Hi, I upgraded to the new update two days ago and I have noticed that the Grid pictures are very slow to load compared to the previous version and that the Twitter button also loads very slowly on posts. Also all of my social media buttons have disappeared from the home page excerpts.
site is http://www.rockshot.co.uk/dir
I am running the same number of plugins as before…any advice?
Hello,
You could try to disable lazy load animation: http://screencast.com/t/vavPaadUgt. That generally increases load speed a bit. I have also checked your site console and you seem to have quite a few errors in there: http://screencast.com/t/EPqnyjxqa9.
You can also follow this tutorial on page speed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Or a few tips from our users tips: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagespeed/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-pagespeed-2015/
I hope this helps!
Thank you!
Hi Thanks for the advice. It certainly loads faster with out the Lazy Load on the front page. I still have the other issues of the tweet/count button taking to long to load and that all the social buttons have gone from the front page excerpts since the upgrade….they were working fine until the update. The tweet button takes about 6 seconds to load look at this post for an idea.

The plugin maker would like to speak to you about a code or hook to insert..how can they contact you. The plugin in question is one of the biggest social share plugins available and is Easy Social Share. It is supplied via Code Canyon. Their contact details are Apps Creoworx <appscreo@gmail.com>
Hi,
Newspaper 6 is practically a new theme, whole the code was rewritten, so if you had custom implementation to the code(socials on modules for example) you will have to re-add them.
Regarding the tweet like button slow loading, you could try this without any plugins active, leave only Visual Composer active, clear cache and see if you still have this issue.
Unfortunately we don’t have a hook to insert, but you could try to implement this for every module that you use, please check the plugin’s documentation – http://screencast.com/t/5d3WkY3UU – http://support.creoworx.com/easy-social-share-buttons-version-3-documentation/
Edit the theme’s modules – http://screencast.com/t/aaDEEo7w3
Thanks!
Thanks for that.
The first point in terms of slow loading tweet buttons, I have disabled the social options for posts in the Theme panel and the site loads extremely quickly so there might be a general problem there not just on my site.
The second point on trying to get social buttons to load on the website I will look at your documentation.
Thanks for your quick support.
Hi
I have tried the site without the Tag Div plugin and this seems to allow the tweet button to load a lot faster.
Can I run the site with our the TagDiv plugin….what exactly does that plug-in do?
