Dear @Organic Ecommerce Store,

We hope you are doing well.

We kindly suggest reviewing the following article to enhance your website’s speed:
(https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/troubleshooting/how-to-speed-up-my-website/).

If you prefer to use a third-party plugin for speed optimization, we recommend WP-Rocket. You can find detailed guidance on its configuration with XStore here:
(https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/troubleshooting/how-to-improve-wp-rocket-settings-with-xstore/).

Please note that website speed optimization falls outside the scope of our standard support services. However, if you require further assistance, we invite you to submit a request through our (https://www.8theme.com/account/#etheme_customization_panel). Kindly be advised that customization services may incur additional charges.

Should you have any further questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,
8Theme Team

Hello, Organic Ecommerce Store,

We’d like to update you on the speed and performance improvements in XStore.
Over the past few months, our team has focused heavily on optimizing theme performance. As evidence, our public optimised demo now scores 98+ on mobile and 100+ on desktop in PageSpeed tests—showing that XStore is fully tuned for speed.

https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-woocommerce-1476984-5641372-cloudwaysapps-com/dzka87l4hv?form_factor=mobile

However, we’ve identified another major factor affecting site responsiveness: bot traffic. On several client sites, automated bots have been generating large numbers of requests to dynamic filter URLs on the shop page over 50K requests per day. Even on powerful servers, this volume of repeated queries can cause noticeable slowdowns.

To help you investigate this, we’ll share detailed screenshots in the private support area showing bot-generated request patterns. You’ll see exactly why your server may be under strain.

What we’ve done so far:
• Reviewed and optimized all frontend assets (CSS/JS, images, lazy-loading).
• Improved our AJAX-filter endpoints to reduce query overhead.
• Hardened nofollow and other standard directives—though some bots still ignore them.

Our team continues to refine these protections. In the meantime, please verify whether bot traffic is impacting your site’s load.

Next steps:
1. Upgrade to XStore 9.5.1. This release includes all our latest speed optimizations and server-side performance enhancements. You can download the archive in the Downloads section on our website https://www.8theme.com/downloads/ or from your Downloads area on ThemeForest.
2. Deploy a bot-protection service.
To block 100% of unwanted crawlers, consider using Cloudflare (or a similar WAF) to filter malicious traffic before it reaches your server.

Thank you for your patience. If you have any questions or need help reviewing your server logs and request patterns, please let us know in the private support forum.

Best regards,
The XStore Team
