I ran gtmetrix with Standard Pack activated and not activated.
Both times I received the same results. What am I missing?
Hello !
Please make sure that you deactivate the standard pack, and you clear your website cache, then test it. Also please provide a link to your website in order to inspect.
Thank you !
Here you are
https://tools.pingdom.com/#5bbfc651fb800000 – Plugin Deactivated
https://tools.pingdom.com/#5bbfc71678000000 – Plugin Activated, Cache Cleared after Plugin activation
I did one more step>
https://tools.pingdom.com/#5bbfd113cd400000 – Plugin DEactivated, Cache Cleared after Plugin DEactivation
Hello !
We have inspected your website but as you can see here too: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/robime.it/ZbEEAgwO the elements that are slowing down your page are elements that come from your content and not from the theme.
Thank you !
Dear Vlad,
thanks for your reply.
I am not talking about the speed. What I am interested is to see difference in Number of Requests and Size when the Standard Plugin is switched on/off.
Currently there is no difference. Why is it? I aassume that whend the SP is switched off there should be less Requests and Size.
Hello !
Sorry for misunderstanding !
Please note that if you had your Newspaper Theme running on cloud library before too you will not see any difference because simply deactivating the plugin will not affect anything.
Thank you !
No problem. What about number of requests? How Cloud can have impact on the number of requests?
Hello !
Cloud library loads only the requests that are used on that page where on standard pack it loads all the requests at once.
I hope this was helpful !
Thank you !
Does it mean that when SP is de-activated the number of requests shall be significantly lower? Its not the case reported by gmetrix.
Hello !
That case is not reported by gtmetrix because if we take a look at the requests number and their source you will see that for example a lot of requests come from the fonts because you’re using a high number of them: https://www.screencast.com/t/1LODK6fVkg but most of what the deactivating the standard pack has done is remove the style.css files and that can be seen on CSS size which has been decreased, and most of your website is already optimized and most of the files converted to cloud templates and that is why the difference is so small.
I hope this was more helpful !
Thank you !
Dear Vlad,
thanks for explanation. I appreciate it!
Re fonts. This is next step we are going to look after. There are plenty fonts from templates. If you have good advice, how to approach this, let me know.
Have a nice day,
Hello !
At the moment you will have to go manually through the blocks and start removing the fonts you’re not using or change them to 1 or 2 fonts that you want. Our developers are working to reduce the number of request for fonts even more.
I hope this was helpful !
Thank you !
Dear Vlad,
all fonts are setup as default. Why the following fonts are loaded? Are we missing something?

Hello !
Please make sure that you “clean up” the fonts using the compoer. Because you have the options to set the fonts in Style tab here: https://www.screencast.com/t/XttowHht
I hope this was helpful !
Thank you !
Thanks. I have realized that we need to check the fonts for every display.
Hi,
Unfortunately yes, the font style is apply now individually, also for the number of request you can compare some of our classic demos with some pro demos, and you’ll see that there is a little difference -> https://i.imgur.com/lFrGX9D.png -> https://i.imgur.com/n9dF0dk.png
Thank you!
