Issues with Category Page Performance Optimization and Sticky Header

Hello @Kestutis,

We hope this message finds you well.

We would like to inform you that recent updates to our theme have included several enhancements aimed at improving CPU usage. However, if you are still experiencing performance issues, particularly with the loading of category pages, you may consider disabling certain features to evaluate their impact.

For instance, we have disabled the merging of JavaScript files on the frontend by adding the following snippet to the child theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter('etheme_elementor_force_load_global_assets', function($value, $in_preview) {
    return $in_preview;
}, 10, 2);

Additionally, we noticed that most of the options under Theme Options → Speed Optimization are currently inactive (please refer to the screenshot: https://prnt.sc/dmCpS36QfzVK). To enhance performance, we have applied the following settings: https://prnt.sc/WKMRZwL04XLc.

Following these adjustments, we observed improved results in the speed test for the specified URL. We encourage you to test the performance on your end as well.

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

Best regards,

Please accept our apologies for the delayed response, as our team was out of office over the weekend.

We have tested the sticky header functionality and did not encounter any issues during our review (check private content). Could you kindly clarify the specific problem you are experiencing, as well as the pages on which it occurs?

Additionally, we assessed the performance of your category page on a desktop device, and the results were excellent—nearly 100%. You may view the performance report here: https://prnt.sc/INeRMt_fsDEw.
