hi,
1. I have some problems with your td-speed-booster plugin version 4.5 does not work with plugins Cache Enabler and WP CDN Rewrite. Creating gaps post to google and GoogleNews.
I also tried Wp Super Cache, but caused a website blocking.
I want to bring in the footer deguenti file:
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans%3A300%2C400%2C600%2C700&ver=4.7.2
https://static.site.com/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/css/js_composer.min.css
https://static.site.com/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/style.css
https://static.site.com/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/js/tagdiv_theme.js
With your plugin could do it, I would need a code to be entered in the file function.php
otherwise you will have another solution with another plugin ??
2. Then another question, I can minimize the following files, on the advice of google speed, or cause errors:
/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/style.css
/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/js/tagdiv_theme.js
I look forward to new about and do not tell me I need a technician, otherwise return thema and I turn to others and make you a bad publicity.
Hello Gaurav,
These are two different things and it is not needed to be used altogether. The WP Super Cache is needed to be used because gives a more page speed at your website. Also, if the CDN will be used, you will increase the page speed of your website.
Thanks for your understanding!

I took a look…
My initial thoughts… Damn! That is a big website! and I really don’t want to f it up… It’s a very good looking site and interesting too…
It appears what is slowing down your site the most is the images. About 30% of the page/post sizes is the logo which is 500kb… appearing on all your posts and pages.
After running your website at google pagespeed insights you will see a link for optimized resources for your site at the bottom. I downloaded them and the optimized logo from Google is only 10 kb. And the logo looks to be the same quality and clarity as the large size one on the site.
As you likely know bigger pages equals longer load times.
For the rest of your images, it would be good to optimize them using an image optimizer plugin such as ewww image optimizer. After that you would need to regenerate the thumbnails using regenerate thumbnails plugin for the images to display correctly. I am a bit wary in this advice though as you have many images and it will take very long.
At gtmetrix.com the site scores very low for “remove query strings from static resources”
The code I am using on my site to score 100 for this adding the code below to functions.php
function _remove_script_version( $src ){
$parts = explode( ‘?ver’, $src );
return $parts[0];
}
add_filter( ‘script_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
add_filter( ‘style_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
Your site generates a lot of requests to load… (109)
I think many of those requests are due to your site calling youtube for the thumbnails used on the videos. You should look to have the thumbnails on your website for the videos, then your site won’t have to wait for youtube to send them. I am using ARVE plugin on my site to do this, BJ Lazy Load also does this but ARVE looks better.
I highly reccommend you get a second opinion on my suggestions incase something goes wrong. How long does it take to backup such a big site?
Hope it goes well… That sandbox sounds good… If all else fail give autoptimize plugin a shot. Be advised when it works it does wonders, when it doesn’t it can cause a lot of headaches.
Good luck 🙂
Hi, I’m trying to move css and js from header to footer in the mobile version of Newspaper (I’m actually using the plugin tagDiv Mobile Theme) using the method here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
I have also tried to put the code inside the function.php of mobile theme but when i go to load the website in mobile version i don’t find the css and js file IDs that i need for move them. I don’t even know if i can move the css and js of mobile version with the speed booster plugin.
Here is the test of Google Page Speed where you can see the files i’m talking about: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?hl=it&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgamesquare.it%2Frecensione-steep%2F&tab=mobile
Can you help me? Thanks in advance

Hi
You guys recommend wp super cache, however it makes my website very slow. According to google speed insights, its slowed down my site almost twice as much.

Hello Rudy,
I suppose that you are referring to the appearance of a flash/time loading when you enter on your website, regarding on your loading menu bar, right? Firstly is loaded a default font and then will appear your custom font, right? This behavior appears when you have additional customization through custom CSS code and also, 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.

Hi Bogdan,
I’m scratching my head a little now with Speed Booster.
I understand that I have additional Plug Ins and what I need to do to add these to the compatibility list (as explained here https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ )
However, when I look at the code in the Plug In I see this…
if ($this->is_ie === false) {
// move style.css theme style
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘js_composer_front’);
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘td-theme’); //this is the main style of the theme. It’s only moved on Newspaper 6!
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘td-theme-woo’); //this is the main style of the theme. It’s only moved on Newspaper 6!
}
So what about NewsPaper 7?
I’m really confused!
The only plug ins I am using are;
Ninja Forms
Word fence
Toast
The website is http://www.expectationsholidays.co.uk
Any ideas?
Thanks 🙂

Hi,
I compressed all of my images with EWWW + WP Smush + TinyPNG and more. Then I downloaded them to my computer and compressed with programs like Photoshop and auto compressors. Now all image qualitys are like %60 of JPG. You can count pixels on the images but even that on Google Pagespeed I get 50/100 and Google want’s me to compress them more or resize them.
I think it’s themes problem because it calls large images on front page but i am not sure.
My website: webellek.com
Thanks in advance.
You can also move to php 7 from newspaper 7.6 as we implemented support for it but only version 7.0.
7.1 still has some issues but it should provide a bigger impact than 5.4 to 5.6. 🙂
As for the “bloated” theme, each user bloats his website as much as he wants. If you use lots of different blocks and lots of complex elements with ajax pagination and ajax filters and sliders etc. then you should expect a dramatic page speed decrease as all of them come with a speed price.
Thank you!

Hello Agiro,
I have checked your website and I notice that you have not optimized your site properly. For example, I saw that you are using large images as capacity and that’s why you receive bad reports in your page speed loading, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/oItnwP6U2 Please try to read our documentation regarding on How to make your website faster, understand each step from there and then, trying to apply the steps from there, because I do not give in vain the above tutorial. After some tests with Pingdom tool you can see these results, like this ->

Hello guys,
I actually don’t have any serious problem that I want to resolve so this is some kind of advice request.
I have installed cache plugin and I have set everything like you explained in documentation. I optimize every single image before upload and I don’t have much heavy plugins installed. However, I am not happy with the current site speed and results from analytics websites. On each one, I get warning that I should Leverage browser caching.
Any advices?
Speed booster plugin?
Install it or not? I know that it might cause problems with other plugins but is it really worth to install it?
Link of my website: http://www.brckodanas.com
Hello,
We’re running a large website with this theme. We are also using the same theme for many other sites, with no issues. We’re very pleased. (great work btw)
On the large site, with over 70,000 articles, the menu search bar function is very, very slow. A one word query takes as much as 55 seconds (yes, almost a minute) to return the search results page.
Alternatively, adding a search string to url (ex. https://www.caymancompass.com/?s=superintendent) does the same in 5 seconds.
How can we change this search functionality to simply go to the page, instead of calling a script to suggest results? Or, is there a trick to speed this up? (by a factor of 10x)
Is there a way to turn off the ‘autocomplete’, or whatever else would be slowing down the search?
Please advise. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Please help me find a way to fix this problem (see image) I have been trying to fix it for weeks.
I have tried installing plugins such as “Remove query strings from static resources” and “remove query strings” I have also installed pieces of code here and there I found online and no luck.
My site is connected to cloudflare so after I make any changed I am always sure to purge the cache there to see the current version of the site.
I have an admin account I can send someone to log in and fix this for me, I can even kick you a few bucks via paypal so you can go out and have some drinks on me.
The website is http://www.alexpoucher.com – you can see the F grade in the Pingdom Sitespeed Test here (Remove query strings from static resources RESULT) https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/KHaIG/alexpoucher.com
