I am currently using Urban observer theme on my website and I am getting a low performance score and “Large contentful Paint” is also high.
When I checked the following url of different newspaper demo themes on GTMetrix speed test. Only Urban Observer Pro theme has a lowest score and all the other themes performed well in GTmetrix.

How to improve the score of the UrbanObserver theme like other demo newspaper themes
Hi,
I suggest using WP Rocket plugin.

Also, pagespeed is not covered by support -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/
To be able to optimize and to remove CLS and LCP please check these guide => https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/ -> https://www.sqlpac.com/en/documents/google-pagespeeds-lighthouse-6-new-features-lcp-cls.html -> https://web.dev/lighthouse-whats-new-6.0/ -> https://web.dev/lcp/ -> https://web.dev/cls/
Thank you!
My website is optimized with Litespeed Cache plugin. Previously, I had publication Pro theme installed and it worked perfectly fine with very good speed. Since I liked the design of Urban Observer theme I switched to it and then speed went down.
I think it is not the problem from my end. It is the theme problem especially with Urban Observer theme.
I want to know why only your demo of Urban Observer has lowest score in the below tests.

Hi,
You can now import only the design and check after.
Not all demos are optimized; it depends on the page size, design, optimize the images, and more.
Thank you!
