The NGINX vs Apache thing is a tad confusing with the latest web servers; for example I run Apache because I’ve been doing so for 20 years and know it’s tweaks; NGINX works a bit diffferent; and if I didn’t have a legacy 16 year old website to deal with we’d been running NGINX.

Funny thing, even with the new system, NGINX runs in front of Apache to serve http/2 for https, which we have not yet implemented. But the pages are served by Apache (for now).

Your server is likely running opcache/memcache with NGINX, which is good. It speeds up files requested over and over, as I stated. Local caching on your site is different, as it caches the stuff being queried for each page to speed things up since there is no lag time waiting for dbase to serve and render the page (technically with php/wordpress there are no actual “pages” on your site, they all are built dynamically).

So, you likely have a CentOS/Apache setup (as we do here), but NGINX being used for caching.

Generally, you should just tell your host you need your domain optimized for WORDPRESS, and they should be able to do the rest on the backend as far as caching, gzip/deflate, etc.

No support on weekends isn’t good for hosting provider; means they are a reseller and not a “true host” — they are reselling another company’s hosting, which is very common.

In any case, it’s a process — but some of the stuff is NOT theme specific, it’s WordPress specific, meaning the server side tweaks, and general optimization of time to live, caching, expiration headers, image compression, etc., are NOT specific to ANY theme.

So, good to make Google your friend and explore the many articles out there on “speeding up WordPress” — sites like WPBeginner, WPMU, etc.

Gzip/Deflate must be properly setup and enabled at the SERVER level; above the domains, above your website; not from htaccess, theme, or WordPress. Two different things. From my test it looks like it is partially setup, but some setting you have is not compressing javascript and css files, it would appear.

a) gzip/deflate must be ON and working; then the directives tell it what to do.

b) for mod_pagspeed — that won’t work unless your host is running mod_pagespeed — and if they don’t have gzip/deflate properly setup it’s highly doubtful that mod_pagespeed is running.

As noted in various places in my long long long thread; you need to go research what some of my things DO to see if they apply to your server setup, otherwise they won’t do anything.

So, again – YOU need to contact your HOST provider, and
a) have them properly setup gzip/deflate — as right now it’s not compressing ALL your content, only some if it, which is not normal.

Your page does show this:

Parameter Value
Gzip/Deflated enabled ? YES - The url is serving compressed content.
Compressed Size 41.45 KB
Original Size 327.66 KB
Savings 87.35 %
Response header
Content-Encoding: gzip

But as it clearly shows on GTmetrix; and you should provide this to your host –as I stated — to get them to fix, along with the vary accept encoding:

Enable compression for the following resources to reduce their transfer size by 401.2KiB (80% reduction).

Compressing https://tomatoheart.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/js/tagdiv_theme.js could save 391.9KiB (80% reduction).
Compressing https://tomatoheart.com/wp-content/plugins/ytsubscribe/ytSubscribe.js could save 4.0KiB (69% reduction).
Compressing https://tomatoheart.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-facebook-login/public/js/facebook-login.js could save 2.3KiB (66% reduction).
Compressing https://tomatoheart.com/wp-content/plugins/akismet/_inc/form.js could save 382B (54% reduction).

That is what is hurting your site speed/rating.

So, that’s about all the help I can provide there

In our setup, we have the server setup to serve gzip/deflate and vary accept encoding without having to add the <IfModule mod_deflate.c> section you have in your file.

Sorry not a better answer 🙂

Solution for 1
Once you done with the modifications on theme or website, clear cookies.

Solution for 2
To fix Author name issue just paste below code in the mobile theme’s custom code box:

.td-post-author-name div { display:inline; }

Solution for 3
You can use W3 Total cache; the problem arises only when you activate minify function in the plugin. (Issue: Images don’t load)
If you want to activate minify feature in W3 total cache plugin, use Auto minify and disable lazy load option from the theme panel. Instead use lazy load plugin.

Solution for 4
Don’t use jetpack sharing feature; theme has inbuilt sharing buttons which give an eye-catching look which improves sharing rate.

Solution for 5

now recheck if the plugin is active if its showing disabled and some other link then repeats above steps.

Hi Andrel,

Thank you for the detailed and valuable reply.

My website is hosted on a Google Cloud based Managed WordPress Hosting site and yes, they do have caching functionalities on their server. But isn’t it for good reasons rather than breaking some of the functionalities of my site? I mean caching are done for speed and optimizations of the site but it shouldn’t interfere with the UI of the site. Right?

With my understanding , caching serves few pre-saved static files and hence there can be delay in getting the fresh live version of the site. but in this case, I can easily see that even the latest published posts are immediately available on mobiles too. It doesn’t play with minifications, async/deferring JS files etc.

