    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your Instagram integration. In most cases, Instagram tokens can expire or become invalid due to changes in account permissions or security settings. You are correct that Facebook typically provides a single token per app, but it is possible to regenerate or extend the token through the Facebook Developer portal.

    We recommend the following steps:

    1. Log in to your Facebook Developer account.
    2. Navigate to the app connected to your Instagram account.
    3. Go to the Access Token Tool and check the status of your current token.
    4. If needed, generate a new token or extend the existing one.

    Please ensure that all necessary permissions are granted and that your Instagram account is properly connected to your Facebook page.

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Yes, it is possible to customize the page so that when customers click on the “Join now” button, the class is added directly to the cart as a product. This would require linking the button to a specific product and ensuring the correct settings are applied within your WooCommerce and theme configuration.

    If you are using Elementor, you can edit the button and set its link to the product’s “Add to Cart” URL or use the “Add to Cart” widget – https://xstore.8theme.com/elementor/demos/minimal-fashion02/add-to-cart-element/
    Alternatively, you may consider using a plugin or custom code to achieve a more seamless integration, depending on your specific requirements.

    We hope this information is helpful.

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    We recommend that you disable all third-party plugins that are not included with XStore (https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/plugins/included-plugins/). After doing so, please clear your browser’s cache and check again. It is possible that one of these additional plugins is causing the issue.

    If the problem persists, we suggest switching to the Parent theme if you are currently using the Child Theme on your site. After clearing the cache, check again.
    The issue may be due to your custom code in the Child Theme.

    Let us know the results.

    Hello,

    We’re sharing an update on XStore’s latest speed optimizations and how they impact your site’s performance.

    Our dev team has worked intensively to streamline the theme. This has led to our optimized demo scoring above 98 for mobile and 100 for desktop in PageSpeed benchmarks — evidence of robust performance enhancements.

    https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-woocommerce-1476984-5641372-cloudwaysapps-com/dzka87l4hv?form_factor=mobile

    One performance concern remains: bot-generated traffic. On various user sites, bots have been issuing tens of thousands of requests daily to filter URLs, causing noticeable delays even on solid hosting plans.

    To better illustrate the impact, we’ll upload traffic snapshots in the support center, showing how bots are affecting your website.

    Here’s what we’ve optimized so far:
    • Frontend cleanup — minimized scripts, optimized images, lazy load mechanisms.
    • Backend improvements to filter handling via AJAX.
    • Added anti-bot tags and guidelines — although not all crawlers adhere to them.

    We’re continuing to harden protections. For now, we recommend checking your traffic logs.

    Next steps:

    Download and install XStore 9.5.1, which includes all recent fixes and enhancements: Get it here or from ThemeForest.

    Set up bot protection via Cloudflare or any other trusted WAF provider.

    Thank you for your patience. If you have any questions or need help reviewing your server logs and request patterns, please let us know in the private support forum.

    The 8Theme Team

    Hello,

    We’re reaching out to let you know about some recent performance improvements in XStore.

    In recent development cycles, our team has zeroed in on increasing the speed and efficiency of the theme. The public demo now delivers PageSpeed scores above 98 on mobile and a full 100 on desktop—clear proof of optimized performance.

    🔗 Test results link https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-woocommerce-1476984-5641372-cloudwaysapps-com/dzka87l4hv?form_factor=mobile

    That being said, another challenge has emerged: heavy bot traffic. On some websites, automated bots are making thousands of repetitive calls to shop filter URLs, with daily totals sometimes above 50K. This can bog down server resources significantly.

    We’ll be posting screenshots within your support area to illustrate the behavior and provide clarity on the impact.

    What we’ve implemented:
    • Frontend resource optimization (CSS, JavaScript, image compression, lazy load).
    • Improved the way AJAX filters communicate with the server.
    • Refined meta tag usage and bot directives — though some bots bypass them.

    We’re still working on refining our defenses. Until then, check to see if automated traffic might be hurting your site’s loading time.

