Dear WebLxo,
We understand your concern regarding the high number of hits on your website, especially considering that the number of real users is around 1,000 per day. After reviewing the situation and based on the information and screenshots previously shared, we would like to clarify that a significant portion of the traffic appears to be generated by automated bots.
These bots are designed to crawl websites and often bypass standard restrictions such as robots.txt or inline blocking methods. Their primary goal is to extract as much information as possible from your website, and they often simulate real user behavior, which makes them difficult to detect through basic analytics.
As AI technologies continue to evolve, these bots have become more aggressive in their crawling behavior. This results in a high number of requests to your server, which in turn leads to increased CPU and memory usage. This is likely the reason you’re observing high resource consumption despite having a relatively low number of actual users.
We have also shared images in our previous message to support this observation and to show that these crawling bots are indeed consuming your server resources.
To mitigate this, we recommend implementing advanced bot protection measures such as server-level firewalls, rate limiting, or using services like Cloudflare to help filter out unwanted traffic.
Please let us know if you need assistance with any of these steps. We’re here to help.
Best regards,
8Theme’s Team
Dear WebLxo,
Thank you so much for your message.
We appreciate your attention to the recent changes in your website traffic. The situation is becoming clearer now. Please follow the link below in your cPanel to review the bandwidth usage:
https://cloudcp.defaultserver.net:2083/cpsess1115814812/frontend/jupiter/stats/bandwidth.html
As you will see, there has been a significant increase in traffic to your website over the past three months, especially in July for the domain vectorlix.com.
Could you please confirm how many real customers you typically have per day? At the moment, we are seeing approximately 100,000 hits to your server. We would like to understand whether these are real users or automated bots.
This is important because traffic is the main factor in this situation. If the traffic is generated by bots, we recommend implementing additional protection measures. However, if these are real customers, congratulations! In that case, we suggest upgrading to a more powerful server to ensure optimal performance, as your current traffic levels are significantly higher than before.
You can also monitor in real-time which pages are being visited by following this link:
Additionally, you can view detailed bot crawling which take 400gb of your traffic 90% statistics here:
(We have also attached a screenshot for your reference.)
Please let us know if you need any assistance in analyzing this data.
Best regards,
8Theme’s Team
Dear WebLxo,
Thank you for reaching out to us and for providing the screenshot.
In order to investigate the issue further, please send us access to your cPanel. This will allow us to check the crawl system of bots and better understand what might be causing the high CPU usage when logging into the admin panel.
We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to resolving this for you.
Best regards,
8Theme’s Team
Dear WebLxo,
Thank you for your message and for bringing this to our attention.
We understand your concern regarding the high CPU usage on your server, especially when using Elementor or during regular visits. Based on our experience with similar cases, a significant increase in CPU usage can occur when a large number of users access the same page or functionality simultaneously. In previous instances, we have found that such behavior was often caused by bots crawling the website.
For example, when a bot visits your site, it may trigger multiple processes at once. If this happens at a large scale (e.g., 50,000+ requests), it can cause a noticeable spike in CPU usage, regardless of the server’s capacity.
As a first step, we recommend checking your server logs or using a security plugin to determine whether there is any unusual bot activity or traffic patterns. This will help identify if the issue is related to automated traffic.
If, after checking, you find that the issue is not caused by bots or abnormal traffic, please let us know. We will then proceed with further investigation and provide you with the next steps to resolve the issue.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Best regards,
8Theme’s Team
Hello, Abhinandan,

Hello, M,
Yes, this does appear to be a rather unusual situation. It seems likely that the issue is related to a configuration bug within the WCAPF plugin itself. Most probably, its settings are tied to the theme in use.
We kindly ask you to review the WCAPF plugin settings with both the parent and child themes activated. Unfortunately, we are unable to perform this check ourselves, as the user account you provided does not have sufficient permissions to access the plugin’s settings.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,

Hello, sektek,
First of all, we kindly recommend updating the theme to the latest version and checking whether the issue persists.

Hello, Abhinandan,
Unfortunately, this feature is not part of the default functionality of our theme.
If you would like to automatically create fields and display them on the client side, this would require additional customization, which falls outside the scope of Envato support.
Should you be interested in ordering a customization service, you are welcome to contact the appropriate department via the following link:

