I am trying to speed up my website as it is incredibly slow. So i have been running speed tests with GT Metrix and slowly working on fixing the issues it displays. But i am having trouble with the following items:

It seems that all of my issues are related to the xStore theme javascripts as well as the xStore Core required plugin. What can i do about this to speed up this part of the GT Metrixs report?

So i am wondering how to stop the xStore theme from calling for the Font Awesome stylesheets. I have turned off the Font Awesome option in the xStore customizer settings, as I have a Font Awesome Pro subscription so i am using the Elementor Pro built in integration for Font Awesome so that i can utilize my Pro subscription. So now, xStore is still pulling the Font Awesome CSS files from their server, and i also now have Elementor pulling the stylesheets aswell. So how can i stop the xStore theme from calling these stylesheets and loading them? I dont need the theme to load them as Elementor is loading them, so this is slowing down my site by repeating to load stylesheets already loaded.

I understand that the Paypal caching is off-site and i cant control that, as it is controlled by the PayPal servers.

So those are my 2 most important questions right now, any help or support would be great. Thank you.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

Take my apologies for the delay in answering.

1) Choose the cache plugin (W3 Total cache or WP Rocket or any other you like) and use the minify option for the HTML, CSS, JS files. Check the speed results. Try to combine files and check if this speeds up the site in your case. You can always find suggestions about cache plugin settings in the plugin documentation.

2) What is the main page builder on your site: WPBakery or Elementor? Choose one of them and disable another one because every additional plugin slows down the site. So, keep enabled only those plugins that you really use!

3) To find out why our theme calls the FA styles when you disabled the option we need WP Dashboard and FTP access to your site.

Regards

I only use Elementor, and ive never had WPBakery installed on my site. I have removed every single plugin that i can to cut back on overloading the server and database.

I will setup an account for you and reply with the details so you can investigate the font awesome issue. thanks.
