Hi guys,
I really love the Newspaper theme. I bought it long time ago but I have finished creating a website now.
My website is: http://www.psiowelove.pl
I have done to step 4 in from this instruction: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
But my website seems to be still slow.
The consultant from my hosting told me that I have problem with jetpack because it causes this:
access(”/home/tutusik/domains/psiowelove.pl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/_inc/genericons/genericons/genericons.min.css”, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) lstat(”/home/tutusik/domains/psiowelove.pl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/_inc/social-logos.php”, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=555, …}) = 0 lstat(”/home/tutusik/domains/psiowelove.pl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/_inc”, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, …}) = 0 lstat(”/home/tutusik/domains/psiowelove.pl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack”, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, …}) = 0 lstat(”/home/tutusik/domains/psiowelove.pl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/_inc/social-logos.php”, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=555, …}) = 0 lstat(”/home/tutusik/domains/psiowelove.pl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/_inc”, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, …}) = 0 lstat(”/home/tutusik/domains/psiowelove.pl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack”, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, …}) = 0 open(”/home/tutusik/domains/psiowelove.pl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/_inc/social-logos.php”, O_RDONLY) = 4
I have also check with google pagespeed and there are few errors:

Hello aliqayyum,
1)Please try to clear all your caches, purge CDN files if you are using the CDN system, empty your server cache (if you do not have any access to do it, please request this to your hosting provider) and then test it again and check the results.
2)Try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
The code is ->
.td-g-rec-id-content_top{
float: left;
margin-right: 15px;
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/Q4olOZWxYyN

Hi there,
I am testing out this theme for my website, http://www.disabledveterans.org. The site itself is just a blog for me. Nothing fancy. I host using WP Engine and have the DNS routed through Cloudflare using the free version. It presently loads under 1 second most of the time.
What are the top load times you have seen with this theme? I tried testing some of the showcase sites using Newspaper on Pingdom but the speeds were generally not below 2 seconds.
Hi there,
Loving our new website using Newspaper 6 (haven’t upgraded yet).
Our site is quite slow, partly due to the shared server, but also wondering if for a feee you provide a service where you configure the site, with the Speed Booster plugin etc (does that work OK with vs 6) ….
If you do – how much?
Look forward to hearing back.
Thanks, Neal
Hello Bintmusic,
I have tested your website with Google Page Speed and it loads the score is very good, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/xm1yhyEcmmKm

Thanks for the message!
Hello jad,
Unfortunately, the only tutorial regarding on speed optimization is this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ Please keep in mind that the speed optimization is not related by our theme but only depends on how well your website is optimized. For more custom modifications in this regard, please consult the Chris topic from the Best of Forums, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/ and there you should find other ways to improve your website speed pages.
Thanks for your understanding!

