Hello, 4NOdes,
Thank you for reaching out to us and for being a valued user of the XStore theme. We hope this message finds you well.
We sincerely appreciate your detailed explanation of the issues you are experiencing with the preloader and lazy loading features, as well as your interest in optimizing your website’s performance. We are here to assist you.
Please update the theme and Core plugin https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/theme-installation/theme-update/ https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/plugins/plugins-update/ Clear cache after that.
To remove the loading effect on Elementor widgets and show them at once, the next custom CSS code can be used:
body:not([data-elementor-device-mode]) {
--etheme-element-loader-display: none;
--etheme-element-loading-opacity: 1;
--etheme-element-loading-visibility: visible;
}
Website speed depends on various factors that we do not control. What we can do is share the links that can help you with speed optimization: https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/troubleshooting/how-to-speed-up-my-website/
Every additional plugin slows down the site a bit, so we would recommend you disable unrequired plugins as well.
For further guidance on how to improve your website’s speed, Please contact your service provider and ask them to fix it and we invite you to review our theme documentation. The following links provide detailed information on this topic:

Ensure that all images are optimized for the web. You can use tools like Adobe Photoshop or free online services such as TinyPNG to reduce image file sizes without losing quality.
