Hey – So your demos are loading pretty fast. (I’m looking at the original demo)
I hope you don’t mind me asking these questions…
1. What type of hosting do you use?
2. Do you have retina images enabled?
3. Are you using a CDN?
4. Do you have your Mobile Plugin enabled?
5. Do you have the TD Booster enable?
If you can’t answer all of these, I completely understand.
Best,
IC
Hello,
Page speed is a very personal thing Optimization has to be doen on your site to achieve better speeds. Please follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
1) We use softlayer – http://www.softlayer.com/
2) We do not have retina images enabled on our demo.
3) We do use cdn (cloudflare) and we recommend these settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
4) We did not activate the mobile theme plugin on our demo.
5) We do not have speedbooster enabled on the demo.
Thank you!
Hey Bodan – Thanks for the reply.
1. How many Cores and Ram? (have you had any experience with SiteGround hosting and their Cloud product?)
3. I have the CloudFlare Pro account – Do you use Raygun or any of the apps?
4. Using Cloudflare – I have Auto Minify selected and cleared cache… waited 5 minutes and ran the Google PageSpeed Insights again.. It’s still giving me a notice to Minify JavaScript and CSS.

5. Have you had any experience with WordFence Security?

6. WP Super Cache – The admin for WP Super Cache has changed (see Screen Cap). What do you recommend?

7. Any reason you are using PHP or Mod Rewrite?

1. We have not tested SiteGround, sorry. As for the specs, I cannot disclose them. Our theme has these requirements for hosting https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
3 and 4. We only use these settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/ we have not tested anything extra that is not specified in the guide
5. If using wordfence you will have to make sure you set the firewall on learning mode otherwise it will block any setting in the theme panel and block any change you make to your theme. It seems to work fine otherwise.
6. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
7. The main reason is that it’s the option that works best with our theme. We have tried all settings to see which combination works best and this was the result we found to be the best solution. We recommend PHP, not mode rewrite
Thank you!
Thanks for the thorough answers.
Best,
IC
