2F&tab=desktop

Hi, I recently installed your theme because of it’s supossed speed in loading. (http://ARRIBAELCAMPO.COM.MX) I have seen fast loading demos, but Upon installing and activating the theme it’self, I am net with the surprise that My site loads too slow (up to 3 minutes) or doesnt load at all.
I have deactivated all plugins to see if there are any differences, but the site still doesnt load. I am only using the pluggins recomended and no others.
¿What am I doing wrong? I realy need my site to work, and it’s why I bought this theme.
