Website Performance and Mobile View Issues

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 5

Hello,

I am experiencing the following issues with my WordPress theme and would like to request support:

Slow Site Loading and Performance Issues

Website: https://scopefeed.com/
Desk https://prnt.sc/Pm8w1k7V_SwB
Mobile https://prnt.sc/ymktywsdD_sM

I receive “Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)” warnings in speed tests.
My Speed Index is also significantly high.
These negative results in Google PageSpeed and similar tools are affecting user experience.
Recommended Plugins and Settings

I have installed WP Super Cache as recommended by the theme support team.
I followed the setup instructions provided at https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
I also configured my Cloudflare settings as detailed in the theme documentation at https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
Ongoing Problems

Despite these configurations, I am not seeing a notable improvement in my PageSpeed scores, especially concerning LCP and Speed Index.
The site remains slow to load.
Mobile View Issue

On some devices, and occasionally even on my own computer, the site displays the mobile version instead of the desktop version.
This occurs randomly, suggesting there might be a caching or theme conflict.
I have attached a screenshot of the Google PageSpeed results for reference.

Could you please assist me in troubleshooting these issues? Are there additional cache, Cloudflare, or theme settings I need to check or adjust? I would also appreciate your guidance on resolving the mobile view problem.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards.

The site needs serious optimization:

Too much JavaScript – needs to be deferred. Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/ACCbGsnathL3
Fonts should be preloaded.
CSS needs optimization.
Many third-party requests should be deferred. Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/Yi662H8uUVWl
Cloudflare settings might not be optimized properly—I couldn’t verify them.

also, adjust the image resolution in the Tagdiv composer
use a better Cache plugin.

Hello,

I checked your website, and you have a lot of errors.
First, I saw that you use the AMP plugin, I recommend disabling it because it is deprecated https://developer.bigcommerce.com/docs/storefront/wordpress/platform-integration/enabling-amp
I just tested your website, and I saw that you have a lot of scripts for ads https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-scopefeed-com/nhdzflbmj5?form_factor=desktop
You need to use a plugin, such as the WP Rocket plugin, to reduce and optimize requests. Additionally, consider using the EWWW Image Optimizer for image optimization and the OMGF plugin for font optimization.

Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for your previous recommendations. I have followed your advice, but I’m still experiencing the same issues:

Recommended Theme Settings

I am still using the theme developer’s suggested configurations.
WP-Super Cache is installed and configured as recommended.
Plugins and Additional Adjustments

I have the Google Kit plugin installed for AdSense application.
“Spinet” is enabled for news registration.
I installed the AMP plugin because it was recommended by the theme. Previously, it was set to “mobile + AMP,” but following your advice, I switched it to “AMP only.”
I installed the EWWW Image Optimizer plugin to optimize images.
I have temporarily disabled Google Auto Ads.
Ongoing Issues

I haven’t seen any significant improvements in overall site speed or metrics such as Largest Contentful Paint (LCP).
The site loading speed is still slow, especially on mobile, which negatively impacts the user experience.
Occasionally, some devices continue to display the mobile version of the site instead of the desktop version.
Do you have any additional recommendations or further settings I should check? Any guidance on potential conflicts between AMP, WP-Super Cache, and other plugins would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards

Hello,

Please disable the wp super cache because you need there a strong cache plugin, like WP ROCKET OR Litespeed cache.
As I said, please disable the AMP because it is deprecated and no longer used.
After you run to optimize the images, you need to use this to regenerate the thumbs -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbs-on-modules-and-blocks/ and use this option for blocks

Hello,

My website metrics have improved significantly, and I want to thank you for your help. However, I’m currently facing two issues:

Desktop Shows Mobile Layout

When I open the site in a desktop browser, it displays the mobile version/layout instead of the desktop version.
Images Loading Very Slowly

The images on my site take a very long time to load, or sometimes do not load at all.
Here is a screenshot for reference: https://prnt.sc/sW43dcdsPst7

I am using EWWW Image Optimizer and LiteSpeed Cache. Despite these optimizations, the images still load quite slowly, and the layout issue persists on desktop.

Any advice on how to resolve these problems would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi,

This usually happens with cache plugins. If the cache plugin does not have mobile support, the mobile version can be delivered instead. Please make sure that you have enabled the mobile cache -> https://imgur.com/Es7nHNh
Also, please enable this option for images https://app.screencast.com/jgmBlF7r2rXYw and disable this from the theme https://app.screencast.com/likCG4HWEVuFv

Thank you!
