Hello,
I am using the East Coast template, when testing the website on GT Metrix it has a very poor result https://prnt.sc/npAbu1E3_aTz If I look at the genereated report the issues causing the poor score consists of google video elements..? Could you indicate to me which elements are using this on my homepage? How can I resolve this?
All my best,
André
Hello André !
I suggest you to optimize your images before uploading into your Media Library.
Check those guides : https://web.dev/lcp/ – > https://www.sqlpac.com/en/documents/google-pagespeeds-lighthouse-6-new-features-lcp-cls.html -> https://www.xtechkr.com/optimize-newspaper-theme/
Please check the tutorials from those platforms gt metrix and Google Pagespeed Insights and I’m sure you can increase the page speed.
Please note that page speed or optimization is not covered by the support team: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/
Thank you!
Hello Bettina, thanks for your quick reply. However I must say that when advertising for a blazing fast and SEO optimized theme, it requires a lot of customisations to get things running.
Looking at the URL’s generated (https://www.vissenvanuitjehuisje.nl/tdcpt_directories/test/) not very SEO friendly. Now Pagespeed results which are poor because there is a lot of unused stuff loading ( https://rr2—sn-32o-guh6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?expire=1682693135&ei=r4dLZKyKCvuMxN8PkZ-r8AQ&ip=20.90.79.252&id=o-AHzxQ58ElOWraRLdrFlcn3bX6UTFNy0) causing the poor score.
Support is referring to extern websites for solutions rather then having support through a ticket system. But good for Tagdive everyone seems fine with it…

Noone is satisfied with the results – there has been many posts in there about the poor results in the speed tools. On a personal level, I have raised the concern several times, here and on e-mail, and the standard reply is always to optimize the images or go through a million of tutorials. There is never a constructive piece of advice because speed issues and Core Web Vitals are not a priority. And the worst part is that the theme has gotten increasingly slow during the past couple of years.
I agree with you, it’s a shame that they don’t even bother to offer a suitable solution. The Issues I have are related to bad coding of the template, I take my business elswhere 😉
Waist of time
