Hi Abhinandan,
Sure, to improve mobile performance scores, we recommend the following:
– Disable unnecessary animations, as they can impact loading speed and performance on mobile devices.
– Use lightweight elements and avoid heavy media files where possible.
– Consider enabling AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) as it can significantly enhance mobile loading speed and user experience.
If you need assistance with any of these steps, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help.

Hello, sektek,
Thank you for providing access. We would like to kindly inform you that it is necessary to enable the following option on your server:
allow_url_fopen
We have attempted to enable this setting via php.ini and .htaccess; however, it appears that the option is disabled at a higher configuration level, and we are unable to override it.
We kindly ask you to contact your hosting provider and request that they enable the allow_url_fopen option on your server.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hello Mayur,
Thank you for your message and for your understanding regarding the scope of our support.
We truly appreciate your proactive approach and your willingness to implement the optimizations yourself. While we cannot provide in-depth, personalized configuration services, we’re happy to offer you a more detailed, step-by-step guide to help you optimize your website using the XStore theme and WP Rocket.
Please follow the steps below to improve your website’s performance and aim for a 90+ score on Google PageSpeed Insights:
1. Image Optimization
– Convert all images to modern formats like WebP.
– Use tools like TinyPNG, ShortPixel, or Imagify to compress images without losing quality.
– Ensure images are not larger than necessary (e.g., avoid using 2000px wide images in a 300px container).
2. WP Rocket Configuration (Recommended Settings) https://prnt.sc/KrryjX_ich6Y https://prnt.sc/VBDdWj3ZYhuU https://prnt.sc/6N8rQVS_SLk8 https://prnt.sc/ALcbp5Wf8-Jo https://prnt.sc/Z9bJEfzDOaVb
3. Theme & Plugin Optimization
– Avoid using multiple sliders or heavy visual elements on the homepage.
– Deactivate and remove any plugins that are not essential.
– Replace heavy plugins with lightweight alternatives where possible.
4. Server Optimization
– Ensure your hosting environment is optimized for WordPress and WooCommerce.
– Use the latest PHP version (8.1 or higher recommended).
– Consider using a managed WordPress hosting provider with built-in performance tools (e.g., Cloudways).
Example of Optimized XStore Site
To demonstrate what’s possible with proper configuration, please refer to this example:
https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-woocommerce-1476984-5641372-cloudwaysapps-com/dzka87l4hv?form_factor=mobile
As shown, the XStore theme is capable of achieving a 98+ score on mobile and 100 on desktop when properly optimized.
Please also refer to this forum post for additional insights:

Hello, Nicolo,
We have noticed that your website is utilizing a large number of plugins. This could potentially impact the website’s performance, lead to errors, and affect its overall speed. To ensure optimal functionality and avoid such issues, we kindly ask you to manually review each plugin currently in use on your website.
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.
Do the same test for the default WooCommerce theme – Storefront. The issue may be due to your custom code in the Child Theme.
Let us know the results.
Best regards,
8Theme’s Team

Hello, Plethora,
Could you please provide temporary wp-admin and FTP access? We will check what can be done to help you.
To grant WP-Admin access, please proceed to create a new user account with an administrator role through your WordPress Dashboard. Once the account is established, you may securely transmit the username and password to us via the Private Content section designated for this purpose.

Hello, Nicolo,
The loading speed of AJAX directly depends on the server response time. This means that the filter results cannot be loaded faster than the page with the corresponding filter itself.

Hello, mo,
Thank you for providing access. The issue appears to be related to the compatibility between Elementor Pro, WooCommerce, and the theme settings.
To resolve this, we have added the following code to the functions.php file of your child theme.
add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘fix_elementor_lightbox_on_variation_change’, 100);
function fix_elementor_lightbox_on_variation_change() {
if ( ! is_product() ) {
return;
}
?>
<script>
jQuery(function($) {
$(document).on('found_variation', function() {
setTimeout(function() {
$('.woocommerce-product-gallery__image a').each(function() {
$(this).attr('data-elementor-open-lightbox', 'yes');
});
if (typeof elementorProFrontend !== 'undefined' &&
elementorProFrontend.modules &&
elementorProFrontend.modules.lightbox) {
elementorProFrontend.modules.lightbox.init();
}
}, 1000);
});
});
</script>
<?php
}
Please note that this fix will also be included in the next theme update.
Best regards,

Dear Omar Quddam,
To improve your website speed, we recommend the following steps:
1. Optimize your images – Ensure all images are properly compressed without compromising quality.
2. Optimize your server – Consider using a reliable hosting provider and enabling server-side caching.
3. Optimize your website using a performance plugin such as WP Rocket – This can help with caching, file minification, and other speed enhancements.
Implementing these steps should significantly improve your site’s performance.
Best regards,
8Theme’s Team
Dear Omar Quddam,

Hello, Chris,
Thank you for providing access. The issue appears to be caused by the CompressX plugin, which replaces the default image tags with its own. As a result, WooCommerce scripts do not function correctly.
We have temporarily disabled the mentioned plugin. Kindly check the website and let us know if everything is working as expected.
Best regards,

Dear David Zoque,
Thank you for your message and for sharing your concerns in such a clear and respectful manner.
We completely understand your position and appreciate your long-term use of XStore. However, we would like to clarify a few important points regarding the performance behavior you’ve observed.
As we’ve already tested and confirmed on your server, any theme — even a free, officially developed native WooCommerce theme — exhibits similar performance characteristics under the same conditions. This is due to the server environment itself, not the theme. Even themes with minimal features and no additional functionality showed nearly the same CPU usage patterns. This confirms that the issue is not specific to XStore, but rather related to the server configuration and limitations.
From a technical standpoint — and based on the principles of physics, mathematics, and logic — a more advanced and feature-rich theme like XStore cannot possibly consume fewer resources than a basic theme with almost no functionality. It’s simply not feasible. We want to be transparent with you about this so that there are no unrealistic expectations moving forward.
We truly value your feedback and your business, and we hope that with the right server setup and optimizations (such as using Cloudflare and upgrading server resources), you will be able to continue using XStore successfully in the future.
Best regards,
8Theme’s Team
Hi David Zoque,
Thank you for your message and for providing additional context regarding your server’s performance.
Based on what we can see, a CPU usage of 75–80% during idle periods is considered within the normal range for your current server configuration. However, please note that if 2–5 customers access your site simultaneously, this level of usage may cause the server to become unresponsive, even when using the default Storefront theme with XStore Core plugin disabled.
Regarding optimization, we continuously work on improving the performance of the XStore theme with every update. In this particular case, we have identified a potential 10% performance improvement, of which approximately 5% was already implemented in the most recent XStore Core update released yesterday.
It’s important to clarify that this 10% improvement refers to the load generated by the XStore theme, not the default Storefront theme. The default theme includes only about 5% of the customization options and functionality that XStore currently offers.
In summary, the XStore theme naturally requires more resources ( +20%) due to its extensive features — approximately 95% more functionality than the default Storefront theme. As a result, your current server setup may not be sufficient to handle WooCommerce + XStore under real-world traffic conditions, which aligns with the concerns we discussed at the beginning of this topic.
To ensure optimal performance and stability, we strongly recommend considering an upgrade to a more powerful server and implementing a service like Cloudflare to help mitigate bot crawling and reduce unnecessary load on your site.
We hope this clarifies the situation, and we’re here to assist you further if needed.
Best regards,
8Theme’s Team
