    Hello Nicolo,

    Thank you for reaching out to us with your queries regarding the optimization of your webshop using the XStore theme.

    To enhance the speed of your webshop, we recommend the following strategies:

    1. **Optimization Plugins**: Utilizing plugins specifically designed for speed optimization can significantly improve your site’s performance. We suggest using plugins like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache. These plugins offer various features that can help compress and cache your site, making it faster.

    2. **Image Optimization**: Images often account for most of the downloaded bytes on a web page. Using tools like Smush or ShortPixel, you can compress your images without losing quality, which in turn, speeds up the loading time.

    3. **Clean and Optimize Database**: Over time, your WordPress database can accumulate unnecessary data. Using a plugin like WP-Optimize can help clean up your database by removing stale post revisions, spam comments, and other disposable data.

    Regarding hosting, the choice of hosting can dramatically affect your site’s speed and reliability. For the XStore theme, we recommend using a managed WordPress hosting provider that offers dedicated resources and advanced caching options. Some of the well-regarded hosting providers in this category include WP Engine, SiteGround, and Kinsta. These hosts are known for their robust performance and excellent customer support tailored for WordPress-based shops.
