    Hi, I have a problem with my site, my xstore theme is making constant requests for files that don’t exist on the website, so here is a sample of this request below:

    0.009614 access(“/home/italia06/staging/1/wp-content/themes/xstore-child/woocommerce/add-to-wishlist.php”, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    0.000102 access(“/home/italia06/staging/1/wp-content/themes/xstore/woocommerce/add-to-wishlist.php”, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    0.000160 access(“/home/italia06/staging/1/wp-includes/theme-compat/woocommerce/add-to-wishlist.php”, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    0.000076 access(“/home/italia06/staging/1/wp-content/themes/xstore-child//add-to-wishlist.php”, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    0.000057 access(“/home/italia06/staging/1/wp-content/themes/xstore//add-to-wishlist.php”, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    0.000043 access(“/home/italia06/staging/1/wp-includes/theme-compat//add-to-wishlist.php”, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

    The theme is generating an extreme amount of such requests which is what is causing the loading of the website’s home page for a very long time and at the end. To confirm this, I changed the theme on the staging website to a default one and the problem was solved.

    How can I solve the problem permanently? Thanks

    Hello,

    When did you get these reports and in what logs? Describe in detail to allow us to reproduce the issue.
    Provide us Dashboard and FTP access to check and help you.

    The report was created by Siteground after an analysis.

    However on GTmetrix or pingdoom the loading time of the home page reaches 60/70 seconds with a 3mb page

    Please contact administrator

    Hello,

    You are using CDN. Please, login to your account http://prntscr.com/q07hy1 to allow us to flush the CDN cache if needed.
    Before this please contact plugin author and ask them to fix the missing image http://prntscr.com/q07kqt because it takes sometimes up to 24s to load that image http://prntscr.com/q07k0t before proceeding to next page elements
    Regards

    CLOUDFLARE account successfully activated. I have disabled the plugin that generates the error for the moment.

    Hello,

    1) We found one more plugin that caused loading error because of calling the wrong file from our XStore core plugin. It’s Bloom plugin https://prnt.sc/q07gtk
    The reason of the problem is that plugin author is using the same constant as we do. Our plugin slug is ‘et-core-plugin’ because it’s core plugin of 8theme for the XStore theme that’s why used ET_CORE_URL constant and we are sure that’s a good practice but their plugin slug is ‘bloom’ and we can’t understand why they are using the ET_CORE prefix for classes for bloom plugin that is not related with plugin name/slug in any way. We have submited email to plugin developers with the request to change the constat but did not get any reply. So, we disabled that plugin on your site to avoid missing file that increases the page loading.

    2) We have installed the cache plugin and compared shop page results with our theme and with the Storefront theme. Here are results
    a) Our theme with pingdom test tool https://tools.pingdom.com/#5ba9cc578a400000 – 1.97s http://prntscr.com/q29bex
    gtmetrix test tool https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.italiangriffe.eu/fZIJNKSz – 4.9s http://prntscr.com/q29c5c
    b) default WP theme Storefront with pingdom test tool https://tools.pingdom.com/#5ba9ca3d3e000000 – 1.29 s http://prntscr.com/q29cpw
    gtmetrix test tool https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.italiangriffe.eu/lUzy8xjI – 4.2s http://prntscr.com/q29d4f

    As you can see it’s not a very big difference of speed test between our theme and default theme.

    3) We did not find requests of missing files mentioned in the very first message.

    We are ready to give you refund if these results are not suitable for you and you prefer to choose another theme for your site.

    Regards

    Of course I understand, for the moment, thanks, I try to do further tests to speed things up. But can I ask you a hand to fix the theme newsletter popup especially as a mobile? Because from mobile you can see badly. Thanks, you are very kind

    Hi,

    Please use Header Builder, then you can enable Auto Width for Newsletter Popup https://prnt.sc/q2l9tw -> https://prnt.sc/q2l9w6
