Ads Manager 2 by Siropu [Paid] 2.5.7

[Siropu]

The banners loaded through this system cause the "Largest Contentful Paint" to spike to 7.5 seconds in Google’s website test.

How big are they that it takes that long to load?

Lazy loading is enabled!

Are you using image lazy load or the other option?

Yes it is - Enable image lazy loading

There are different banners, first one where I made the speed test the banner is only 16Kbyte which shouldn't be to much, the second one I can imagine is too big, it is 230 Kbyte - but the result is the same which I also find strange.

Does it make sense to convert animated GIF banners to another format, such as a video format (if so, which one), to use in AD Manager instead? Are such formats supported for upload?

 

[Siropu]

Yes it is - Enable image lazy loading

Try "Enable lazy loading" option instead. This will load the ad after the page loads.

mp4 is supported and could make the file smaller.

When changing to lazy loading the banner goes to the right rather than be centered?

I tried to se the "alignment" to center but it is ignored?

Unfortunately, when I switch to lazy loading, Google Ads are no longer displayed. What could be the reason for this, @Siropu?

Are you using a package? If so, are you making the changes in the ad or in the package?

With adsense, I think you need the container to have a height and width in order to work. Try setting a min-height in the inline style on a fixed size.

on a fixed size

I don't use fixed sizes with Google AdSense, but only responsive formats so that the sizes are adjusted on desktop and mobile phones. That's why I've only set a max-height in some cases.

Does that mean that with responsive Google Ads the checkbox for "Enable (image) lazy loading" is generally ignored? I think that worked in the past.

That only works with images.

Yep, worked on the past. Right now my forums have no ad revenue because of this.

 

[Siropu]

Yep, worked on the past.

"Image lazy loading" never worked with adsense. It is designed to work with images. Are you talking about the "Lazy loading" with refresh interval option?

My settings before and current XF 2.3.4 Adsml 1.3.3 change. Adsence code is the same.

Hello, thank you for this awesome plugin @Siropu .
How can we show Ads Manager navigation to visitors?
And I want visitors to see the packages tab. But when they click on the create ad button, they should be forced to log in.

Thank you.

I found the solution.
If you set the unregistered members group settings like this, it will be as I said.

Something has changed with the update from 2.4.20 to 2.5.4 in terms of lazy loading.

I have integrated a Google Adsense ad below every 5th post (data-ad-format="auto"). Previously, the ad was loaded using lazy loading ("Refresh every 0 seconds"). This is no longer possible. As a result, the side anchor no longer work properly. So if you click on the first unread post, you initially get to the right position. But then the upper (not visible) ads on the page load, and the page shifts and you are no longer on the right position (the first unread post). This is very annoying and the first visitors are already complaining about it.

As I said: I didn't have these problems before the update to 2.5.4. The Google AdSense code is unchanged and so are all other ad settings. Could you please check this again?

100% correct. All my non image AdSense Lazy Load enabled ads worked before the change from 2.2.16 to 2.3.4 as did yours. Google ad service did not change.

If you're using the Popup ad option for guests, there doesn't seem to be a way to limit it. In other words, even after the "X" is clicked to close the ad, it still displays on every page load. Is this the intended functionality?

 

[Siropu]

Is this the intended functionality?

Yes. You can use "Display every x minutes" setting to limit how many times it is shown.

Could you please check this again?

In XF 2.3 the only thing that has changed is moving from Jquery to pure JS. Lazy loading loads the ads when the ad is in view and this hasn't changed from 2.2.x. I can add an option to load all ads on page load instead.

 

[twollert]

You could try that. If that means the page anchors (e.g. for the first unread post) work again, that would of course be fantastic.

Hello, I can’t get keywords to work with a page node that has info in html (the page is a ranking list and the table is done with html)

Is that intended or am I doing something wrong?

Issue getting ads to show on all resource manager pages/templates. XF 2.3.4, RM 2.3.4, Ads Manager 2.5.4.

I'm assuming that most Global positions, for instance "Below top breadcrumb" and "Above bottom breadcrumb", are also intended to show on all resource manager pages. This is not happening, at least for me.

The only resource manager pages these Global ad positions are displaying on is category_view all other pages/templates there are no ads shown: xfrm_overview, xfrm_resource_view, xfrm_resource_updates, xfrm_resource_history, thread_view_type_resource. This is slightly odd because they all appear to use the PAGE_CONTAINER template where your template mods exist.