    Recommended steps:

    Install version 9.5.1 of XStore to benefit from all updates. You can download it via our website or from ThemeForest.

    Use a bot filtering solution.
    Cloudflare and similar WAF platforms can proactively block suspicious activity before it reaches your hosting.

    Thank you for your patience. If you have any questions or need help reviewing your server logs and request patterns, please let us know in the private support forum.

    Hello,

    We’re excited to share updates about XStore’s improved speed and site performance.

    Our dev team has been working diligently on backend and frontend enhancements over the past few months. Thanks to this effort, our optimized demo site now scores 98+ on mobile and a perfect 100 on desktop in PageSpeed tests.

    🔗 View results – https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-woocommerce-1476984-5641372-cloudwaysapps-com/dzka87l4hv?form_factor=mobile

    That said, we’ve uncovered a secondary issue slowing some websites: automated bots. On a number of user sites, these bots repeatedly access dynamic product filter URLs, often exceeding 50,000 queries per day — placing strain on even the most capable servers.

    To support you, we’ll upload screenshots to your private support area, giving you a detailed view of the traffic in question.

    What has been done:
    • Streamlined all frontend resources (CSS, JavaScript, media files).
    • Upgraded our AJAX filters to reduce load during user interaction.
    • Applied crawler-restriction protocols, though not all bots comply.

    We are continually improving security and efficiency. In the meantime, please review whether automated traffic is degrading your site speed.

    Action items:

    Upgrade to version 9.5.1 — it contains all recent speed and performance improvements. Find it in our download section or on ThemeForest.

    Activate bot protection tools.
    Using services like Cloudflare helps stop unwanted crawlers before they reach your server.

    Thank you for your patience. If you have any questions or need help reviewing your server logs and request patterns, please let us know in the private support forum.

    Hello,

    We want to provide a quick update regarding recent upgrades to XStore’s performance and speed.

    Lately, our team has placed a strong emphasis on optimizing how XStore runs. As a result, our fine-tuned demo now achieves 98+ scores for mobile and over 100 on desktop according to Google PageSpeed, proving that the theme is now more efficient than ever.

    PageSpeed Insights link – https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-woocommerce-1476984-5641372-cloudwaysapps-com/dzka87l4hv?form_factor=mobile

    But we’ve also found a recurring issue: bots. On multiple sites, automated systems have been hitting dynamic shop filters thousands of times each day—often over 50,000 requests. This overload can affect responsiveness, even on high-spec servers.

    We’ll be posting screenshots in the private support zone to help you identify the signs of this behavior and understand its effect on your system.

    What we’ve improved so far:
    • Optimized frontend delivery (CSS/JS), image handling, and lazy-loading behavior.
    • Reduced pressure on the server through AJAX filter updates.
    • Strengthened anti-bot directives — though some bots ignore them regardless.

    Further enhancements are in development. Meanwhile, check whether such traffic might be slowing your site.

    Next steps to follow:

    Install version 9.5.1 of XStore for full access to all recent upgrades — available in the Downloads area or on ThemeForest.

    Set up advanced bot-blocking mechanisms.
    A WAF service like Cloudflare can help eliminate this issue by filtering bad actors early.

    If you need support analyzing server logs or request types, our private forum is open for assistance.

    🔗 Speed Test Results – https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-woocommerce-1476984-5641372-cloudwaysapps-com/dzka87l4hv?form_factor=mobile

    That said, we’ve uncovered a significant bottleneck: automated bot traffic. On several customer websites, bots are hammering shop filter URLs with over 50,000 requests daily. This volume is enough to slow down even optimized servers.

    To aid your diagnosis, we’ll be sharing detailed screenshots privately, helping you visualize the traffic and its origin.

    Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far:
    • Optimization of all frontend components — styles, scripts, images, and lazy loading features.
    • Reduced server query strain via improved AJAX endpoints.
    • Applied stricter nofollow and crawler directives, though some bots bypass them.