Hello, Mubashir,
For the time being, we are reverting all the changes we have made, as they are not being reflected on the site. We prefer not to take the risk of leaving them in place, since we are unsure when the cache on your server will be cleared and what the outcome might be at that point.
Ideally, we would like to make adjustments in real-time; however, unfortunately, this is not possible on your server environment.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
8Theme Team
Hello, Eugene Shek,
We have attempted to access the service from different IP addresses and various countries; however, it still does not work. It appears that the issue may not be related to IP blocking, but rather that access is permitted only for a specific IP address.
We kindly ask you to review the settings on your end.
Best regards,
The 8Theme Team
Hi WebLxo,
We hope this message finds you well.
We’d like to share some important updates regarding the speed and performance enhancements in XStore.
Over the past few months, our development team has been working diligently to optimize the theme’s performance. As a result, our public optimized demo now achieves outstanding scores—98+ on mobile and 100+ on desktop—in Google PageSpeed Insights. This demonstrates that XStore is now fully optimized for speed and efficiency.
You can view the performance results here:
https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-woocommerce-1476984-5641372-cloudwaysapps-com/dzka87l4hv?form_factor=mobile
However, we’ve also identified a significant factor that may be affecting your site’s responsiveness: bot traffic. On several client websites, we’ve observed automated bots generating over 50,000 requests per day to dynamic filter URLs on the shop page. Even on high-performance servers, this volume of repeated queries can lead to noticeable slowdowns.
To assist you in investigating this issue, we will provide detailed screenshots in your private support area. These will illustrate the bot-generated request patterns and help you understand how they may be impacting your server’s performance.
Here’s what we’ve done so far:
– Optimized all frontend assets (CSS/JS, images, lazy-loading).
– Improved AJAX filter endpoints to reduce query overhead.
– Strengthened nofollow and other standard directives (though some bots still bypass them).
We continue to refine these protections to ensure optimal performance.
Next Steps:
1. Upgrade to XStore 9.5
This latest release includes all recent speed optimizations and server-side performance improvements. You can download the update from the Downloads section on our website:
https://www.8theme.com/downloads/
or from your Downloads area on ThemeForest.
2. Implement Bot Protection
To effectively block unwanted crawlers, we recommend using a bot-protection service such as Cloudflare or a similar Web Application Firewall (WAF). These tools can filter malicious traffic before it reaches your server, ensuring better performance and security.
Thank you for your continued support and patience. If you have any questions or need assistance reviewing your server logs and request patterns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via the private support forum.
Best regards,
The 8Theme’s Team

Hello WebLxo,
We hope this message finds you well.
We have observed that your website is currently utilizing a large number of plugins. While plugins can enhance functionality, using too many may negatively impact your website’s performance, cause errors, and reduce overall speed.
To ensure optimal performance and stability, we kindly recommend that you manually review each plugin currently installed on your website. Please consider deactivating or removing any plugins that are not essential.
If the issue continues after this review, we suggest the following steps:
– Please create a full backup of your website to ensure your data is safe.
– Once the backup is complete, kindly provide us with temporary access credentials so that our team can log in and make any necessary adjustments.
Additionally, could you please confirm whether you have tested another theme on the same website and server environment? This information will help us better understand the situation and provide more accurate support.
We look forward to your response and are here to assist you further.
Best regards,
The 8Theme Team
Dear engeldeluxe,
Thank you for your message.
We appreciate your input and will take the time to thoroughly review the matter. In the meantime, we are preparing a staging environment to test the functionality using the example you provided:
https://demo.happyaddons.com/elementor-icon-box-widget-demo/
We will specifically test the “Live Copy” feature via the Happy Addons plugin in Elementor.
As a general recommendation, please ensure the following on your end:
– The CORS policy is not being blocked on your site.
– Your website is accessible over the network.
– The source site (from which you are copying) and your site (where you are pasting) are both opened in the same browser session.
– Both sites are served over HTTPS.
If there is anything specific that you believe is missing or needs to be updated, please let us know and we will be happy to assist further.
Best Regards,
8Theme’s Team
Dear engeldeluxe,
Thank you for your message.
Unfortunately, we could not find any URL included in your message. In order to better understand the issue, could you please provide us with a working example of another theme or plugin where the “Live Copy” feature is functioning correctly on your side?
Additionally, we kindly ask you to share access to your staging environment where this other theme or plugin is installed and working as expected. This will help us analyze the differences and identify any potential compatibility issues.
We have not disabled the “Live Copy” feature in general. It remains active and functional for the majority of our users. However, we are actively investigating any reports of incompatibility and are committed to improving the feature’s reliability across different environments.
We understand your concern and truly value your patience. Please rest assured that we are taking this matter seriously and will do our best to assist you in resolving the issue.
Best Regards,
8Theme’s Team
Dear arun,
Thank you for your message and for considering a different server setup.
We can certainly give it a try; however, please note that migration and installation fall outside the scope of Envato support policy. Therefore, we kindly ask you to proceed with the installation on the new, more powerful server from your side. Once installed, you should notice improved performance and faster loading times for your website.
Regarding your question — yes, our theme does support multilingual functionality. You can use popular plugins such as WPML, Polylang, or Loco Translate to achieve this.
Best regards,
8Theme’s Team
Hello,
Thank you for your message and for sharing your concerns.
To assist you further and ensure a proper investigation, we kindly ask you to send us the list of themes and plugins that are currently working correctly on your server with the “live paste” feature enabled. This will help us better understand the environment and compare configurations.
We understand the importance of this issue and take your feedback seriously. Please rest assured that we are committed to resolving any compatibility problems and improving our product based on user experience and reports.
