Dear TagDiv support,
As of the 1st of August we are using Newspaper on the website op Smart Options at smartoptions.io. The theme is great and the functionality is overwhelming so we are still finding out new things and so on.
One thing we noticed however is that the rankings on keywords in Google dropped significantly compared to our previous theme which was Engine by IndustrialThemes. We also noticed that the CWV’s from Google aren’t doing much better while we expected that to be the case, especially on mobile.
We are looking for tips on how to improve the overall speed on our website and how to get our ranking with Google backup.
We are using Yoast SEO, WP Rocket, WordFence and Cloudflare for our website if that’s any help.
Thanks in advance and we’d love hearing you!
Kind regards,
Team Smart Options
Unfortunately, not quite so simple, there is a tutorial (https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/), but really much, you get out unfortunately not. You can do a lot with Cloudflare, but only with the Pro version and of course if you optimize WpRocket a little bit (https://www.andraware.com/wp-rocket-for-newspaper-theme/)
If it’s your own server, you can get a lot out of it with Nginx and Redis in conjunction with W3C Cache. And of course in which one throws for example some from the head (rds etc.)
Hi,
There are many optimization guides provided by our users here in the forum, some made by us, you could check some of them

Maybe your hosting provider can provide some advice as well.
Thank you!
Hi Anamaria,
Thanks, for the great support, the articles are helping us and the speed of the website a lot. I have two other questions and hope you can help me with them.
On one of our shop pages https://smartoptions.io/shop/universal-crypto-signals/, we offer 6 items of our partner but they a not shown next or undernet each other because of the explanation of the services. Does the theme offer a solution for this because I can’t find it?
On Google lighthouse, the desktop version ranks good but on mobile not at all. We tried to set up the mobile theme but we could not get the articles to synchronize with the desktop version.
If I am correct I read that this is possible so we don’t have to separately update the different themes when we change an article or shop item. What would it cost for you or your team to set up the mobile theme for us?
Kind Regards,
Ivo van Herwaarde
Hi smartoptions,
“On one of our shop pages https://smartoptions.io/shop/universal-crypto-signals/, we offer 6 items of our partner but they a not shown next or undernet each other because of the explanation of the services. Does the theme offer a solution for this because I can’t find it?”
If this is a shop page, then you should be able to use tagDiv Composer to display on a woo block the products you want.
For the part with the mobile ranks, you can try to use the mobile page template ?(this can be used on pages and cloud templates) -> https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages/
I hope this will help!
