That is true. Another common problem that Google has with Newspaper theme is the server 5xx-error. A lot of users have similar issues, if you check Themeforest comment section. Every site I’ve had with Newspaper theme have had 5xx-error, it took me a few hours to finally find a solution for it.

Just like you, I have same setups for all my sites – but the only ones that get errors in Webmaster console are the ones with Newspaper theme.

I found an article where someone asks Googles John Mueller about this specific question.

John Mueller (Google) reply:

“Okay. Now I don’t know, how what the specific page would be and where that might be coming from. What one of the things that sometimes happens is we need to be able to fetch the CSS files for these pages as well so that we can see what they look like. And sometimes we either don’t have enough time to do that for your pages, or your server is a bit slow, and we don’t have enough capacity to get that very quickly. And then the test might fail. So if we can’t get the CSS, then it might look like the page isn’t really mobile-friendly. And usually this is something that settles down over time and maybe you’ll see individual pages that fall into the state. But in general, that’s something I wouldn’t really worry about. If the page is really mobile-friendly, if for the most part other pages on your website are seen as mobile-friendly, then that would generally be fine. It might fluctuate a little bit. You might see that as a warning in Search Console but I wouldn’t worry too much about it if you’re really sure that everything else is lined up properly.”

So hopefully I will not have to abandon this theme. 🙂

I receive the same problem as well. This will affect Google rankings, so now I wonder if I am forced to change theme on all (5) of my sites with Newspaper theme.

The speed on my site is fine.

I’ve went into Google Webmaster Console now and “verified” that I have fixed the issue. Although, I haven’t done anything to fix it.
