    Hello,

    Our site shows the following error on every page in browser console:

    GET https://enduratex.com/wp-content/themes/xstore/fonts/xstore-icons-light.woff?v=9.7.2 
    net::ERR_ABORTED 503 (Service Unavailable)
    GET https://enduratex.com/wp-content/themes/xstore/fonts/xstore-icons-light.woff2?v=9.7.2 
    net::ERR_ABORTED 503 (Service Unavailable)

    We gone through every possible debug action we could think of:
    – Disabled any security or firewall plugins
    – Clear all caches and disabled all caching
    – Verified the files exist in the back-end folder
    – Contacted our Hosting provider to find a cause

    I am including admin area and SFTP login credentials.
    Nothing seems to have any effect, and we can find no clear cause.

    Thank You

    Please, contact administrator
    for this information.

    Hello, Enduratex,

    The 503 Service Unavailable response for these font files does not indicate that the XStore font files are missing or incorrectly referenced. A 503 error means that the server is receiving the request but is temporarily unable to process it.

    Since you have already confirmed that:

    – The .woff and .woff2 files physically exist in /wp-content/themes/xstore/fonts/
    – Caching and security plugins have been disabled
    – The issue persists regardless of WordPress-level troubleshooting

    The most likely cause is server-side rather than theme-related.

    In practical terms, this suggests that something within the hosting environment is blocking or failing to deliver static font files, such as:

    – Web server or proxy configuration
    – CDN, WAF, or other security layers
    – Incorrect MIME or static file handling
    – Temporary upstream resource or service failure

    Because the response is 503 and not 404, the request is not failing due to a missing file path. The server is refusing or failing to deliver a file that does exist.

    Please ask your hosting provider to specifically inspect requests for:

    /wp-content/themes/xstore/fonts/xstore-icons-light.woff
    /wp-content/themes/xstore/fonts/xstore-icons-light.woff2

    and to check the following:

    – Server error logs at the exact time of the request
    – Nginx or Apache static file rules
    – Proxy, CDN, or firewall behavior for font files
    – MIME type handling for .woff and .woff2 files
    – Any rate limiting or upstream service failures returning a 503 response

    Best regards,
    8Theme Team