    We continue to iterate on our protective systems. Please assess if bot-related traffic is impacting your site’s speed.

    Next recommendations:

    Install the latest XStore 9.5.1 release from the official downloads or ThemeForest.

    Consider enabling bot protection tools.
    Cloudflare is an effective option to pre-filter harmful traffic before it reaches your hosting environment.

    Hello,

    Here’s a quick update on recent performance and speed enhancements in XStore.

    Our developers have spent recent months focused on boosting the theme’s performance. The optimized demo now earns scores of 98+ for mobile and a full 100 for desktop on PageSpeed, confirming that XStore is highly optimized for speed.

    🔗 PageSpeed Test Report – https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-woocommerce-1476984-5641372-cloudwaysapps-com/dzka87l4hv?form_factor=mobile

    However, we’ve identified that bot-generated traffic plays a significant role in reducing performance. On several installations, bots have been flooding the shop page with tens of thousands of filter requests daily—sometimes exceeding 50,000. This overload can hinder even high-performance servers.

    To clarify this further, we will provide evidence through screenshots in our private support section, showing exactly how bots are targeting your site.

    What we’ve implemented:
    • Optimized assets across the board — scripts, stylesheets, images, and loading behaviors.
    • Enhanced AJAX filter endpoints to reduce processing strain.
    • Strengthened bot-mitigation protocols, although not all bots comply.

    We’re continuing to refine these solutions. For now, we recommend checking your logs to see if this is affecting you.

    Recommended steps:

    Move to version 9.5.1 of XStore, which includes all enhancements. Download it here or via ThemeForest.

    Set up bot protection software.
    Using Cloudflare or a similar WAF can stop harmful crawlers before they slow your server down.

    Hello,

    We want to keep you informed about the latest developments regarding XStore’s performance upgrades.

    Over the last few months, our team has concentrated on refining the theme’s speed and responsiveness. As a result, our publicly optimized demo now scores over 98 on mobile and 100 on desktop in Google PageSpeed Insights—showcasing XStore’s high performance.

    🔗 View PageSpeed Results – https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-woocommerce-1476984-5641372-cloudwaysapps-com/dzka87l4hv?form_factor=mobile

    Despite this, we discovered another major influence on site performance: excessive bot activity. On some customer websites, automated bots have been repeatedly pinging dynamic shop page filter URLs—generating more than 50,000 hits per day. Even strong servers may slow down under such load.

    To help you investigate, we’ll share screenshots via our private support portal that demonstrate this traffic pattern, helping you understand the potential strain on your hosting.

    What’s already been addressed:
    • Refined frontend code (CSS/JS), optimized images, and implemented lazy loading.
    • Streamlined AJAX filters to cut down server-side processing.
    • Tightened bot control directives, though some crawlers bypass these.

    We’re actively strengthening these defenses. Meanwhile, please evaluate if bots are affecting your site’s loading speed.

    Next actions:

    Install XStore version 9.5.1 — featuring all recent speed improvements. It’s available via our official download page or your ThemeForest dashboard.

    Activate bot filtering.
    We advise using a service like Cloudflare to intercept malicious requests before they reach your infrastructure.

    Hello,

    We’d like to inform you about the recent enhancements we’ve made to XStore’s speed and overall performance.

    In recent months, our development team has dedicated significant effort to fine-tuning the theme’s efficiency. As proof, our optimized public demo now achieves scores of 98+ on mobile and over 100 on desktop in Google PageSpeed tests — a clear indication that XStore is engineered for exceptional speed.

    🔗 PageSpeed test link – https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-woocommerce-1476984-5641372-cloudwaysapps-com/dzka87l4hv?form_factor=mobile

    That said, we’ve also identified a major performance bottleneck: automated bot traffic. Several client websites have seen bots sending tens of thousands of requests to dynamic filtering URLs on the shop page — exceeding 50,000 requests per day in some cases. Even robust hosting solutions can struggle under such repeated traffic, leading to slowdowns.