Hi,
I’ve installed Newsletter template and minimize all options on theme, plugins and more
to get a website faster and a good score on Pagespeed,
but it is not good.
65/100 on mobile speed – 98/100 user experience
80/100 on desktop
I have a cloud server dedicated very very fast.
If you can chat or talk on Skype, I can send you my admin username and password on WordPress so you can check it and other plugins.
Waiting your reply.
Hello there,
I’ve been having some difficulties with the mobile version after the update, I’ve searched and tried many suggestions but no luck.
I have
Wordpress: 4.6.1
Newspaper 7.4 [installed via envato toolkit]
Visual comp: 4.12.1 [manual install]
Social counter: 4.1 [manual install]
Slide rev: 5.2.5.1 [manual install]
Speed booster: 4.5 [activated, however, in theme panel system status it say’s it’s deactivated due to a number of other plugins]
Currently my website is in the default mobile version. When I install the latest mobile plugin the site is unusable and you can only see the following error message.
wp booster error:
td_api_base::mark_used_on_page : a
component with the ID: td_remote_cache is not
set.
wp booster error:
Missing parameter: ‘file’
Fatal error : Class ‘td_remote_cache’ not found
in /home/theindianfeed303/public_html/wp-
content/plugins/td-social-counter/
td_social_api.php on line 48
If I deactivate and delete the booster plugin, but leave the mobile plugin installed, I still have the same error message.
If I install the booster but delete the mobile plugin, then the mobile website works by default style.
So, this lets me know it’s the mobile plugin.
From the forums I found a similar problem and the temporary solution was to install mobile plugin v1. When I use install this plugin, my website shows the mobile version! however, it will not load any menus on the drop down. So I have removed all and gone for default but now I can’t change the colours etc.
Any suggestions welcome
Hi,
Well it does slow down the site that’s for sure but this depends on how may elements you use. Everything you add extra every plugin every block every animation every image slows down the site a tiny bit. All together if there are many complex elements will result in slow loading sites. Not using visual composer will result in a faster website but you will be better off optimizing your site rather than not using the theme blocks and grids. You will get better speeds just by optimizing your site rather than just removing VC. Try to optimize your webste using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Test your site with google page speed and gtmetrix beforehand, and then test after the optimization. After you increased your speed try to simply disable visual composer and then test again to see how much the speed increases and if it;s worth it.
Thank you!
And by the Andrei,
You missed one very important point, you checked the homepage but usually, Google or real people visit individual homepage quite often. And on the individual posts, the same .js and .css file ( One Akismet .js files and other 5 css file 2 from Google API and 3 from a tomatoheart plugin VC and style.CSS .
Have a look at the Google Pagespeed Insight for one of the post : http://tomatoheart.com/webjockey/facts-about-bb-ki-vines-bhuvan-bam/ at https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=tomatoheart.com%2Fwebjockey%2Ffacts-about-bb-ki-vines-bhuvan-bam%2F&tab=desktop
Here, mobile and desktop score is almost same: 66/68 ( Snapshot here: https://i.snag.gy/GEvA1z.jpg )
Render blocking Codes from Desktop are:
Remove render-blocking JavaScript:
http://domain.com/wp-content/plugins/akismet/_inc/form.js
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:
http://domain.com/…in/public/css/facebook-login.css?ver=7.3
http://fonts.googleapis.com/…0,700|Amiri:400,700|Lora:400,700&ver=7.3
http://fonts.googleapis.com/…italic,700,900,500italic,400,300&ver=7.3
http:/domain.com/…r/assets/css/js_composer.min.css?ver=7.3
http://domain.com/…ntent/themes/Newspaper/style.css?ver=7.3
You can check it for any posts of my website and you will find the same thing. SO, the issue is not only with Mobile version.
You may want to look at it again.
Hello berchman,
I have checked your website and I saw that you are using the Speed Booster. I suppose that you are referring to the appearance of a flash when you enter on your website…firstly is loaded a style and then will appear another style, right? This behaviour appears when you have additional customization through custom CSS code. 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.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Hey Chris and nairolf,
It was midnight here and I slept so, couldn’t reply to both of you. Sorry 🙁
I am thankful to nairolf for putting efforts in trying to help me and give me the right direction. I was finally able to make speedbooster working by his help yesterday ( and also disabled one 301-redirection plugin by adding few codes in functions.php because of his motivation to use fewer plugins 🙂 )
Chris is my old fav and his detailed ( and many times witty! 🙂 ) tutorial has helped me a lot to optimize my website in the past.
Anyways, on this point,
I am not sure which codes under Chris’s codes are effecting the Query strings and should I try to change “10 to “101 or max” under this code:
function remove_cssjs_ver( $src ) {
if( strpos( $src, '?ver=' ) )
$src = remove_query_arg( 'ver', $src );
return $src;
}
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );
or any other?
I also tried to add one code suggested by KEYCDN here: https://www.keycdn.com/support/remove-query-strings-from-static-resources/ Code is:
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 );
It didn’t work either .. perhaps for the same reason why Chri’s code didn’t work. May be I should try changing the number 15 to 200 or something?
For nairolf’s suspicion , I checked all other related plugins to see if any function is forcing the query strings behavior that we set in functions.php but couldn’t find anything. I am using itheme security plugin and here I have checked an option which says ” Replace jQuery version with safe version” ( see here: https://i.snag.gy/4SKTg3.jpg ) Previously my Jquery version was 1.12.4 or something but now it’s showing 1.11.1 . Just informing you if it’s the reason behind something.
Other thing I noticed under Yoast SEO, where I have checked “Remove the ?replytocom variables. ” option. Though it serves a different purpose but somehow related to these query thing.
Nairolf said somewhere above that “at least on Newspaper 7.4, is impossible to remove the query string with conventional functions for all resources.”
Then how did you finally removed these strings Nairolf or you didn’t ?
Can’t we move these CSS even with these query strings? And more immportantly, one very important point which you both missed from my previous comment that, after doing required modifications to speedbooster.php, I can actually see that Style.css, fonts and facbook login CSS etc have moved to footer ( Checked “View Source” page of my post on Google chrome) and when I removed JS modifications from speedbooster.php, I saw it coming up on the “view source code”
If sppedbooster were not working with these CSS files, why it would have moved these files from top to footer. The main question is “why it still appears on Google Pagespeed score? ”
Or perhaps it is appearing GPS because GPS is suggesting to remove these query strings and not raising any flag over whether it has been moved to footer or not?
PS: I can understand that tt can be really big tough to deal with a non-progrmmer like me but let me assure you that I do things carefully and I can be instructed very well 🙂
Thank you.
Hey guys
I love how the Instagram widget looks on my website but unfortunately it’s affecting page load times.
http://www.allhorrorfilms.com/
Check it out.
Is there any way around this? I need to speed things up. Also what hosting is recommending for speed? I use HostGator and they blow.
Hi, I have +70 plugins in my websites and each of the plugins have it’s own CSS file. So, I am combining them into one sigle CSS file, so that I can speed up my website.
The point is that when I combine all my CSS into one single file, the Smart Sidebar stops working. It shows, but it doesn’t move anymore.
So, which is the CSS file of the Smart Sidebar? (this way I will no combine this file)
See the theme docs under ‘speeding up website” as good start.

Hey, guys whenever I enable speed booster than my AdSense ads get widened and crosses sidebars. It happens only when I enable Speedbooster Plugin.
Here are the images:-
Please tell me the solution to solve my issue.
I tried re-installing the adsense plugin also but nothing happened.
Currently i disabled speedbooster as it affecting my traffic but my website become pretty slow.
Please help me guys.
Hello all,
I personally think the Newspaper theme is the best theme out there for publishers. It is fully loaded with features and is highly customizable.
The loading speed of a website can make or break the success of a site. You can have awesome content and a similar site can have mediocre content, but if your pages load extremely slowly and your competition’s pages load extremely fast, your competition is more likely to get the traffic and not you. Google likes fast pages.
Fortunately, there are some ideas to score 100/100 PageSpeed.
Use –
WP Super Cache plugin
CloudFlare – use rocket loader
.htaccess code

I was wondering if you have any suggestions to improve my website (American Betting Site): http://americanbettingsite.com
Here is my PageSpeed Insights: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Famericanbettingsite.com&tab=desktop
I am currently running the Speed Booster plugin that comes with the theme. I do not have the mobile theme enabled.
Thanks.
