I’ve read a few threads about this, but couldn’t seem to find a resolution.
Running the latest versions of WP and Newspaper.
My site started ramping up the number of processes every time the home page loaded, so much so that I got a nasty-gram form my hosting providing telling me to cool it…or else!
I went through everything I could think of – optimizing databases, caching, etc. and the issue just never went away.
I run a low-traffic site so i could not figure this problem out.
I discovered today that it looks like Newsmag template is causing the issue. When i swap templates – zippy skippy. When i put Newspaper back on, no joy. Testing this a bunch of different ways and always the same result.
I have since found some older posts regarding this issue, but I couldn’t seem to find anywhere that the issue had been resolved.
My site is functionally unusable with the Newspaper theme, so if there is no fix, i’d appreciate any advice on similar styled templates.
TagDiv – i did send you an email at your contacts@ email address with additional info in case you can take a look at my site and see if there is anything that can be done to salvage the speed. I looked a long time to find the perfect template for what I wanted, and would have to have to bail on it and rebuilt with another template if this is salvageable.
Thanks

Hi,
If the problem is basically related to the homepage, then it can also be related to a certain element on it, a sort, a filter, or a slider.
Thank you for contacting us by email, it will be much easier for us to investigate the problem there if we also have access to the site.
We will return as soon as possible with an answer by email.
Thank you!
*SOLVED* Shout out to Calin, who looked into the issue on my site and discovered that (if I understood this issue correctly) the theme was creating requests to load a homepage logo that it could not find, creating repeated requests and ultimately slowing the site down to a crawl. Believe this has been fixed and the site appears to be running normally now.
