That is just a simple hit counter and only counts main times the page was ‘loaded.’
You should always use something like the stats included with your hosting panel to see “actual traffic” to your site.
And as I stated, Google is changing how they show sites in search results.
So, good time to
a) check your pagespeed score with Google PageSpeed Insights
b) make sure your content is mobile friendly
c) consider using https vs http; your host should be able to give you free open source SSL/https cert
d) check your Google Search Console for messages about any issues/problems with your site
e) if using AMP, note the page counter does not count AMP views of pages
Not sure that helps; but all our sites traffic went down since the election in U.S., regardless of theme.
Theme doesn’t control inbound traffic to your website.

Hi Bogdan – thanks for the reply.
The URL of the website is http://www.vpnratings.com and the header is the image that you see immediately under the main menu with a blue background. It’s currently listed as approx 2,000 pixels wide which is obviously currently impacting on site speed.
Thanks again,
Simon
Hello awesome people,
Approx. 15 days before, we have shifted to more powerful Digital Ocean Server ( Via Cloudways) and have experienced two times more traffic than before due to increased website speed and performance.
However, for last one week or so, I am noticed weird homepage loading on Mobile devices. It first appears broken and then completely loads after the considerably higher amount of time.
Here is how it looks initially: https://i.imgur.com/vBuQN7f.jpg
As you can see, the problem appears to be with mobile style.css and font loading. I use speed booster plugin and wp super cache, nothing else for speed. I have tried removing – the footer moving script code from speed booster which loads fonts and CSS in the footer. But it didn’t help.
After fully loading in 5-6 seconds, it appears fully like this- https://i.imgur.com/vF5lHUe.jpg
I do want to remind you that I also use “TD Mobile theme” plugin but it doesn’t work on the homepage ( it still shows the mobile version of desktop theme even on mobile devices, but only on the homepage), other pages, posts displays mobile theme plugin version.
I have also sent you the login credentials to help you look at the matter.
Thank you very much.
Hello tribonet,
Please try to make a new clean install from scratch on the new sub-domain with the latest version from Theme Forest. You should do this only via FTP way because this is the surest and safe method in this regard. Notice that the Visual Composer is fully compatible with the theme and until now we have not encountered any problems in this regard. For more information about how you can install the VC, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/
I have inspected your website on Google Insights and I noticed that you have not optimized it properly.

YESTERDAY I INSTALL THE NEWSPAPTER THEME,
BUT THE WEBSITE SPEED IS VERY LATE
IT’S THE REASON ABOUT THE NEWSPAPER PLUG IN OR SOMETHING?
COULD YOU HELP ME?
MY WEBSITE:http://mini85.com/
THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER
I desperately need help. Website: esportsgamer.sk
Yesterday my site received a bigger amount of visitors and afterwards I wasn’t able to share anything on Facebook. Website seems to be working just fine, but Facebook keeps showing me this error:
I tried to optimize all I could, my GTmetrix score is way above average I think: 
I also tried to increase PHP memory to MAX value 256M, yet still nothing. Any idea what to do with it?
I have one more question. In waterfall I can see that loading time could be almost halved, if this 404 error was not a thing. I deleted NEWSPAPER logo, and I don’t have any logo on my website in footer.
I would appreciate any kind of help,
Andrej Kováč
Hello Friends,
On one of my site, I am getting some scripts like Pippio, LinkSynergy, ricdn, etc. when I test my site on Google Pagespeed, GTMatrix or Pingdom Tools. Have a look here: https://i.imgur.com/hozgLDk.jpg
With a quick google search, it appears that these are malware but then these are supposed to be on the computer, not on my WordPress site. Right? Then why is it showing there under test results?
When I manually check the presence of any such filename using View source on Google Chrome, I find nothing. I also cleaned my computer with Malwarebytes software, but nothing helps.
What are these? Are these on my computer or my website? What can I do now? Have you experienced something similar? Please help.
Thank you.
Hey bintmusic
How you did this? Have you done it through Speedbooster plugin ? Can you also help the other community member to do the same on their websites?
Thank you.
In my recent Speed testing of my website on Pingdom tools, I noticed that Google API’s jquery.min.js is taking almost 29 sec. to load and making my website very slow. Though On my repeat check, It didn’t show up . Have a look at this screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/hlgOdPf.jpg
What is this and how can I make it load fast. Kindly help. Thank you.
PS: Not actually related to TagDiv theme I hope, but fellow community member can help me with this. Thank you/

Hello andreaspom,
Please keep in mind that the Wp Super cache is fully tested with the theme and until now, seems to work as properly with our theme. Please ensure that you have disabled all the untested plugins from your side because all of these may interact with the theme and this plugin and cause a lot of unknown issues. If the problem persists, you should try to make a new clean install from scratch, only with tested plugins, clear all the caches and check the results. Also, you can check this online topic here -> https://wordpress.org/support/topic/timestamps-differ-or-were-not-found-3/ maybe will help you.

