Good morning,
I own licenses to both themes but have been having more and more issues with the Newspaper theme and high CPU. Its at the stage where I am at the end of my tether with it.
I am now looking and moving to Newsmag – I have read the article comparing the two but at no point does the CPU issue get mentioned (which seems quite common).
I appreciate I could spend more money on hosting but I am not prepared to be spending more money. So the question I am asking is, how does Newsmag compare on the CPU front? If I move over, will my website have less issues or am I likely to come across similar problems?
??
Hi,
In some cases there are such issues, but generally that is the case with other themes as well. Newspaper and Newsmag are somewhat similar, it can be said that Newsmag is a Newspaper theme without the cloud library plugin, and with a more limited composer.
I see that you mention in another topic that the server you are using has 1GB of memory, that is insufficient even for a testing/staging website, with no traffic. At least 2GB of memory should be used, as the minimum. That is most likely the cause of all the problems.
I had a similar case recently, and after updating the server with another 1GB of memory, everything stabilized and worked perfectly. In my opinion nothing else that you can do or try will solve the problem, or maybe only very little, except adding more memory to the server, which may mean that you will have to choose a higher hosting plan, it usually does.
The composer is basically the theme, deactivating it is like deactivating the theme. The resources usage will drop when deactivating the composer, but testing this way doesn’t mean much if I may say so. Maybe it will be better with the Newsmag theme, but I suggest investing in better hosting if possible, especially since you already built the website with Newspaper.
Let me know.
Thank you!
