Thank you Ing Geek, that totally makes sense. Analytic and Adsense seem to be very picky about js, no wonder, it’s how they control what they pay. I stopped using the speed options in cloudflare after a day or so of experimenting with them and afterwards, I only minify html in cache plugin. Those would brake up some functionality but I always assumed it was because I’m a lazy coder and my site is all patched up. I guess a simple static website with very good code can benefit from cloudflare features, specially rocket loader.

Today I’m seeing no mixed content so I guess you fixed it 🙂 visited several articles and no content blocked and padlock was always green, I saw no problems like yesterday.
Moving to https is usually a good thing. It can lower your traffic acquisition from search engines if not done carefully though. Since http and https use different server ports (most), both versions of a website, if they exist, are considered individual websites. Since the content is the same, search engines will label one as a duplicate. Search engines don’t like duplicate shit. When there’s http and https versions of the same site, webmasters should take measures to inform search engine which version to crawl and index and which to ignore (robots.txt, rel canonical, htaccess)
You only have https version so you don’t have to deal with that. What you might consider is the “juice”. Before you went https, did you had any particular page/article that ranked well in search engines? Or did any “respectable” website linked to yours? If yes, then you are losing that SEO juice because those rankings and those links point to something that doesn’t exist anymore. If no, which probably is the case because you’re online since only 10/2015, then don’t bother.
Cheers!
Hello
So in this case, do you recommend to me using cloudfare to minify instead the way you said before with GTmetrix? Does it have any risk to replace files which need to be solved?
I have a 95 % score in PageSpeed GTmetrix and 87 % YSlow, but when I check my website in google pagespeed insight, the score is lower, and I don´t know exactly if I should solve these issues.
Thanks
Hello willyw2k,
Please notice that you have to make a website run faster you will need to have at least basic knowledge not necessarily ‘tech savvy’.
You will need to follow this tutorial on page speed:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ Gzip compression needs to be active and also read about how you can compress the images. I suggest to getting someone to help you if you cannot manage.
Also please make sure that Speed Booster is active, check System Status for this – http://screencast.com/t/LDPniI0Qpv The plugin is tested only with these plugins – http://screencast.com/t/hcjLnOqh4i2 and if you have others active it will be automatically disabled.
In order to use the TagDiv speed booster with all plugins, you will need to remove this code – http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
I’m using W3TC and Cloudflare with Flexible SSL enabled. I’ve disabled minification on Cloudflare and am using W3TC to reduce the number of requests. I do basic minification of CSS and html, but not JS since minifying JS breaks images on my front page. I also combine all CSS into a single file and JS into a single file to reduce the number of requests to my server, which also has the benefit of removing query strings so I can be sure all my CSS, JS, and HTML is being cached correctly by any caching proxies between me and my readers. Minifying html also improves pagespeed slightly since Cloudflare doesn’t cache or optimize HTML.
This also has the added benefit of not having to do a manual process every time I update my Newspaper theme.
Obviously, I’ve also disabled Cloudflare in the W3TC plugin so it doesn’t know I’m using Cloudflare. This means if I do feel the need to clear my Cloudflare cache for some reason, I have to do it manually from the Cloudflare website.

Hello
I have some doubts about optimize images. First of all, I have pictures which a high resolution and the first thing I always do is to change the resolution to 696, which is the max width I need for my purpose. Then I use some online compressor like compressor.io to reduce the file size, it reduces approximately 50 % which is great, they remain 50 kb on average.
I have read your tutorial about “how to make your site faster” but I don´t know if I have to do something else, and if I can compress much more with WP Smush.
I have checked my website in pagespeed insight and it says that I have to optimize images, specifically some thumbnails.
Thanks

