Hello, @buf,

Thank you for using our theme and for contacting us.

Website speed depends on various factors that we do not control. What we can do is share the links that can help you with speed optimization: https://xstore.helpscoutdocs.com/article/100-how-to-speed-up-my-website
Every additional plugin slows down the site a bit, so we would recommend you disable unrequired plugins.
Our demos use CDN and cache plugin (WP-Rocket).

We have conducted a thorough review of your website’s performance test across different devices. We are pleased to inform you that the site’s speed on desktop platforms is exemplary. However, we have observed that the mobile experience does not meet the same standard and can be considered suboptimal.

We recommend that you review the suggestions provided by Google PageSpeed Insights in the Top METRICS, accessible here: https://ibb.co/K7TWG4h & https://ibb.co/BCdDTNN

And how can I improve the render delay:

Render Delay
75%
6,790 ms

Because it is the main thing to be optimized according to the PageSpeed results and I don’t know how can I reduce it. I asume that it is because the mobile site has to adapt the image of the carousel to the size of the mobile site, but it is the same one that the desktop version. Maybe uploading different images to the mobile version?

For what I can see, it’s also a problem in your theme: https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-xstore-8theme-com-elementor2-sport/j56n1qg2o9?form_factor=mobile and my webpage it’s performing better than your example, but it is still a very poor one. We need to improve this for the SEO.

Again, thank in advance.

Hello, @buf,

Thank you for your response.

1/ We would be glad to help you with this issue, however, speed optimization is out of the scope of our support as website speed depends on various factors that we do not control.
Here are main factors and recommendations:
– Plugins. When you have multiple plugins installed and activated on your site, it can slow it down. So, please, keep enabled only those plugins that you really need for the correct functioning of your site and disable all the plugins that you don’t use. The more plugins you use, the slower it will be.
– Caching. The most important part of optimizing your site is caching. Combine cached page with gzip compression to get better results. Select cache plugin, then follow their documentation and contact their support to get assistance.
– Images. Use optimized images only otherwise you will have big images and a slow loading time. Do not upload larger images than what is needed.
There are different ways on how to compress images. Use special services or WordPress plugins to optimize your images for decreased loading times: tinypng.com for example https://prnt.sc/sVkQkCpO-gL3 , Compressor.io, Kraken.io, EWWW Image Optimizer, Smush Image Compression and Optimization plugin.
– Server/Hosting. Sometimes slow speed can be a result of your hosting service. If you have checked the above items and the site is still slow, most likely it is a server/hosting issue. Contact your host and discuss it with them. Because even with the default WP theme site speed could be slow.
– CDN. Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) CDNs can give an equally fast web experience to your users across the globe. We use CDN on our demos.

2/ Google Pagespeed (and now GTmetrix) always scores 20-50 points mobile performance for 99% of websites built with WordPress. However, our demos work very fast on mobile devices. We suggest you test it on a few mobile devices and you will see that there are no real performance problems.

We hope this information is helpful.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Our support team is always available to assist you.

Kind Regards,
8theme team
