Site images are loading slowly on mobile

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi, our website is loading images slowly on mobile devices. We’ve ran the site through google page speed tests and optimized several areas of the site, which has helped a lot, but loading several images on the home page of the site is still the main issue. According to the google page speed test, they recommend changing the images to different formats / compressing the images, but doing so on the images makes the images display poorly. We have a few questions about this issue:

1) Have you encountered a similar issue to this with this theme and the images before, and if so, what would you recommend we do to increase the site’s page speed for mobile devices?

2) Is there a way to load a different version of the site for mobile devices? For example, instead of the site’s home page loading 30 stories with images, can the theme detect that it’s a mobile device and only load 5 stories?

3) Another small issue that we’ve found with this theme, the print button is not working when clicked. On any article page in the social sharing section after the article content, the Print button just moves to the top of the page instead of printing the page.

Here’s the page speed results:

Thanks for your help!

Hello !

In order to increase your page speed I recommend followin the steps here: https://tagdiv.com/how-to-increase-page-loading-speed/ ; Also make sure that your system status is up to date and everything is achieved: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-requirements/

In order to have a different and faster look on mobile you should use the Mobile Theme Plugin. Find out more about it here: https://tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-automatic-optimization-for-mobile-newspaper-theme/

Please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict for the print button. It works perfect on our side. Disable ALL non-theme related plugins and delete your cache. For cache we recommend using WP Super Cache: https://tagdiv.com/wp-super-cache-plugin-install-and-configure/

Let me know how this works !

Thank you !