Hello,
Unfortunately we are not aware of any modifications made to the demo but on a second analysis with page speed I can no longer see the error in our demo or your website for that matter: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bintmusic.it%2Fbenessere-notizie%2Fmangiare-sano-fuori-casa-nei-fast-food%2F&tab=desktop
Maybe it’s google who changed a few things.
Thank you!
Hello,
I have a big problem. I created a website for a client.
Everything worked fine but now and then, the Themepanel Options are getting resetted.
Also, the Import & Export function is not working. It always says “Import successful” but it doesn’t get saved!
Is this problem known? Why did you guys use a serializing system. Saving the data in the database in a normal and common form, would avoid such problems and potentially could even speed-up the theme in some places.
Cheers,
Dom
my website is very very slow
i wanna make it speed , alot of plug-in is very important
i was had a errors and after i resolve it make my website like Tortoise
please i want help , my website is back in google
thanks
Hello,
1) Unfortunately the plugin is not tested to work with our theme so we cannot assure it’s functionality. Not all plugins work with our theme but this is the case for all premium themes as they are custom made and plugin sometimes cannot recognize the code or conflict with it. Unfortunately we cannot offer support for plugin implementation.
2)Post style 4 does not show the caption of the featured image by default. It does show the caption for other images except the featured one. This is the default behavior of the theme.
The post style number does not match from newsmag to newspaper. This happens when switching to another theme. There is an alternative if you do not wish to change the post template manually that involves editing the database and resenting all posts to the default template and then you can simply add the template you want for all your posts from the theme panel/ Please follow this topic to see how it can be done: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/change-style-of-multiple-posts-at-once/
3)Mega-menus were not meant to display in the mobile version of the website.
4) Unfortunately the ‘go to top’ options was hidden on the mobile version. You can activate it with custom css if you want:
.td-scroll-up-visible {
display: block!important;
}
5)The speedbooster plugin has a function that checks for active plugins. There is a list of plugins speedbooster is compatible with – http://screencast.com/t/hcjLnOqh4i2 so if you have other plugins active it will be automatically disabled.
In order to use the tagdiv speedbooster with all plugins you will need to remove this code – http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh
I hope this helps

Hello,
I run Newspaper v6.5 on my website. The domain name is http://www.naukrinama.com
I want to do the following :
a. I have feeds from my Hindi site : http://www.naukrinama.com/hi/feed which I want to show at the bottom of my post detail page (below the comment section) in the form of design like the Related Articles Block. Is there any block on the theme which parses an RSS feed and displays the data there ? and also how can that block be placed below the comments section. And if not comments section how can it be added as a widget in the righthand sidebar.
b. I have a menu option named “Hot Vacancies”. I want to Highlight it using Red color background and make it blink. How can it be achieved ?
c. I have two option of Language selection in the top “English” and “Hindi”. In the top bar menu i want to blink the “Hindi” menu item with a suitable color and background and make the color and selection background of “English” more prominent.
d. The published date, creation date of the post is coming wrong. It is showing timezone as +00:00. I have already set the timezone in the wordpress settings as UTC+5:30 and while creating a post the time in the backend is shown correctly but in the front end it is coming wrong. How can this be corrected ?
<div class=”td-post-date”><time itemprop=”dateCreated” class=”entry-date updated td-module-date” datetime=”2016-01-06T18:30:38+00:00″ >January 6, 2016</time>
e. I tried removing the “Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content” errors in the Google Page Speed test using the steps given in the tutorial. But even after following the necessary steps none of these errors got removed. What can be done to remove these errors.
Please answer the above queries and let me know how can these be resolved.
Hello,
Unfortunately there is no optimal image size as multiple modules and blocks use different sizes and different aspect ratios. Basically you will need to check the thumbnail list in the theme panel and see what containers you will use on your website. Then you can decide the image size you want to upload as it will have to be bigger than the thumbnail. There is no ideal size, but for best graphic results you could use a full hd image (1920x1080px), make sure you compress it, you don’t want a large file, it will slow page loading speed.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
I tried to do somethings on the https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
link to increase page speed but I kept having issues. Now I’ve returned all my setting to normal but Googlebot still continues to tell me a lot of my resources are temporarily unavailable. The resources include images, style sheets and scripts. This happens when I fetch and render the the website. It shows me what google see and what visitors see. Visitors see it correctly, google doesn’t see much.
My website has also slowed down significantly since I tried to speed it up. Usually the browser stays on loading for a while then loads most stuff until I hit the refresh button. At that point it loads everything. My host provider said it has to do with the theme and too many redirects. Can someone help? Here is a link https://www.uspolitics.news/
Hello,
My website is very slow when using newspaper theme, it takes over 60 seconds to fully load!
Speed test pic when using newspaper theme: http://i.imgur.com/XiDqzjW.png 64 seconds to load!
Speed test pic when using tweenty sixteen theme: http://i.imgur.com/dOWinkn.png 0.8 seconds to load!
This obviously shows that there is something wrong with newspaper theme.
I am using Godaddy Managed WordPress hosting. It seems the theme is broken and does not work with managed wordpress hosting the way it should. (I find this very ironic, since its WORDPRESS hosting.)
What can I do to fix this problem?
I’m also getting random erros when trying to upload images to media library. There is also no preview thumbnails in my media library for pictures that were uploaded when using newspaper theme. Again, this only happens with newspaper theme. If I switch to any other theme like tweenty sixteen everything works perfectly.
(Also, the only plugin I use is visual composer.)
Please help.
Hello Larshell,
Unfortunately, it is not a simple task to achieve what you want. Each of blocks are using a different thumb with a specific size and WordPress will crop the image top center.
In order to identify the ideal/average size, you need to figure out which is the largest container that will display that particular image and upload an image bigger than that container. Then there is the post template to consider. If you use post templates with big image backgrounds (style 6, 7 or 8), then your uploaded image has to be bigger (especially on style 8). You need to assess your website’s layout (posts and block elements) and come up with an average image size that will work on smaller containers but also keep good quality on bigger ones.
You can read more about thumbs and featured images here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
The theme uses thumbs to reduce the page size and speed up page loading time. From each image uploaded are generated thumbs for each thumb size used by the theme. Basically, when a post it’s displayed on the page in a block, the featured image displayed is not the one which you uploaded in the media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at the precise dimension. To change the picture orientation most likely you will need a different cropping system. We use a WordPress function – add_image_size() – you can read about it here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
To display more levels you need custom modifications and I suggest to hire a freelancer to do this for you as we cannot provide custom work at this time, sorry!
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Can I add to this – Speed booster is automatically disabled on our website because it detects and incompatible plugin including: buddypress/bp-loader.php
Is there an option to override?
Hello Rasken,
Please tell me what kind of header style do you use? I need to know this because depends then I try to change the color of the hover and the classes are different.
If you are using header style to default, you should try the code below to change the hover color, like this:
.menu-item-913:hover {
background-color:red;
}
The result: http://screencast.com/t/qeroQ2Ml2
If you are using, for example header style 3, it is a bit more complicated because appear a lot of classes, like this:
.td-header-style-3 .black-menu .sf-menu > .current-menu-item > a, .td-header-style-3 .black-menu .sf-menu > .current-menu-ancestor > a, .td-header-style-3 .black-menu .sf-menu > .current-category-ancestor > a, .td-header-style-3 .black-menu .sf-menu > li > a:hover, .td-header-style-3 .black-menu .sf-menu > .sfHover > a {
background-color: red!important;
}
The result: http://screencast.com/t/Lweewp77j
As default font, our theme use ‘Roboto’ and ‘Open Sense’.
For more information about pagespeed, please check our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
About your second request, you can try to do minification to style.css to improve your website speed. We do not recomend this thing because it is possible to appear some errors in our theme but you can try to do this. We have reports about this that function properly. As reference, you should check this tutorial http://screencast.com/t/lgzXo4l8iG and also you should find a plugin to do this for you.
You can do a quick search through the forum to see other tools you can use: https://forum.tagdiv.com/search/minify/

Hello, I was using Explicit theme by industrial themes with W3T Cache Plugin and my website performance rating were PageSpeed Score = A (96%) and YSlow Score = A (90%) But after installing Newspaper theme and Super cache plugin my scores are PageSpeed Score = D (61%) and YSlow Score = A (84%) Performance report
Hello Albert,
Unfortunately, it is possible when you enable all your plugins, errors occur again. In fact, there is a conflicting plugin. We recommend using only the tested plugins, as you can see in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/3XkYOUwpe . WP super caches is a tested plugin, but this will may create a conflict with another untested plugins as you are used. The only option for you would be to search for other plugins to do the same thing but not to cause errors in the theme.
When you are using many types of size in theme, the speed of website will slow down because the theme has to be loaded more details and is required more time. You may use the all the fonts as default with just two styles as you said above…the problem with “slow down” appears when you use more than 2,3,4,…10 style.
Our theme are using h3 tag to display article titles. If you want to change the size of this, you have to use a bit of Css, like this:
.home h3 {
font-size: 20px!important;
}
The result you should see here:http://screencast.com/t/k7Mr296li
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience!
