Hi all, we are seeing a very poor performance on our WordPress with this theme (bad pagespeed, affecting traffic).
Here are a couple of things which could improve performance:
– images inside the sub-menu – can we defer their loading?
– inline scripts – is there a way to serve minified versions of these?
Any other helpful tips will be appreciated. The usual things – minifying assets, gzip, expires headers etc. are all taken care of.
Hi,
For mega menu are 3 options in Newspaper>Theme panel>Header >main Menu -> https://www.screencast.com/t/SLh6ZKSzrjJ
For a better performance please make sure that the theme system status is configured as mentioned in the requirements guide. Please follow the guide carefully
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
For mobile version you can use the mobile theme -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
-> https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdemo.tagdiv.com%2Fnewspaper_local_news%2F

Thanks for your understanding!
Thank you. Many of these links helped.
One major bottleneck I feel are the images that are loaded in the sub-menu. Is it possible to defer the images unless visitor hovers over menu? There is no point loading 4-8 images in the header unless visitor wants to see them, as they are invisible.
Hi,
Please try the settings from Newspaper>Theme panel>header Main menu -> https://www.screencast.com/t/3IL923gW here is some documentation

Thank you!
