Hello,
I have a problem with two sites that I am using the newspaper theme with. They are just so freaking slow and keep on loading. I tried disabled the plugins but it didn`t work.
Hi,
Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized.
Notice that is not a simple task and if you do not have any experience in this regard you will do not bring good results for the theme. Also, notice that we have a speed optimization tutorial but this is addressed only to advanced users. So, if you follow the steps which are presented in this tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ you can increase the page speed loading and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because the speed optimization services are not covered by our support policy, as you can read here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/ Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ regarding on dedicated server to fit our requirements.
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option to minify the style.css file and we cannot recommend any plugins with this functionality because is not tested with our theme. For minifying this file, we are using CloudFlare for our demo and works fine. If you want to read other views from our users, please check this topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tip-how-to-easily-minify-your-css-without-breaking-your-site/
Also, check all of your Ad Spots and if you have entered any suspicious code through them, remove all of them and check the results without them.
One of our top members here on the forum wrote his own optimization tutorial here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/ and here -> https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/
Basically, these are the theme requirements

Thanks for your understanding!
I have reah through all of this steps and optimized the site and it still keeps loading 11 seconds. I have used your theme before but never had that kind of issue. Both these sites take an unusual time to load:
https://spordipanus.ee/
https://kasiinoboss.com/
Disabled all plugins but did not change a thing. Server is of top class and I have been always using these servers.
I cant even use https://gtmetrix.com/ because the site is too slow and doesnt load even there.
Hi,
Sorry but please notice that we cannot provide support for your speed optimization of your website. You should follow the recommended steps and if you are not aware of these, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you! Usually, we recommend the developers from studio.envato.com.
Thanks.
I have followed all the steps but it does not help. I have the same issue with 2 of my sites that both are using newspaper black theme. Definitely a theme issue. I have already hired freelancer but they have been unable to resolve this.
It is fixed now. I changed the demo and it is fast again. Your black theme version has some kind of a bug that slows the website down dramatically. The developer confirmed that.
Hi,
We have tested our demo with Google Page Speed Insights and we bring this score -> https://www.screencast.com/t/P18UTcCg
Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized. Lately, the Google Page Speed Insight seems to change the layout and is not always reliable. You should follow our useful guide in that case from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thanks for your understanding!
