    Hello,

    We are having an issue with Elementor plugin, for some reason the website browsing is very bad, we tried disabling plugins one by one and we identified that once we disable Elementor plugin the website browsing is very good.

    Do you have any suggestions? We have tried to enable all features in Elementor for speed but no joy, issue still remains.

    Does the template is requiring Elementor to be installed?

    Looking forward hearing back from you.

    Regards

    Hello,

    Thanks for your reply, the identified cause of slow down is “Elementor” plugin it adds 4-5 seconds to page load time when we have it enabled.

    I’m asking, does XStore theme works without that plugin?

    Hello, @jimie,

    Thank you for your response.

    1/ The Kirki Customizer Framework plugin is currently activated on your website and it may conflict with our XStore Core plugin. To ensure seamless functionality and performance, we kindly recommend that you disable the Kirki plugin.

    Please be informed that the XStore Core plugin already encompasses the Kirki framework within its own codebase. To avoid any potential issues, it is advisable to deactivate the Kirki plugin while utilizing XStore.

    2/ Xstore theme required plugin are Elementor and Wp-bakery plugin. Please read our theme documentation here: https://xstore.helpscoutdocs.com/article/36-included-plugins

    3/ We suggest that you please temporarily deactivate all 3rd party plugins on your site except the required plugin and check again.

    We hope this helps. Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to help you.

    Hello,

    We’ve been digging more into this and it seems that actually the problem comes from the XStore theme itself, for example we’ve tried another WordPress theme based on Elementor too and the pages loads very fast with Elementor enabled,

    Can you please help us find out what exactly is wrong with the template?

    Hello

    We have tested this by disabling all extra plugins that we have and there is no change like improving speed, from what we can see the biggest issues rise on product detail page, could it be that the plugins you offer may require some queries optimizations ?
