hello, my website is running extremely slow on mobile,
I have turned off all xstore caching settings so they don’t conflict with W3 total cache. Please can you advise what else I can do
Also, on mobile, the header keeps reverting to the desktop version
Hello, @veryvivid20,
Thank you for choosing XStore as your WooCommerce WordPress theme.
1/ Website speed depends on various factors that we do not control. What we can do is share the links that can help you with speed optimization: https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/troubleshooting/how-to-speed-up-my-website/
Every additional plugin slows down the site a bit, so we would recommend you disable unrequired plugins.
We are writing to address the issue you have been experiencing with your website’s slow loading speed. After conducting a speed test on your website via GTmetrix https://gtmetrix.com/ , we have found that the performance is good. You may review the results at the following link:
We recommend that you review the suggestions provided by GTMetrix in the Top Issues list.
– Use any a Content Delivery Network (CDN), it can give an equally fast web experience to your users across the globe. We use CDN on our demos.
For further guidance on how to improve your website’s speed, Please contact your service provider and ask them to fix it and we invite you to review our theme documentation. The following links provide detailed information on this topic:

2. https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/troubleshooting/how-to-improve-wp-rocket-settings-with-xstore/
For a comprehensive understanding of the specific issues that may be affecting your website’s speed, we suggest conducting a website speed test with GTMetrix. This tool can provide you with actionable recommendations to further enhance your website’s performance.
2/ Google Pagespeed (and now GTmetrix) scores with 20-50 points mobile performance for 99% of websites built with WordPress. However, our demos work very fast on mobile devices. We suggest you test it on a few mobile devices and you will see that there are no real performance problems (it will be faster once a cache plugin is activated).
We trust that you will find this information useful in improving your website’s performance.
We trust that this guidance will be of assistance to you. Should you require any further support, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Hello, unfortunately, the website does not perform quick at all on mobile. please physically go on it yourself and you will see. main content pages seems to load quick, however, if I try to go onto a product category page. it is extremely slow. Takes a good few minutes to load
Hi @veryvivid20,
We’ve checked your website and it’s loading fast on our end: https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/28910216?key=7a90815e13d972cadf2260570f345de5
Please log out your admin account to check.
There are some widgets load via the lazyload feature of XSTore theme to reduce the loading time of website. If you would like to disable it, please try adding the following code under functions.php file locates in your child theme:
add_filter('etheme_ajaxify_elementor_widget', '__return_false');
add_filter('etheme_ajaxify_lazyload_widget', '__return_false');
add_filter('etheme_ajaxify_script', '__return_false');
add_filter('et_ajax_widgets', '__return_false');
Then add this custom CSS under XStore > Theme Options > Theme Custom CSS > Global CSS:
body.elementor-default:not([data-elementor-device-mode]) [class*=elementor-widget-et-]>.elementor-widget-container,
body.elementor-default:not([data-elementor-device-mode]) [class*=elementor-widget-etheme]>.elementor-widget-container,

thank you for your response. however your video shows desktop view.. I’m specifically on about on mobile if you can please check thoroughly the ticket
Dear @veryvivid20,
We would like to confirm that the loading times on mobile devices are indeed slower compared to the desktop version.
We recommend that you reach out to the WP-Rocket Support Team to ensure that the Mobile Cache is enabled and configured correctly. You can find more information and guidance on this matter by visiting the following link: https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/708-mobile-cache.
Please note that any issues related to third-party plugins should be directed to the respective plugin’s author for further assistance.
Thank you for your understanding.

The desktop site is now also extremely slow, this is most definitely an issue with the theme, all the plugins are here I have on multiple other sites which cause no issue at all, the only difference is the theme and needs resolving asap.
Please look at the attached for example, website is completely broken
Also, I’m not sure if it’s relevant, but the license doesn’t show my live domain connected since I went live. The domain should be hoghtontimber.co.uk – not sure if that makes a difference
Dear @veryvivid20,
We hope this message finds you well. We are contacting you regarding some PHP fatal errors associated with the WordPress Memory Limit that have been detected on your website.
To resolve these issues, we kindly request that you contact your hosting provider and discuss the following adjustments:
1. Upgrading the PHP version to 8.x.
2. Increasing the WordPress Memory Limit to the highest possible value.
For your convenience, we have included the relevant log file in the Private Content Area of our support portal.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.

I have completed all of this, however no improvement at all. Please can you help find a fix for this, it’s most certainly a theme issue at this point.

