My site is abysmally slow – but I’d like to work on the actual issues before I add a caching plugin. I’ve come across many speed articles and supposed Newspaper Optimization – but I can’t figure out what is current, or where any of things mentioned are.

Performance Optimization
Among the most anticipated features are options to minify and aggregate inline CSS of blocks, accessible directly from the Theme Panel. Additionally, you can now hide the mobile menu and mobile search functions, offering a cleaner user experience on mobile devices.
The Newspaper Theme has leveled up its performance by optimizing the Theme Panel’s color settings through CSS variables. Moreover, JavaScript files will only be loaded when they are needed, which should noticeably improve the website’s speed.
What are the instructions for this? I have no clue where to click or what to do – AI lies constantly and makes things up. What is a step by step guide to gain the advantages claimed above?
https://tagdiv.com/how-to-increase-page-loading-speed/ – is this still accurate?
I’d love an updated step by step list on how to speed up newspaper before I add a plugin to do so.
Hello,
“Performance Optimization
Among the most anticipated features are options to minify and aggregate inline CSS of blocks, accessible directly from the Theme Panel. Additionally, you can now hide the mobile menu and mobile search functions, offering a cleaner user experience on mobile devices.” – here is how you can enable those options:
-> Footer delayed load https://prnt.sc/FS34hBno40sx (under the theme panel > footer > footer delayed load)
-> MINIFY INLINE CSS and AGGREGATE INLINE CSS – https://prnt.sc/en14t6CQChM- (under the theme panel > block settings> inline css)
-> Don’t load on mobile/desktop, this option is only on the cloud header for HEADER MENU https://prnt.sc/udlAW4icvSPP on HEADER MENU STICKY https://prnt.sc/9pKnilQdWyex on MOBILE MENU https://prnt.sc/ff7fRQvTnaXt and on MOBILE MENU STICKY https://prnt.sc/Mm-4mbC4WB68
-> Flex Blocks cache – https://forum.tagdiv.com/use-flex-blocks-cache-option/
“The Newspaper Theme has leveled up its performance by optimizing the Theme Panel’s color settings through CSS variables. Moreover, JavaScript files will only be loaded when they are needed, which should noticeably improve the website’s speed.” – yest this is apply as long you are using cloud tenmplates, so if you do not have the tagDiv STandard pack plugin in used (this is loading all css and js even if is not need), then it will load only the js and css that will be used on that page/template.
Also, it is recommended to use a good cache plugin and even Cloudflare (CDN)
Thank you!
Thank you – that is really helpful.
I can’t seem to get here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/use-flex-blocks-cache-option/ – if I open my post template I don’t see anything w flex blocks? I tried also on my home page where i use Block 3 but don’t see caching there either.
Hi,
The caching option is available only for Flex Blocks. For standard blocks (from the tagDiv Standard Pack), this option is not available.
From what I can see, your website is currently using an older demo (not a PRO demo). This means it relies on standard templates rather than cloud templates, which comes with both advantages and limitations.
One of the main drawbacks is that these templates offer fewer customization options. Additionally, the CSS and JavaScript files are loaded across the entire website, even if certain elements are not actively used—simply having the plugin enabled is enough for them to load.
