Hi,

Hi guys, so i bought the newspaper theme and i imported a demo to see how it is.
My problem is that the site loads very hard and when I did a test on “google speed test” I got 10/100 points.
What can i do to solv this?
Hello Lian,
1)I have inspected your website AMP and the featured images seem to work as expected, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/PHn6igWOn
2)Please notice that we cannot provide speed optimizations because it’s not covered by our support. Please check the following topic from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/site-not-loading-sometimes/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
For me that page loads almost instantly, no flashing appears whatsoever. That flashing is caused by the way CSS works in cascade and will be noticeable in combination with a slow loading speed.
But that would not be the case here from what I can see. The website is fast.
If you could mention what exactly you want to change in that page and how, I will give you a solution.
Thanks
I have other issues again;
1. Featured image is not showing for AMP post (mydomain.com/post/amp/) on Google AMP tester’s Search Result Preview and also on the real search result – everything was fine when I switched to AMPforWP plugin, but I prefer tagDiv AMP design (ads look better than those of Ads for AMP by AMPforWP) if possible.
2. I use tagDive Composer’s Grid 3 on the first row of my homepage. Its perfect on desktop but on mobile device. Only 2 articles out of 4 are visible, and I need to swipe left to see the remaining 2. Please check thechinexpress.com on mobile device and you’ll know what I am trying to say. I wish I could make everything showing perfectly on mobile device without having to do something to make it. Its fine if I use tagDive mobile theme plugin, but it drops my website speed a lot (also need to defer parsing of js a lot, etc.) and adsense page-level ads does not work on it, which is important 😉

Hello Rohit,
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.

I want to make my header constantly change to 4 different Colors (See example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amRDYrLHwpI)
I know this is not possible in the theme panel. But I was wondering if it is possible through css or html? And even if it’s possible. Would it effect the speed of the website dramatically?
Thank you!

Hi,
For me the website is loading fast, home page loads under 2sec while posts around 3sec. You could follow tutorials provided by theme users to optimize further, there are many veterans in this forum with extensive know-how in the matter. Some topics here

Hi team,
We all know that google will soon implement a new algorithm, which will benefit the fastest websites in mobile version.
I have optimized my website as much as possible, I use td booster, td mobile, etc….. I use a fast server (OVH Cloud) and also a CDN service to help load images and data (CDN77).
I got a 99 on pagespeed on google, on my cell phone.
But the speed of first data (FCP and DCL) never improves. It’s always “stockings” and me, I want to get “quick.”
Can I get some advice, please?
I can modify my website, add or remove, but I want to get high speed.

Thanks team, I love newspaper
Hello friends
first, thanks for the excellent support distributed by the TagDiv team. I am happy and amazed at the quality and speed of the answers.
Undoubtedly, a TagDiv is the best to produce WordPress templates.
Well, now let’s get into my problem.
I have my site making requests for static files (images, css, javascript) with cookies on all requests.
I would like to make requests for static files without using cookies (free-cookies), and for that I would need to create a subdomain, and even tweak it in the WordPress and database settings.
Well, I’m scared, and I do not want to ruin my site, which I’ve been working on for several months.
Any tutorial or anyone to help me with this step?
My goal is to have a faster, more efficient website and follow good performance practices.
Thank you again
Alexandre
Hi,
There is a plugin provided that may help with render blocking, the tagDiv speedbooster plugin. But this plugin will not work when it detects other plugins installed then a predefined list
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
There is a solution to disable that check and making further tests
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
Disabling it could break plugin functionality that is why it was implemented. But that may happen with other page speed tools. You could make tests with it, or try other optimization methods or solutions online. There are many speed guides provided bu theme users, here in the forum

You could try to follow some speed optimization tutorials, there are many provided by theme users that achieved great results. Here are a few

Hi,

Browsed it for a while, must say it is quite impressive in terms of loading speed. Nice job indeed, congratulations.
Thanks
Hi,
There seem to be multiple errors in the inspector console on your website
– https://www.screencast.com/t/FaNCkSndZ4L
Most seem related to the ads on your website. Maybe you did not implement the ads properly, try removing them temporarily and see how this affects then website. Additionally try as a quick test to deactivate all plugins except theme plugins. This should have an impact on speed, plugins are the main cause of website speed issues.
Also check the theme system status and make sure there are sufficient resources allocated by the server (especially WP memory)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
This would also be a limiting factor, if not set properly.
Thanks
Hey guys i have a question , if you check my website http://www.techbot.gr , my mobile version when i click to see the menu , is extremely slow , and that was since the first day i had installed the newspaper theme , any idea how can i speed things up for mobile version?
Luckily we have a fiber optic connection with a high speed transmission and that works very well for us. We have no problems when we browse through other websites or platforms on the internet.
Please try to connect to the web again from any mobile and try to open the menu. Please confirm if you can do it without problems.
Thanks
Hi,
The WP Super Cache is recommended to be used with the theme, other plugins or configurations can cause issues. To test page speed it is always recommended to first remove ads if possible, and deactivate all non-theme plugins. It also depends on the hosting provider.
The autooptimize plugin could cause issues with the mobile plugin, try disabling it and test again.
There are many guides you can follow here in the forum regarding page speed, provided by theme users who achieved great results. Some of theme here

Hi,
That code would be an example of the implementation used on the live theme demo server. It may be different by server. You should contact your hosting provider, they might have a recommended method or service in the matter, that will work.
Also you can read some tutorials posted by theme users for good results

@amerikaliturk Test without plugins, leave only theme plugins active. Check the results like that. There are many speed optimization guides here on the forum as well, you can read them and try some of the solutions

Tnx, I didn’t know there is Newspaper version 8.7.2, so for me it was problem with old version.
8.7 has speed problems and web site is very slow with Newspaper 8.7.
After manually upating of Newspaper from 8.7 to 8.7.2 my wp-admin and website is finally fast again and works great.
Tnx for support.
