As you all know, Google’s speed update would be live in July.
Is TagDiv planning to release an update to improve the speed of the site using Newspaper theme?
Main ways to optimize your site for ‘speed’ include optimizing images, proper caching, fast server with multiple access points, limit number of thumbs loaded per page in modules, limit number of external sources, consider next gen tech like PHP 7.2 with opcache, mod_pagespeed and HTTP/2 support. Obviously anything you can do on your end like not using external fonts (use web safe browser fonts), avoid “query to external source” stuff like how many social shares, weather, jetpack, etc. — all impact “speed.”
Speed has been a factor for quite some time now, it’s not entirely new.
Have you checked your posts using Lighthouse and checked what you can do now to address issues with your site? Good place to start.
