Hello,

there is an issue with the Xstore Core plugin. When it’s enabled, the website’s performance becomes extremely slow, both in the WordPress dashboard for customizing and rendering pages, and in loading the pages in the browser for any visitor.

I’ve spoken with the server/hosting company, and they informed me that the problem is related to a specific installed plugin. To troubleshoot, I deactivated all the plugins and reactivated them one by one, and it appears that the Xstore Core plugin is causing the issue. When I deactivate it, the website functions correctly.

If we deactivate the Core plugin, half of the website’s functionality will not work. so please help us fix this issue ASAP because we need to go live tomorrow at any cost.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

We’ve attempted to optimize our website, but we’ve noticed that the pages using the xstore core widget are taking an excessive amount of time to load and are difficult to edit. We deactivated all other third-party plugins and found that everything was functioning properly, indicating that the xstore plugins (xstore core) are causing the issue. This is resulting in a loss of clients for us. Please investigate and resolve this issue with the plugin and work on optimizing our website.

Please contact administrator
for this information.

Dear Mohammed Abrar,

We have noticed that your website currently has a high number of active plugins. To enhance your site’s performance, we recommend deactivating any plugins that are not essential, retaining only those that are necessary for your operations.

Additionally, we suggest experimenting with the WP-Rocket plugin, which can significantly improve your site’s efficiency. You can find detailed guidance on optimizing WP-Rocket settings with XStore here: [WP-Rocket Settings with XStore](https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/troubleshooting/how-to-improve-wp-rocket-settings-with-xstore/).

Another excellent resource is the HummingBird Pro plugin, which becomes available upon upgrading to Smush Pro. For more information, please visit: [Hummingbird Performance Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/hummingbird-performance/).

We also recommend converting all your images to the WebP format, a feature available in Smush Pro, to further enhance your site’s loading speed.

Please note that website speed optimization falls outside the standard scope of support services we offer. For more details on what our support entails, please refer to the Envato privacy policy: https://themeforest.net/page/item_support_policy.

Should you require personalized customization services, we invite you to submit a request through our customization panel at the following link: https://www.8theme.com/account/#etheme_customization_panel. This will allow you to engage directly with our technical team.

Please note that customization services are subject to additional charges. The exact amount will be determined after a detailed review of your request.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,
The 8Theme Team.
