Hello, @Mike Papadakis,

Thank you for contacting us and for using XStore.

1. Ajax search result depends on server response time and DB structure. Theme sends requests to your DB and waiting for response. So, if it’s slow then try to speed up the server response time. We can do nothing with it.

2. We have recently conducted a performance review of your website using GTMetrix. Unfortunately, the results indicate that your site’s performance is currently at 49%. You can view the detailed results at the following link: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/zhta.gr/2QNmrUGy/

We strongly recommend addressing the top issues identified in the audit, as these are significantly impacting your website’s performance. You can view these issues here: https://imgur.com/AcxCRLl

To speed up the search.
1) Disable all the plugins that you don’t use. Every additional plugin slows down the site.
2) Use cache plugin (Wp- Rocket)
3) Reduce the server response time
4) Make sure that DB structure is optimized.

To enhance your page speed, we suggest utilizing a Content Delivery Network (CDN) service.

We also recommend reviewing our theme documentation for further guidance on how to improve your website’s speed. You can access this information at the following links: https://xstore.helpscoutdocs.com/article/100-how-to-speed-up-my-website & https://xstore.helpscoutdocs.com/article/128-how-to-improve-wp-rocket-settings-with-xstore

For a more comprehensive understanding of the specific issues slowing down your website, we advise running a website speed test with GTMetrix. This tool can provide you with actionable recommendations to help you enhance your website’s performance.

We hope this information is helpful.

Best Regards,
8Theme’s Team.
