"Blazing fast" lies – Google Page Speed green zone impossible

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 14

Hi, I’ve just bought and installed the theme. No third party plugins. Why it’s so slow? Google Page Speed Insights – 55/87. For example, after I install Twenty Twenty – Google Page Speed gives 100/100. You landing page promise people “blazing fast”. Do you understand that you are just cheating?

Do not send me the link to speed optimization instruction. It just doesn’t work. I did it with another customer. Blazing speed is impossible with your theme. I even wanted to pay your guy to optimize a website of my customer who had your theme. But your guy wrote me that the theme is fully speed optimized when it had 30/70 Google Page Speed.

Please, fix it ASAP. Do not decieve people.

Hi!
I’m sorry that you are facing issues using Newspaper Theme. The page loading speed for both mobile and desktop depends on many factors and you can’t compare an empty theme like Twenty Twenty with a fully functional, features loaded theme like Newspaper that helps you create a website in a few hours.
We know that you requested us to optimize the page loading speed and our development team refused your invitation as your website is slowed down by the ads loading on your website. I’m sorry, we really wanted to help you, but we can’t optimize the ads as on each page load, the speed tests are waiting for the ads to get fully loaded. So, if in a specific moment, the ads server takes 10 sec to deliver the ads, your page results will display 10 sec delay added to the rest loading time.
The other recommendation was to use the Mobile theme, and now (after the last update) optimize the pages for mobile. You can find more about the new optimization for mobile in this article – https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages/ .
We are not deceiving customers. We are building a long term collaboration with our customers. You can see on our demos what page loading speed score can a website loaded with content can have. ca However, page loading speed can depend on many factors, and each website is unique from this point of view.
Let me explain some of these factors and maybe they give you some starting points for optimizing your website.
External factors: server speed, if you are using CDN or not, the external resources loaded by your website like ads, fonts, tracking scripts like Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Twitter analytics, Hotjar and so on.
Internal factors: the number of elements on the page, image size, image formats, if you are using mobile optimized layouts, console errors, if you are using the Standard Pack plugin on not, if you are using PRO demo or a standard one.
We can’t not provide a solution for you here, right now as we do not know what are the conditions on your website. You can make the following tests:
1. Activate tagdiv Composer and Standard Pack, install a standard demo and check the page loading speed, then disable the Standard Pack and activate the cloud template and install a pro demo. You’ll see that the speed will improve significantly. Also, you should consider creating the mobile optimized pages for each of your pages to improve the speed on the small screen devices.
2. Test your website in a page speed test la GTMetrix or Google Pagespeed Insights and check the loading time on the ads, fonts and tracking scripts – if there is something there that slows your website down, take action.
Our developers are constantly working on improving Newspaper Theme performance. If you need our help, please send us an email at bogdan@tagdiv.com, we’ll evaluate your client’s website and see if there is something we can do to assist you.
Thank you for your understanding!

Hello, thank you for your polite answer.

There are no ads on my website. It’s empty. No third party plugins. Only your theme and installed demo. The webservers are also fast.

There are only your theme, your plugins and 3 new posts. You can check it yourself: flbible.ru

Your theme is slow. Install your demo on the fastest webserver, optimize the theme and check it with Google Page Speed.

Please, acknoledge the problem and fix.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Max
