Slow AJAX filtering on archive product page

Hello, Akmal,

We hope this message finds you well.

Add to Cart button slow: We would like to kindly bring to your attention that the speed of AJAX operations—such as adding or updating items in the cart, refreshing the cart/checkout form, and filtering products—is directly influenced by your server’s response time and the structure of your database. Our theme sends requests to your database and waits for a response. If the response time is slower than expected, we recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to explore potential improvements in server performance, as this aspect falls outside the scope of our control.

Regarding your inquiry about improving the performance of the ajax add to cart action, we would like to inform you that while W3 Total Cache (W3TC) https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/ is an excellent plugin for enhancing overall site performance. Ajax-based features typically rely on real-time data fetching, which is not easily cached through standard page caching methods.

However, below there are a few steps you can try to optimize the performance of the Ajax search(we can’t guarantee it will work 100%):

1. Enable Object and Database Caching in W3TC – This can help reduce the load time of repeated queries.
2. Minimize the number of results returned – You can limit the number of search results displayed to improve response time.
3. Optimize your database – Regularly clean up and optimize your database to ensure faster query execution.
4. Use a CDN – Serving static assets through a Content Delivery Network can reduce server load and improve overall performance.

If you are experiencing noticeable delays, we also recommend checking for any third-party plugin conflicts or custom code that may be affecting the search functionality.

Best Regards,
