Hello XStore support.

I purchased XStore few months ago.
When I first activate the theme I had about 600 products on my site.
It was working wonderfully fast.
Now, I’m 95% done with my design and I added about 20 more products.

Speed has dramatically change! It’s extremely slow. And if you think that my site is multivendor, this is a clear disaster for me. We are about to add at least 2000 more until Christmas.

I have already checked some other topics but I didn’t get the answers I needed.

The strange thing though, is that I run the speed test on my server and within 5-10 minutes I got so deferend numbers that I really don’t know what to believe.

See screenshot.

Thank you.

Dear Niki,

We hope this message finds you well. Upon reviewing your website, we have observed that the homepage contains a high number of images, which is contributing to slower loading times. To enhance your website’s performance, we would like to suggest the following optimizations:

1. **Image Compression**: Consider using an image compression plugin such as Imagify or Smush to reduce file sizes without compromising quality.

2. **Font Optimization**: To improve font loading times, we recommend preloading third-party fonts or hosting them locally. You can achieve this by using plugins like the one available at:
– [Host Webfonts Locally](https://wordpress.org/plugins/host-webfonts-local/)

Additionally, here are some direct links to fonts that you might consider hosting locally:
– [Raleway Font](https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/raleway/v34/1Ptug8zYS_SKggPNyC0IT4ttDfA.woff2)
– [Gentium Basic Font](https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/gentiumbasic/v18/Wnz9HAw9aB_JD2VGQVR80We3LA2JjhA8YII.woff)
– [Nunito Font](https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/nunito/v26/XRXV3I6Li01BKofINeaBTMnFcQ.woff2)
– [Additional Raleway Font from MailerLite](https://fonts.mailerlite.com/fonts/s/raleway/v34/1Ptug8zYS_SKggPNyC0IT4ttDfA.woff2)
– …and others as needed.

3. **JavaScript Execution Delay**: We suggest considering the WP-Rocket plugin, which includes a feature to delay the execution of JavaScript. This can significantly improve loading times. For optimal settings with WP-Rocket, please refer to:
– [Improving WP-Rocket Settings with XStore](https://www.8theme.com/documentation/documentation/troubleshooting/how-to-improve-wp-rocket-settings-with-xstore/)

We trust these recommendations will assist in enhancing the performance of your website. Should you need further assistance or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,
8Theme’s Team
