Website looks "basic" during pre load

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi,

I installed the theme yesterday and have spent the past 48 hours optimizing it but I’m having a problem with the website loading. The loading speed is quite slow and the site shows up in a raw and basic way before it loads fully. (You may be able to tell that I’m not a pro at this!)

I downloaded the plugin ‘Above the fold’ which according to them:
“This plugin enables to pass the “Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content”-rule from Google PageSpeed Insights.” This plugin does speed up the website but leaves this preload problem….

Overall the theme is nearly perfect with great customization but I’m having difficulty finding plugins to run with this theme as almost all the plugins I was previously using don’t work, so are there specific plugins that come recommended for this theme, especially in terms of speeding up the site? E.G. I can’t find a plugin to help with compression.

Thanks a million for any help anyone might have!

Sorry… Site is failmuch.com

Hello failmuch,

If you want to have a good speed for your website, you need to optimize your site for optimized images, caching. Also, please use the Tag Div speed booster plugin. The theme cannot fix your content or your website or hosting.
Please check our documentation in this case and also read through this to get a better understanding on how you can improve your site performance. You have to optimize the settings on your side, check the page speed guide on how to do this – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ – and this one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-pagespeed-2015/

Please notice that these customizations it addresses only the advanced users and if you are not aware to the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this for you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!

Thank you for your understanding!

Hi Catalin,

Thanks for your reply.

I can’t find the TagDiv Speed booster plugin. Where do I locate or install it.
I think I will hire a developer to fix the problems but that plugin might be enough.
Thanks again

Hello failmuch,

Our Tag Div booster is an optional plugin and you do not find it in Plugins area, here -> http://screencast.com/t/eZFWIi3ZzdE3 If you want to instal it, you have to do it manually. This plugin comes with our theme and if you want to activate it you have to import the zip file from theme folder -> http://screencast.com/t/95gEGl3cY All these information you will find in our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ Also, please notice that this thing is addressed only for advanced users as you can see in our document and if you are not aware to the steps you will have to hire a freelancer/developer to implement it for you because we cannot provide support for this.

Thank you for the message!