What I want to know is what should I ask my hosting providers to do. Should I tell them to remove caching or to moderate some specific caching functionalities?

As you know I have currently disabled the WP Super cache as well as cloudflare to get the immediate versions of my changes on my website. but do you think that by activating it again and deleting the cache few times can delete the caching done on server side too? I mean should I give it a try?

Please excuse if I am sounding foolish to these questions. I am just an experienced WordPress user but not developer or expert.

If at any point of time, you want to check the backend. I have already sent my login credentials on contact@tagdiv.com , please do look at things as I really want this mobile plugin version to work properly.

Thank you.

Hi

I’ve checked your site and noticed that you have a very strong cache which may affect page’s content. The cache may come from from your server so try to contact you host provider and ask him if there is an cache on the server. The cache it’s very tricky, even if you deactivated the cache plugin some pages may still be delivered from cache. Try to enable WP Super Cache again and delete the cache a few times then test the site again. Note that WP Super cache is not fully compatible with V 4.6 of wordpress but you can use the fix from this topic as a temporary solution: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/mobile-theme-does-not-work-properly/

There is a big difference between mobile theme and the responsive theme. Basically the mobile theme load a simpler version of the page, fewer resources are requested and the page load faster. There is no support for shortcodes in mobile theme and when the server prepare the html it’s skipped a lot of php code from Visual Composer, the queries made to the database are fewer and the response time is smaller. Also page size is smaller on mobile when mobile theme plugin is active.
However the difference may be negligible if the site is not properly optimized. Our theme was developed to be fast but to hit a good score may be needed additional customization.

Check this topic for more details in page speed regard: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/website-memory-problem/ The thread is from Newsmag theme but the same applies for Newspaper.

For more details about mobile theme and how it work check this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ Basically the mobile theme works like this:
– on homepage displays three posts from featured category fallowed by latest article list.
– on other pages displays only the content from mobile editor.

When mobile theme is deactivated you will have the same content displayed on any device, there is no need and additional setup for the page.

I hope this helps.
Thanks!
Andrei L tagDiv!

Hi

The theme has been developed to be fast but it may still need configurations on this matters so test your site using google’s page speed insights testing tool(or gtmetrix) and make sure you follow the guide instructions and methods then test your site again.

I’ve tested your site using google page speed and noticed that your server response time is very slow. According to google report it takes more then 5 seconds until the server deliver the requested data: http://screencast.com/t/taHVTK3OB Make sure that the server meets theme’s requirements: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/ and also check if the parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/

Also try deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test your site page-speed again. In terms of speed we have made a page speed guide and covered the most important aspects that google notifies you of (image optimization, js/css render blocking and more..) and based on which it classifies and grades your site regarding speed. You can find it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

If you decide to use the speed booster keep in mind that is an optional plugin and it was designed to work only with tested plugins – http://screencast.com/t/FXXDNtqfz in case you use other plugins it will be automatically disabled, so please check System Status – http://screencast.com/t/9SmVSXqe To make it work with other plugins you will have to alter the code and remove/comment this – http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh Also you may find some useful information here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/website-memory-problem/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-booster-and-akismet/

Thanks!

Hello Team,

I noticed the same thing…

Using the instagram plugin on the page, my website is a bit slower, and the pagespeed passes from 81 to 73 !

My website url is http://www.regardnomade.com/

Is there any way to correct that?

Thanks for your help.

Vincent.

a) note the tagdiv business hours, top right of forum.

b) Might just be your home page layout,
this page shows as mobile friendly

http://top10reviewz.in/prize-money-gifts-p-v-sindhu/

However you need to pay attention to the errors presented:
* This page uses 2 resources which are blocked by robots.txt.
* A temporary error occurred. 2 resources on this page could not be loaded. The results and screenshot may be incorrect. You may want to try again later.
https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/…mMhp4i.css
https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/…dQgHfSn.js

c) generally to make your site ‘mobile friendly’ you need to ALSO optimized your server for speed and proper server setup, compression, time to live, etc., optimize images, etc.

For example, I tested your page here:
https://gtmetrix.com/reports/top10reviewz.in/2UlrZtmY

Page Load Time
15.9s

Total Page Size
4.05MB

Requests
212

————-
For optimum page, you should serve less than 50 requests, page size should be under 1MB, 2MB for a photo site perhaps with a lot of uncompressed images, and page load should be as close to 1 second as possible, and not more than 4 seconds.

You have a lot of work to do to optimize your website.

Good luck!

Should it require any plugin license ?? i have not exposed my website to the internet . I am doing it locally
