Mobile Theme questions, PageSpeed Insights and Cloudflare APO

Posted in: Newsmag

Hi Calin,

on our site we are using NewsMag a couple of years. The problem is, that our score on PageSpeed Insights for mobile is terrible. Now I’m testing the mobile theme in a staging area and the options for the mobile theme are very limited. For example there is no possibility to disable the mobile theme on the startpage, or create an own theme for mobile.

In considering that google will publish the new ranking factors in may 2021, I think it would be recommendable to put more energy into the mobile version. And this is only possible with the Newspaper Theme, right?

If it is so, then I think I must change the Theme from Newsmag to Newspaper.

Can you tell me, how I should proceed to change the theme from Newsmag to Newspaper?
It is possible to migrate everything (Layout/Pages/Settings) from Newsmag to Newspaper?

We are using Cloudflare as CDN and it is absolutely necessary, that we are using the Cloudflare APO before May. Does the Newspaper theme supports the Cloudflare APO for desktop and mobile theme?

Thank you in advanced
Andre

Hi celhil, if you are sing the latest theme version, Newspaper v4.9.6 then the mobile theme can be disable on pages and posts -> https://i.imgur.com/SNSa4oo.png this option is available in Gutenberg editor, you can check more in our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
The Newspaper theme has another option for mobile , this is the mobile page/template, but for the moment this is not optimize for amp.
To migrate from a theme to another is quite tricky, for example if you use a demo and you made some changes on that demo content, this will be lost (when a demo is uninstalled/change the content of that demo is removed pages/posts/categories), you must duplicate that content to make sure that after you migrate everything is ok. Also if you have settings made in theme files, those will be lost, if you use a child theme, this need to be changed. As a conclusion, it can be done, but you must be very carefully.
The Cloudflare APO was not tested with the theme, but we have t on our list, unfortunately, I do not know to say a date when this will be tested.
Thank you!