This doesn’t help at all though does it. I currently have a website that’s completely not functional at all. Due to a seriously heavy theme with too many bugs!
also, please answer my question above: “Also, I’m not sure if it’s relevant, but the license doesn’t show my live domain connected since I went live. The domain should be hoghtontimber.co.uk – not sure if that makes a difference”
Hello, @veryvivid20,
1/ We’ve checked your https://hog*****imber.co.uk/ and it works. What exactly site doesn’t work with our theme?
2/ Please go to your live domain > XStore Welcome tab > unregister license https://prnt.sc/SJv6bDJvFETA and register again, then the info about activations will be updated on your account page.

The issue I am having is the slowness of the site (more so on mobile, but also on desktop), critical errors when going onto product categories, and general poor functionality of the theme
Dear @veryvivid20,
We appreciate your prompt response.
There is a critical error on your site. Please provide us with FTP access.
For FTP access, we require the following details: FTP host, FTP username, FTP password, FTP port, and FTP encryption type. If you need assistance in creating these credentials, please reach out to your hosting provider who will guide you through the process.
Also, contact your hosting provider and ask to downgrade the PHP version to 8.1 or 8.2.
Best Regards,
8Theme’s Team
Hello, the site has been downgraded to PHP version 8.1.29
I have included FTP access for you in the private content area
Thank you in advance
Dear @veryvivid20,
We hope this message finds you well. Following our recent analysis of your website, we have activated debugging mode and identified that the primary cause of the slowdown and fatal errors on your category pages is related to your server settings. You can review the specific issues here: https://prnt.sc/We7TcqrncpFS.
We recommend that you promptly contact your hosting provider to verify these settings and discuss potential enhancements to the server properties. It appears that the constants defined in your wp-config file are being overridden or simply ignored [https://prnt.sc/hjzAtEEYvS3h], as evidenced by the discrepancies in the values obtained from different sources:
– XStore system checker: https://prnt.sc/qaJAfrAwKQcE
– WooCommerce: https://prnt.sc/69hT2bPhsW3A
– Elementor: https://prnt.sc/vqNpWLudqvPu
Additionally, we urge you to revisit the article on website speed optimization that we previously recommended: https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/troubleshooting/how-to-speed-up-my-website/. Our review indicates that several suggested improvements (~70%) have not yet been implemented on your site.
Addressing these issues will significantly enhance your website’s performance and user experience. Should you require further assistance or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I can confirm my hosting have upped the memory to 2048M
and I can absolutely clarify that more than 70% of those recommendations have been done, all images are compressed, I have paid for WP Rocket, and still getting errors even after all of this
For example, click this category from the main menu is extremely slow, and often flags critical error – https://hoghtontimber.co.uk/product-category/skirting-architrave/
The site is also taking up 17GB of disk space.. the site isn’t even big in comparison to others I have, so something is causing that extreme size
Dear @veryvivid20,
I hope this message finds you well.
We are pleased to inform you that we have conducted thorough testing of your website across various devices utilized by our support managers. We are happy to report that there are no critical errors at present, and the loading speed has significantly improved.
Could you kindly verify these improvements from your end? Additionally, if you encounter any specific issues, please provide us with a detailed description so we can address them promptly.
Thank you for your cooperation.

The speed is still shocking, I have provided a screen recording here..
I’m sure you can appreciate that load speed is unacceptable
Dear @veryvivid20,
I hope this message finds you well. Upon reviewing several URLs on your website, we have identified a 502 Bad Gateway error, as evidenced in the screenshot here: https://prnt.sc/u_2l7BkMqJLg. This issue typically points to a server configuration problem rather than a theme-related issue.
For more detailed information on this error and possible solutions, please refer to the following article: [https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/502-bad-gateway].
We kindly urge you to contact your hosting provider as previously suggested. They are well-equipped to resolve this issue promptly.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.

It’s the website in particular which is causing issues with the server. Please see screenshot, why is the admin-ajax and wp-cron view extremely high? Most certainly a theme issue
Please be aware that this website hasn’t been advertised or pushed out to customers yet, so these views are not real at all, which suggests an issue
Hello, veryvivid20,
I hope this message finds you well.
Regarding your query about WP-Cron, I would like to inform you that neither our theme nor any plugins utilize WP-Cron in any capacity.
As for the AJAX requests, it is true that some of them originate from our theme. Primarily, these are related to the filters on the shop page, wishlist, compare list, and the quick view of products. However, there should not be an excessive number of these requests. If possible, we kindly ask you to track these requests. Additionally, it would be beneficial to monitor the requests related to WP-Cron.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you require further assistance or have any more inquiries.
