I am facing serious performance issues with your theme on my website, especially

Hello XTemos Support Team,

My website is running on WordPress + WooCommerce, and I am already using **WP Rocket** with performance optimization enabled. Despite this, the website is still very slow and the **LCP score is extremely low**, particularly on the homepage and mobile devices.

I have already tried common optimization methods such as:

* WP Rocket caching and optimization
* Lazy loading and image optimization
* Delay/Defer JavaScript
* Remove Unused CSS / Used CSS
* Optimizing above-the-fold images
* Reducing render-blocking resources

However, the XTemos theme itself appears to be loading a significant amount of CSS, JavaScript, fonts, and other resources before the LCP element can render.

Could you please investigate and advise:

1. Which XTemos/WoodMart theme files are contributing most to the LCP delay?
2. Which theme CSS/JS files can safely be disabled or unloaded on the homepage?
3. Is there any recommended XTemos/WoodMart configuration specifically for improving LCP and Core Web Vitals?
4. Are there any known compatibility issues between WoodMart and WP Rocket that could be affecting LCP?
5. Can you provide a recommended WP Rocket configuration for WoodMart?
6. Is there any theme-level optimization or update available that can significantly improve LCP performance?

I would really appreciate a **specific solution for WoodMart/XTemos**, rather than general WordPress speed optimization advice, as I have already implemented the standard optimization techniques.

Please review the website and let me know what changes you recommend from the theme side to improve **LCP, render-blocking resources, and overall page loading speed**.

Thank you.
Best regards,

Hello,

Our theme is optimized for speed and should not significantly slow down your website.

However, it’s possible that your website’s performance is affected by the content you have added. For instance, the use of too many plugins, large unoptimized images, or other resources can slow down your website.

We recommend that you remove any unnecessary plugins and install a JS & CSS optimization plugin such as WP Rocket.

Our guide on how to optimize your website using our themes can be found here:

Best Regards

Hello XTemos Support,

Thank you for your response.

I have already implemented the recommended optimizations. I am using only the necessary plugins, and I am already using WP Rocket for JS/CSS optimization, caching, and performance improvements. I have also optimized the images and removed unnecessary resources wherever possible.

The main issue I am facing is with the theme/page builder itself. **WPBakery is generating a significant amount of CSS and JavaScript and is causing render-blocking resources, which is directly affecting the LCP and overall loading performance.** The page builder feels quite heavy, especially on the homepage and product pages.

I have already tried the standard optimization methods, so simply recommending WP Rocket or removing plugins does not address the core issue.

Could you please investigate specifically whether there are any **WoodMart/XTemos theme settings, WPBakery assets, scripts, or CSS files that can be safely disabled or optimized** to reduce render-blocking resources and improve LCP?

If possible, please also suggest the recommended WP Rocket + WoodMart configuration for achieving the best possible Core Web Vitals performance.

I would appreciate a solution focused on the actual theme/page-builder resources rather than the standard plugin and image optimization recommendations, as those optimizations have already been implemented.

Regards,
Grover Techno

**Subject: WoodMart Theme Performance Issues – LCP, CSS, JS & Layout**

Dear WoodMart Support Team,

I am facing serious performance issues on my WooCommerce website **grovertechno.com**, even though WP Rocket is already properly configured.

After checking the site through Chrome Performance and Lighthouse, I found several issues that appear to be related to WoodMart:

* **High LCP and main-thread work** — around **5.4 seconds**.
* **Style & Layout:** around **886 ms**.
* scrollBar.min.js?ver=8.5.7 is causing significant **Recalculate Style and Layout** work (around 100+ ms).
* A very large number of small WoodMart parts/*.css files are being loaded and creating a long **critical request dependency chain**.
* Several WoodMart/Open Sans/Lexend font files are taking around **1.4–1.5 seconds** in the critical path.
* Search, header, mobile navigation, sticky header and WooCommerce-related CSS are also appearing in the critical rendering chain, even when some of these elements are not immediately visible.

I am already using WP Rocket with **Remove Unused CSS, Deferred JavaScript and Delay JavaScript**, so I would like your team to investigate this at the **theme level**.

Could you please advise:

1. How to reduce WoodMart’s CSS/JS dependencies?
2. Whether scrollBar.min.js and its layout calculations can be optimized or disabled safely?
3. How to prevent unnecessary header/search/mobile-navigation CSS from blocking initial rendering?
4. How to optimize WoodMart’s font loading and reduce the critical path?
5. Are these known performance issues in **WoodMart 8.5.7**, and are there any fixes available in a newer version?

Please provide **specific WoodMart settings or recommended fixes**, rather than general caching advice, as WP Rocket is already being used.

Regards,

Hello,

I have checked your site speed using the PageSpeed tool and see the following issue.

Minimize main-thread work – I suggest using WP Rocket to fix it, more details are here: https://wp-rocket.me/google-core-web-vitals-wordpress/minimize-main-thread-work/

-Reduce JavaScript execution time – WP Rocket can help with it, check this: https://wp-rocket.me/google-core-web-vitals-wordpress/reduce-javascript-execution-time/

– Render-blocking requests: enable this https://take.ms/BuPV8 option in Theme settings to make it better.

-Network dependency tree: replace the fonts from Google to the local fonts
https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/how-to-upload-custom-fonts/

– Use efficient cache lifetimes: You should cache immutable static assets for a long time, such as a year or longer, so you need to configure your server to return the Cache-Control HTTP response header:

It should be 1 year, as in the example: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/performance/uses-long-cache-ttl/?utm_source=lighthouse&utm_medium=lr#how_to_cache_static_resources_using_http_caching

Also, Navigate to Theme Settings > Performance > CSS / JS

Here you can use “Scripts never load” and “Styles never load” to prevent unnecessary WoodMart assets from loading. Please only disable assets that are not required by your website, and test the homepage, header, shop, product pages, and mobile layout afterward.

Note: Website optimization is an individual process for every website. We recommend you analyze your performance with online tools like Pingdom Website Speed Test, Google Pagespeed, GTmetrix, and Web Page Test. They will give you a lot of recommendations and tips regarding performance.

Best Regards