Hello Chloe,
Unfortunately you still have quite a bit of adjustments to make until you ‘go live’. Please use this guide and make the proper page speed adjustments: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
The ‘cascading’ css can be seen as this is the way css works by rewriting itself. If the site is adjusted for better loading speeds, this effect will not be so visible anymore.
There are multiple threads on our forum regarding page speed optimization. You can try to do a search through the forum but be advised as it gets very technical. Unfortunately running a website always is.
Thank you!
Uninstall w3, install wp super cache, install tagdiv speed booster 🙂 you can get fast load times.
Btw, there are many factors involving website speed and GTmetrix isnt GOD. Example If your page size its 2MB, and you are conected wifi over 10mb ADSL conection you can reach a máximum of 700kb/s . 2MB = 2048kb , 2048kb/700kb= 2.92. 🙂 and you need another 1 or 3 seconds to render the page = 5 to 6 seconds to preview the page content.
My website (https://goo.gl/KDTa52) is alone on VPS and deployed on LEMP. I have used fastcgi for page cache and browser cache.
And for other cache type, I used W3 Total Cache plugin.
Page Cache – Disk Enhanced
Minify – None
Database Cache – Memcache
Object Cache – Memcache
Browser Cache – Disabled
CDN: AWS Cloudfront
Even after all this optimization site load time is more than 5 sec (gtmetrix). What else shall I do to improve site speed?
Apologies if this was asked again. I browsed through the forum and did not find anything relevant.
My website automatically scrolls to the top, when someone clicks on any of the arrows that load more articles, at any part of the website. I am not sure when this started, but I assumed this is a javascript related error, firebug (or the chrome developer console) however does not show any error. The only javascript notice I get when examining with chrome’s console is
My caching plugin is wp-rocket while I also use cloudflare. I have disabled javascript minimization on both with no luck. Also note that tag div speed booster is not enabled.
If you need a link to replicate the error, or something was not clear enough, please let me know.
Thanks,
Andreas
Hi,
Please check below this is what google speed test tells about the loading of website. Please give a solution to the issue. I have minimal elements on the site but still this is the result. And by the way i am using W3total cache plugin as my host doesn’t recommend Super Cache plugin which you recommend and i have total 6 plugins installed including “WPBakery Visual Composer”.
Your page has 6 blocking script resources and 6 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.
Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

Hi,
You guys have been a great resource in helping me fix up and troubleshoot a website that uses Newspaper that I’m currently managing: http://www.mjr.jour.umt.edu. Thanks for that!
Everything seems to be running smoothly EXCEPT the site speed. If you go to the site and try to navigate around it works, but it’s really slow. The back end is slow too. Moving between things like the plugins, posts, and pages tabs takes about 10-20 seconds to work and sometimes the whole thing just crashes and gives me a 404 message. Same with the front end.
I’ve used a few site performance tests like Pingdom and GT Metrix and it seems that something called “leverage browser caching” or the theme itself could be slowing things down. To be honest I’m not able to make much sense of the results from these tests, let alone know what to do to fix the problematic areas.
I know that’s a little vague, but are there any suggestions you have as to how to speed things up? Too many plugins? A bad plugin? A broken part of the theme?
Thanks!
Hello aliqayyum,
Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. Clear all your caches, remove server caches (if you do not have any access to do it, request this task to the service provider).
For your second request, please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized. Please notice that this 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.

hey guys,
My website does not seem to get passed 60/100 on google PageSpeed for desktop and 50/100 for mobile. What can I do to speed this up?
I love Mobile theme. It’s really fast. But here is the issue.
Apart from general daily use, sometimes I need to create a new page or post which needs visual composer functions.
Is there any way to disable or exclude “mobile theme plugins” for certain pages or posts ? Can’t we write some code which will make “mobile theme plugin” ineffective for certain pages or posts?
I know you might tell me to disable the mobile theme , but please try to understand that it is not a solution. Mobile theme makes websites really super fast but for certain pages, visual richness is more important than speed.
TagDiv is a strong team and all your themes are going to be used by us for long long time so. it’s really important to find solutions to these issues. If not now and then at least in the future updates.
Please give me some hope.