    To assist you in analyzing this issue, we’ll provide screenshots in the private support area that detail how these bots are interacting with your site. This will give you a clearer picture of why your server might be under pressure.

    Here’s what we’ve done so far:
    • Conducted a thorough audit and optimization of all frontend resources (CSS, JavaScript, imagery, lazy loading).
    • Enhanced our AJAX filtering mechanisms to reduce server query load.
    • Strengthened nofollow and similar meta directives — though not all bots respect them.

    We are continuing to enhance these protective measures. In the meantime, please assess whether bot activity could be affecting your site’s responsiveness.

    Next recommended steps:

    Update to XStore 9.5.1 — the latest release that includes comprehensive frontend and backend performance upgrades. Download it via the Downloads section of our site or from your ThemeForest account.

    Set up bot protection.
    We suggest implementing a WAF solution like Cloudflare to completely block harmful crawler traffic before it hits your server.

    Thank you for your continued support.

    Hello,

    We’d like to update you on the speed and performance improvements in XStore.
    Over the past few months, our team has focused heavily on optimizing theme performance. As evidence, our public optimised demo now scores 98+ on mobile and 100+ on desktop in PageSpeed tests—showing that XStore is fully tuned for speed.

    https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-woocommerce-1476984-5641372-cloudwaysapps-com/dzka87l4hv?form_factor=mobile

    However, we’ve identified another major factor affecting site responsiveness: bot traffic. On several client sites, automated bots have been generating large numbers of requests to dynamic filter URLs on the shop page over 50K requests per day. Even on powerful servers, this volume of repeated queries can cause noticeable slowdowns.

    To help you investigate this, we’ll share detailed screenshots in the private support area showing bot-generated request patterns. You’ll see exactly why your server may be under strain.

    What we’ve done so far:
    • Reviewed and optimized all frontend assets (CSS/JS, images, lazy-loading).
    • Improved our AJAX-filter endpoints to reduce query overhead.
    • Hardened nofollow and other standard directives—though some bots still ignore them.

    Our team continues to refine these protections. In the meantime, please verify whether bot traffic is impacting your site’s load.

    Next steps:
    1. Upgrade to XStore 9.5.1. This release includes all our latest speed optimizations and server-side performance enhancements. You can download the archive in the Downloads section on our website https://www.8theme.com/downloads/ or from your Downloads area on ThemeForest.
    2. Deploy a bot-protection service.

    Hello,

    We’d like to update you on the speed and performance improvements in XStore.
    Over the past few months, our team has focused heavily on optimizing theme performance. As evidence, our public optimised demo now scores 98+ on mobile and 100+ on desktop in PageSpeed tests—showing that XStore is fully tuned for speed.

    However, we’ve identified another major factor affecting site responsiveness: bot traffic. On several client sites, automated bots have been generating large numbers of requests to dynamic filter URLs on the shop page over 50K requests per day. Even on powerful servers, this volume of repeated queries can cause noticeable slowdowns.

    To help you investigate this, we’ll share detailed screenshots in the private support area showing bot-generated request patterns. You’ll see exactly why your server may be under strain.

    What we’ve done so far:
    • Reviewed and optimized all frontend assets (CSS/JS, images, lazy-loading).
    • Improved our AJAX-filter endpoints to reduce query overhead.
    • Hardened nofollow and other standard directives—though some bots still ignore them.

    Our team continues to refine these protections. In the meantime, please verify whether bot traffic is impacting your site’s load.

    Next steps:
    1. Upgrade to XStore 9.5.1. This release includes all our latest speed optimizations and server-side performance enhancements. You can download the archive in the Downloads section on our website https://www.8theme.com/downloads/ or from your Downloads area on ThemeForest.
    2. Deploy a bot-protection service.

    Thank you for your patience. If you have any questions or need help reviewing your server logs and request patterns, please let us know in the private support forum.
