Hello komsak,
I suppose that you are referring to the appearance of a flash/time loading when you enter on your website, right? This behavior appears when you have additional customization through custom CSS code and also, I suppose that you are using the Speed Booster plugin. Please notice that the CSS are working in cascade and the first time will take the code from style.css that is set it by default and then the theme will take the custom code that you have changed from Theme panel and practically this flash is generated by this cause. As a workaround, you have to check your style.css and try to add directly in this file your desired custom code. So, if your problem is still there, please try to revert the theme to the default settings, without any customizations and let us know how it goes. Also, you can try to make a new fresh install from scratch with the latest version of the theme and check the results. Also, please make sure every time you cleared caches. Noticed that the only files where you will have to edit are style.css.
If you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
That most likely is a browser related problem, there are multiple reports online about AdBlock consuming much too many resources. It is best to test website loading speed without any addons or extensions for the browser. Please let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks
Hello frankcf,
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 is 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 to our requirements. For an example, you should check our demo preview because this website is optimized.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I really like the Newspaper theme, but whenever we test it on occasion, it always ranks slowest vs. other themes out of the box. Are there any examples of sites that are using a current version of the Newspaper theme that are fast and optimized? Would love to see some examples and understand how they achieved it.
Thanks!
Hi,
Page loading speed can be affected by many factors. Plugins can have a negative impact on website speed as well. You could make a test and disable all your plugins except the ones provided in the theme package, clear the cache and check to see if the speed has increased.
This could be also related to the ajax requests that the complex Visual composer elements present on your page are making. You should try to reduce the number of requests, like block pagination, ajax filter etc. from each of the block settings – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/ and see if this has any effect in this matter.
Thanks
Yes, looks like you need to spend some time optimizing your site/server setup!
See the theme docs/tutorials for some tips on how to speed up your website regardless of theme.
You can also ‘test’ one of your posts with GTMetrix.com to get some specifics on stuff like caching, time to live, gzip compression, image compression, doing a manual minify of your style.css, etc.
( I don’t work here. )
I changed all the fonts to default font from font panel. But I still see Sue Ellen Francisco font getting downloaded.
I want to improve the page speed of my website, so want to stop the font from getting downloaded.
How can I do that?
Hello WakeUpCallProject,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using the Header Style 8 which has a central logo set it by default and then, with a CSS custom rule, you aligned it to the left. This thing happens due you have 2 rule over your logo. The default one which is written in style.css and the second one which is written in custom CSS box.
This behavior appears when you have additional customization through custom CSS code and also, I suppose that you are using the Speed Booster plugin. Please notice that the CSS are working in cascade and the first time will take the code from style.css that is set it by default and then the theme will take the custom code that you have changed from Theme panel and practically this flash is generated by this cause. As a workaround, you have to check your style.css and try to add directly in this file your desired custom code. So, if your problem is still there, please try to revert the theme to the default settings, without any customizations and let us know how it goes. Also, you can try to make a new fresh install from scratch with the latest version of the theme and check the results. Also, please make sure every time you cleared caches. Noticed that the only files where you will have to edit are style.css.

Hello,
it seems i have issue with images loading on scroll, when i scroll down to the end of the page, i have last row with no images. Even worse when i resize browser window to tablet size, images are not loading at the middle of the page.
I’m using mod_pagespeed plugin.
Website: https://www.f1news.lt/
Thanks for your help!
Hi,
It seems you have a lot of images in the posts, that is why it is recommended to use a caching plugin. I see you have WP Super Cache installed, the website should work properly with this caching plugin. To make it faster you could follow this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ and further optimize the loading speed.
The error you are having could be fixed with the solution provided in this topic
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/fetching-with-google/
Hope this helps
Thanks
Hi, I’m optimizing my website (with newspaper installed )to get as few plugins as possible..
As newspaper plugin I have :
1.Slider Revolution
2.tagDiv Mobile Theme
3.WPBakery Visual Composer
4.tagDiv Speed Booster
Visual Composer is required to edit the pages and it’s ok
tagDiv Speed Booster it’s ok
Slider Revolution : can I delete it? Or is it necessary for the theme to function properly? (as for example Visual Composer) ?
instead for tagDiv Mobile Theme which is the difference with the basic mobile theme (already responsive) only aesthetic? or other?
thanks
Hi,
I have inspected your website and it seems to be working properly, the loading speed is very fast
– https://www.screencast.com/t/QCtviL2cce
For the errors try disabling all your plugins except the ones provided with the theme, clear any caching installed and check again. Also update the plugins bundled with the theme to the latest version, from the theme package.
Thanks
Hi,
I have inspected your website and it seems to be very fast on all the pages you mention
– https://www.screencast.com/t/3AyDVQ4zt
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Q4U5T9QMNz
The difference between the loading speed is very small, almost non existent. You could follow this guide to further improve website loading speed – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Also it is recommended to use the WP Super Cache plugin along with the settings provided in this tutorial
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Thanks

