Hi guys! I just bought your theme Newspaper 9 and installed your tech demo. Also I installed WP Super Cache and set it up in accordance with your instruction: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/. Please, note that the backend interface of this plugin has changed and your instruction is not up-to-date(. Update your instruction ASAP, please.
The pingdom (London location) load speedtest of my original website: wilhard.ru is 2 seconds. The load speed of your demo on the same webhosting is 4 seconds (dev.wilhard.ru).
Also, please, check your the pagespeed of your demo website with Newspaper 9 –
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdemo.tagdiv.com%2Fnewspaper%2F
Even your demo (https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/) is not optimized for speed and very very slow(((.
I read your article how to make the site faster (https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/).
This article is written for those who doesn’t understand anything in development.
Guys, I like your theme and want to use it. Please, stop making exuses and stop telling us to hire a webdeveloper and optimize your theme for speed. It’s your job!
Optimize the empty demo theme so that it will give us 1 second load speed with a good webhosting. Please…
Please, do it ASAP. In 2-3 days. Optimize all your demo themes and show us it through Google Pagespeed (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdemo.tagdiv.com%2Fnewspaper%2F&tab=desktop)
Thank you in advance.
Hope for your understanding…
Hi,
We are aware of the decreasing performance in the theme. There are plans to optimize the theme in the coming updates. There will be somewhat major modifications made which will have a direct impact on performance.
After the previous theme updates we have reached the point where these modifications will be possible to implement.
I can’t say if this will happen in the next 2-3 days, it will happen as soon as possible however. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Thank you!
Also, I am facing the issue:
When someone visits my website: http://wpmediamasters.com instead of redirecting to https://www.wpmediamasters.com it 1st redirect to http://www.wpmediamasters.com and then to https://www.wpmediamasters.com
So the sequence is http://wpmediamasters.com to http://www.wpmediamasters.com to https://www.wpmediamasters.com
So this is increasing the load time on the website.
I have disabled all the plugins and checked still the redirection is same.
Thank you
Hi,
I accessed your website with this link – http://wpmediamasters.com I am then redirected to this URL – https://www.screencast.com/t/YM2Ww7XXA
So that would be how it should work. But I also checked with a redirect tracker tool, with these results
– https://www.screencast.com/t/LiLU0olF8f
So that is just as you say, but note that the theme does not have any redirecting settings for the website. Maybe check you htaccess file for those 301 redirects, also contact your hosting provider and mention this to them.
Thanks
Dear sirs, performance of the mobile version of your demo website is still not good:
When are you going to fix it?
There are plans to make modifications in the theme for increased performance overall. For mobile speed you could use the mobile theme which is specifically made for mobiles. This demo has the mobile theme active
– https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdemo.tagdiv.com%2Fnewspaper_local_news%2F&tab=mobile
I found it – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/. Thank you!
But… It doesn’t work: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tagdiv-mobile-theme-plugin-disabled-automatically/
Each theme version package will contain the theme plugins that will work only with that version. So for example if you use an older theme version, trying to install the latest mobile theme plugin will not work.
Either update the theme, or contact us by email as mentioned, so we can provide an older plugin version. Please specify in the email what theme version you are using.
