Hello,
We have 5 licenses to Newspaper 9 Themes. Our main site, theaiorganization.com is on old newspaper9 version. Our speed for homepage has never been faster than 2.4 seconds, and 1.6 for post pages, with usual 3.0 seconds on main page which is not satisfacory. Each technician we consulted with stated it is the coding inside Newspaper9.
1. When we updated to the new WordPress 5.72, it broke the Tagdiv Composer, we had to uninstall, reverse to previous wordpress version, and reset the entire website for theme to work with Tagdiv Composer. Is it because Tagdiv has bugs related to new wordpress or not yet compatible? Also, how should we get to upgrade to Newspaper 10 and to 11?
2. Tag Div AMP app for faster speed, after installing the AMP app, the Tagdiv Composer also has issues. Why?
3. What is the general speed Newspaper 9 is supposed to achieve for load in? Our testing process was with pingtool and mostly with Gmetrix speed test. We see other themes or your competitors, achieve 1.0 seconds with more data than we have, compapered to the Newspaper 9 3-4 seconds.
Please provide solutions and direct answers to each question and issue with pictures, and directions so we can obtain around 1 second. We use Cloudflare to ensure good security and fast service, so the Theme here is the issue. We also have Plugin for Cache.
Thank you,

Hello!
1. How exactly was the plugin broke ? If it displays shortcodes everywhere you will have to simply reinstall it and activate it. This should fix the issue, if not, please let us know what the result is and send us a screenshot of the error.
2. AMP plugin does work with Newspaper theme and the plugins. Please make sure to use the official AMP that comes with the theme: https://www.screencast.com/t/HKHUKosVx
3. Page speed of any website depends on how well the website is optimized. That mean that everything from content, fonts, images, host, caching, plugins, everything has to be adjusted so the performance will be top notch. You can see here examples of websites that are very well optimized: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/why-i-cant-pass-google-core-vitals/
I hope this was helpful!
Thank you!