Hi,
This depends on how well the website is optimized. Your website loading speed seems to very from very fast to very slow. It is also recommended to use the caching plugin with these settings
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Also try as a test to disable all your plugins except Visual composer, clear the cache and then check to see if this improves page loading speed. Some plugins can have a negative effect on website performance.
Thanks
Hi,
I can not see the image you provided. Also I have inspected your website and it seems to be loading properly at the moment, and with proper loading speed – https://www.screencast.com/t/LhH3EZxzBEb
I am not seeing the problem you mention and partitioning when the website loads.
Thanks
Hi,
If the website is loading slowly, here is the recommended cache plugin and the settings to use for best results
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
And some advice to help improve page loading speed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Please note that also plugins can have a negative effect in this matter. For the link you have provided above you can see the time spent on loading all the resources – https://www.screencast.com/t/ylP6a4Tcc
You need to identify the causes and remove them, or think of a way to optimize them further.
Thanks
If you pull content from other websites, not related to theme. Some sites can block external loading without permission.
For images to be used as thumbs, they need to be set as ‘featured’ which needs plugin to generate from the image in post from other website.
Might not be your issue, but your note wasn’t very specific.
See the theme docs for tips on how to speed up site pages; of course if loading stuff from exeternal site you have to wait for content to load from other site — nothing you can do to ‘speed up’ that.
( I don’t work here. )
Hi,
The mobile theme has no default option to change the font properties. I believe this is meant to help performance on mobile devices. Maybe options in this regard will be available in future updates, and also not have a major imapact on speed. We have not made any extensive tests with custom fonts, and I could not say how it would be best to use or modify the method provided in the topic. You will just have to make tests and see what is the best way to implement this for your website.
To upload multiple fonts you could check this topic
– http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7018535/use-multiple-custom-fonts-using-font-face
If you would like to remove google fonts you can check this topic – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/do-i-really-need-to-change-all-the-text-fields-for-fonts/
The fonts loaded will be only the fonts used on the website, not all the fonts available.
If you would like to make your website faster you can follow this tutorial

Thanks
Hi,
We have not had any reports regarding this issue that you are having with the admin panel. Usually plugins are responsible for causing problems and interfering with the functionality.
The theme has these requirements for the server – https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and also some modifications to these parameters if needed – https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Also I see that your website is taking some time to load the images – https://www.screencast.com/t/36E3Eyg4 and the whole content.
You can try and use this caching plugin with the recommended settings – https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ and this guide to optimize page loading speed – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thanks
Here is the issue,
I have tried 3-4 different method to insert inline ads after several paragraphs under post content ( both using plugins and without plugins) . It works perfectly.
But I noticed that when we use it with speed booster plugin, it has one weird issue.
First of all, based on info available here- https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ , I delete this code from speed booster file to make it work with other plugins:
// disable the plugins if there are incompatible plugins
$active_plugins = get_option('active_plugins');
//print_r($active_plugins);
//die;
foreach ($active_plugins as $active_plugin) {
if (!in_array($active_plugin, $this->allowed_plugins)) {
define('TD_SPEED_BOOSTER_INCOMPATIBLE' , $active_plugin);
return;
}
}
and then move the JS and css file to footer using file ID. It works very well with all other plugins installed on my website. But for this example- let’s consider that I don’t move any other files.
before activating speed booster. Here is how ad looks on my site: https://s30.postimg.org/6gjkrz7cx/ads-1.jpg
you can see that the ad after pragraph-1 is properly aligned to center within post content.
After activating speed booster, here is how it looks- https://s12.postimg.org/8lqlmqmp9/ads-2.jpg
You can notice that the ad leaves the post content and probably get aligned to the center of whole website, not just post content.
On further checking, I noticed that the issue is caused by the following line:
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('td-theme');
When I delete this line from speed booster, the ads start displaying correctly. But then a new issue arises, the homepage gets broken like this: https://s11.postimg.org/6tk42duer/2017-04-13_14-14-13.jpg
So, either I can run these ads properly but then homepage gets broken or display homepage correctly, then ads gets misaligned.
I do want to use speed booster for optimisation purpose. So, please look into the issue and see if anything can be done.
Thank you.
Hi,
The Revolution slider is a very complex element, and could have an impact when placed on pages but should not be anything major. You can use these guides to configure the recommended cache, and also improve page loading speed and optimize your website

– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thanks
Hi,
I have inspected you website and it seems to load poorly indeed. From what I can tell the website is taking a lot of time loading the cache you are using – https://www.screencast.com/t/DxOwNzhYt7x and almost half a second for each image on the website. Adding those together results in the present situation.
Basically these are the theme requirements – https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
What you could try is use the recommended cache plugin with the settings specified here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
You can try a fresh theme install with the latest version using one of these methods
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Then install only the plugins provided in the theme package. Also take a look to the guide about improving page speed, provided above. Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks
