I do agree on being a bit against the “bloated one plugin for all” concept. I used to hate YOAST. We used to build our own themes, or hack things like Canvas to add custom if/then and queries for meta data in our headers. Yoast simply made it easier for us to deploy and add some things more quickly. But it has gotten a bit big and bloated and every major version it crashes and burns. I certainly don’t think it’s the only game in town, but it does work for a lot of folks. Of course, we’re using some other things on some sites, just because they’re smaller and work as well.

As for canonical tags — the reason they are useful for many sites, is for things like the pending /amp/ protocol from Google rolling out in 2016 to speed up mobile pages separate from things like mod_pagespeed or http/2 (previously inclusive of mod_SPDY). So, for example mobile accelerated pages will soon be loaded as so:
yoursite.ooo/name-of-my-article/amp/ — in this context, the canonical tag is useful to identify the /amp/ version is not another page, but an alternate “version” of the same page.

In our case — I should have stated — we syndicate our news from some sites, and the canonical tag helps identify we did it first, and when we link back to the parent page from the child syndicator.

Also be aware that article on MOZ is from 2013, and going into 2016, the canonical tag is more mature now.

However, you are correct — if you have no duplicate versions of content, if you’re not dealing with malformed inbound links to your site like /site/name-of-article/?12hy6 — where Google is saying you have duplicate content for too many 404 errors — then you may not need it !!

In our case, it helps control inbound malformed links from external sites, and also because with modern social media you have a dozen sites inventing their own links to your website page; meaning FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. all use a shortcode in some case to link to you, and the canonical can help identify that the URL on your site is the de-facto CORRECT one, even though it should be self evident being on your site.

I’m not arguing you need to have them, just saying they are useful and do NOT hurt inbound traffic in any way. Just like adding a default img tag, or an author tag, or other meta data; it’s read by those systems that have use for it, and other things ignore it.

Anyway — just some food for thought 🙂

Hi catalin,

I tried disabling plugs in on the main plugins tab of WordPress as well as the plugins on NewsMag panel. But it didnt work. My suspects are the new plugs in installed by my friend:

Autoptimize
Optimizes your website, concatenating the CSS and JavaScript code, and compressing it.

EWWW Image Optimizer
Reduce file sizes for images within WordPress including NextGEN Gallery and GRAND FlAGallery. Uses jpegtran, optipng/pngout, and gifsicle.

Unveil Lazy Load
This plugin makes lazy-image-load possible to decrease number of requests and improve page loading time, and uses a lightweight jQuery plugin created by optimizing Unveil.js in order to only load an image when it’s visible in the viewport.

ZenCache
ZenCache is an advanced WordPress caching plugin inspired by simplicity. Speed up your site (BIG time!) with a reliable and fast WordPress cache.

But not sure on which one from them or if there is any.

The AJAX Preload stopped working last week while the Smart sidebar just a couple of days ago, I can’t track if which plugin has affected it.

My other suspect for the Smart Sidebar is that I put an tagdive Slide. I already removed it tho.

Thanks

1. Okay on the GTMetrix, you will see a Minify CSS. click on “see optimized…”. You will copy it and then go to your Editor, select or clear the style.css, then paste the minified css.

2. Search for EWWW image optimizer plugin, install it and “Bulk optimize” all your images.

3. Then search for Regenerate Thumbnails Plugin. You should Regenerate your thumbnails that way they will fit in your blocks.

4. Download WP Super cache and set it up, use mod_rewrite, it is the fastest.

5. You should get Cloudflare, and set it up as well then click on minify css and javascript but not html because WP Super Cache handles that for you.

All these should reduce your page size and increase your pagespeed.

All these settings I gave you made me score 90+ on desktop and 70+ on mobile before i added the Ads 😉

Factwide is my website, you can test its pagespeed to verify my claims.

well, first of all google pagespeed its diferent than website speed 😛
PageSpeed
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.upsctoday.com%2F

Google Page Speed show you / make recomendations to get better web site experience. Like your problem now
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following: You should move to footer CSS related to your plugins wysija-newsletters, contextual-related-postsm, Easy table, and add to any, because they are blocking your site render speed.
You should move to footer wp-spamshield too.

Web Site Speed is how faster your site its loading for everyone.

Reduce server response time
You can check waterfall/timeline and see how your server is responding slowly. I check your source code and i cant find eneabled some cache plugin, Do you installed?
Only your server its making 4 seconds initial waiting time to start loading site resources. This cloud be dropped to 0.2 seconds if you activate Wp-cache or Zen Cache (free plugins)

1- Gzip compression is still not active

There are also some really good articles out there on speeding up your website using Nginx + Varnish for “optimizing WordPress for speed” … don’t have links handy. I looked at that in depth Jan. 2014, ended up sticking with Apache for our little corner of the universe. 🙂

Well.. it makes the site compatible with the AMP protocol. If you read-up on what that is, it’s self explanatory.

It creates a super optimized version of page for mobile which loads at pagepermalink/amp/

I was curious of anybody had tried it yet with TagDiv themes, or just *any* WP website at all?

forgot to include link to plugin in repo:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/amp/

I guess the main thing it does is strip out javascript ?

Not a lot of info out there yet — like in our case running mod_pagespeed would it be necessary?

Day an a half and I am not sure when you are going to check on this. I sent my WordPress access to my website. I even left the speed booster plugin activate but says disabled waiting for you to check it out. I don’t even know if you can access the site or not. Assuming you can.

Hey guys,

please have a look at the following huge different loading results:

would i have any disadvantages (bad google ranking,…) because of the bad googlepage speed?
i have tried so many speed plugins, but the pagespeed on gmetrix AND google stays everytime at the same. What could be the reason for that?

Hello, I had this ‘thing’ forever, from start, when I changed the color in first place. The color that load first is black which lasts for less then half a second, and then it shows the right one.

The main reason for this are plugins similar to Speedbooster. When you send stuff to footer because you want your website to start rendering faster, then the css that shows other color then black in top menu bar is loaded after the default color.

So if you do not want this to happen then just deactivate or modify plugins similar to speedbooster.

For example you can even send the main css style from the theme to the footer. In this case your website will look broken for 200-300 ms.

After you make all this that I wrote, make sure to clear cache if you use caching plugin, or CDN.

Cheers

Now i could activate the speedbooster plugin with your guide,
but the pagespeed is still only at 58.

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhistaminentzug.de%2F&tab=desktop

please have a look at my website, histaminentzug.de, something has to be wrong with it.
Before i updated it to v.6.5.1 , the speed was at 78…

thank you!

Where can I find speed booster plugin? all the other things you mentioned are already added to the website and I’m still facing painfully slow response

Thanks

Hi @teodormiu

Thank you for your kind words!
1. Try this guide and regenerate the thumbnails for all your images: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/ clear all caches and test again. If the image is large enough it should be displayed fine in thumbs.
2. If a post doesn’t have a featured image set the theme load a placeholder image when this option from theme panel is enabled: http://screencast.com/t/qXc9ADVOzKOf To set a custom image you need to add an image in /images/no-thumb directory: http://screencast.com/t/VBrS8hN53 then replace in get_image() function the name of the image like here: http://screencast.com/t/CYZRDHlJs
3. 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 asses 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 media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at 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/

Hope this help.
Thanks!

I think there should be a sticky thread on the cloudflare rocket loader for this theme to turn it off because it effects most of what the theme does. Just a thought for those who keep having some kind of JS issues and with lazy load feature. It really messes up peoples websites that have JS ads on the site too. I am not going to try to manually change certain scripts for to have rocket loader enabled. That seems to drastic to have rocket loader enabled. It does help like 7% on speed on Y-Slow with rocket loader but they still have it in beta.

Not saying this thread but a new thread about images and lazy loading and JS scripts not working and rocket loader is the cause of it.
