Need help with CSS and speed issues on Woodmart theme
-
Hello,
I recently purchased additional support because I really need help with a few issues on my site using the Woodmart theme.
1. Custom CSS issue:
Whenever I add something in the Custom CSS section, all theme styles disappear or don’t show correctly. I have to clear LiteSpeed cache every time to make the changes visible. If LiteSpeed is enabled, the problem still happens — it seems the theme doesn’t properly save or apply the Custom CSS right away.
2. Site speed issue:
I’m using LiteSpeed to make my website faster, but my WooCommerce grouped products load very slowly, even with caching enabled. It takes a long time for related products to appear.
Please help me set up everything correctly so that the Custom CSS works properly and the product pages load faster.
Thank you.

Thank you,
Best regards
Hello,
1. You need to increase the specificity of the selector you’re using in Global custom CSS – https://take.ms/HlvAg
For example, replace .group_table tr with .wd-page-wrapper .group_table tr – https://take.ms/NjPX2
2. I don’t see any problem – https://take.ms/5BoPs
Kind Regards
1. Thank you for your help with the global custom CSS — this solution works perfectly! 🙂
2. About the speed: I see that you enabled the LiteSpeed plugin. Yes, it does improve the loading time for grouped products, but there’s still a noticeable delay. They don’t open as fast as regular products. Is there any way to optimize this part further? I tested with other themes like Impreza or Flatsome, and grouped products load faster there (but I really want to stay with the Woodmart theme).
3. One more question: on single product pages, the related products currently show items from all subcategories. Do you have a function or setting that allows displaying only related products from the same subcategory as the current product?
Thank you!
2. We didn’t touch your website and activate any plugins. Please deactivate all plugins that are not related to our theme temporarily so we can measure the speed. Also, allow us to switch between themes to see if our theme affects this somehow.
3. Related products are generated by the WooCommerce plugin and our theme doesn’t influence this. There is no option to configure this.
Kind Regards
2. I have currently deactivated all plugins, leaving only the most essential ones to keep the functionality working (I kept Woodmart Core, WooCommerce, ACF, and WPBakery). Please check it now. You really need to wait until the archive page or any product page fully loads. Please help — this is not how a theme like Woodmart should behave. Please check my link below in a private tab.
3. Understood, thank you for your reply.
As we can see, some plugins are still active. Could you please send us your actual admin access so we can check what is wrong?
Yes, sure
Please check private tab
We have reduced the number of related products and now it seems to work better. (like with the default theme). Could you please test from your end?
Thank you for your reply. Yes, with a smaller number of related products, the inner pages do load faster. However, each product must have 25–30 related products displayed. When the number of related products is higher, the loading time increases (basically the same as before). Maybe this part could be optimized somehow — perhaps by disabling something in Woodmart or similar?
Best regards
Could you please send us your FTP or SSH access so we can troubleshoot the problem?
Yes, of course. I’m adding the FTP login details below.
We tested with the default theme on your website (after increasing the number of related products) and the problem is the same. It happens due to a large amount of DB queries https://xtemos.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/scr/2025/10/09/shot-1760016609-c83c2e1b4cf3fd85.png
It seems to be some WooCommerce bug so you need to contact its developers for help. If you need, we will provide you with instructions on how to increase the number of related products on the default theme for testing purposes.
Thank you for your responses and for checking. I will contact WooCommerce regarding the high number of generated queries and see what they can do to help.
You are always welcome. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
