How to Optimize WordPress Website to Increase Page Speed

Hello @whym,

After reviewing the active plugins on your website, we found that several of them are currently activated but could be safely removed:

– XStore Advanced Sticky Header – Since you are using the Elementor-based header builder, this plugin is unnecessary.
– XStore White Label Branding – Once you have configured your branding settings, this plugin can also be removed. More details are available in the documentation: https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/plugins/white-label-branding-plugin/

Regarding other plugins, please note that the required ones are automatically installed during the demo import process. In your case, these are “XStore Core”, “Elementor”, “Pro Elements”, and “WooCommerce”.

You also have the “Slider Revolution” plugin installed, but no slides have been created with it. However, its assets (scripts and styles) are still being loaded across your pages, which affects page loading speed. If you are not using this plugin, we recommend removing it.

We also noticed that you have installed the “WPCode Lite” plugin for creating custom snippets, but there are no active snippets (see: https://prnt.sc/wi7jGrnvaMBc). Therefore, this plugin can also be removed.

Since you are using our built-in “Archive Products Builder” with integrated functionality for Ajax product loading, there is no need to keep the “WooCommerce Infinite Scroll and Ajax Pagination” plugin, which is currently installed and activated. More information about our builder can be found here: https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/xstore-builders/xstore-products-archive-builder-with-elementor/

For the remaining plugins, please review their purpose and remove any that are not essential to your website’s functionality.

For detailed guidance on improving your website’s performance, please refer to our comprehensive optimization guide:

Hello @whym,

We are pleased to know that the information we provided about active plugins was helpful to you.

Regarding the speed optimization issues, we previously shared an article from our documentation that covers optimization recommendations. We noticed that you have the LiteSpeed plugin activated, but some configurations could be improved. For example, the browser cache is currently disabled, as shown in your Site Health section (https://prnt.sc/IERHzpUhjlF3), and the object cache setting is also disabled in your caching plugin (https://prnt.sc/d_hTWyaouGU_). These issues are also reflected in your Tools page (https://prnt.sc/wCgVTPHpl_7_). You can find more information about setting the Litespeed plugin settings in their documentation: https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lscache/noplugin/settings/. Also, you can submit your topic on their support forum on via chat on their web-site.

We recommend reviewing the following article for more information on resolving such issues: https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/performance/optimization/#caching. You will also find related articles there addressing other issues identified in your Site Health page, which may require adjustments on your server, in the .htaccess file, or in the wp-config file.

Please note that such optimizations are outside the scope of our support policy. We kindly ask you to review the referenced documentation, and if necessary, contact your hosting provider for further assistance.
