Troubleshooting Slow Loading Times with Royal Elementor Addons

Many users of the Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin report slow website loading times, particularly on pages using its WooCommerce widgets or theme builder templates. This performance bottleneck can be frustrating. This guide outlines the common causes and provides steps to help you diagnose and improve your site's speed.

Why Does This Happen?

Based on community reports, the slowdowns often originate from a few key areas within the plugin:

  • Inefficient Database Queries: WooCommerce product grids and category pages can sometimes load all products in a query at once instead of using proper pagination, which is extremely resource-intensive with large catalogs.
  • Aggressive Logging: Some users have discovered a database table named fs_logger that can grow to multiple gigabytes in size, consuming significant server resources.
  • Transients Buildup: A specific transient, wpr_custom_guest_token, has been observed creating tens of thousands of temporary entries in the database within a short period, leading to database overload.
  • Bulk CSS Loading: The plugin loads a large, combined CSS file (frontend.min.css) containing styles for all widgets, even those you have disabled, resulting in unused CSS that slows down page rendering.
  • External Resources: The plugin may load certain scripts, like DOMPurify, from external CDNs (e.g., cdnjs.cloudflare.com), which can introduce latency and GDPR compliance concerns.

Common Solutions to Try

1. Optimize WooCommerce Product Queries

If your shop or category pages are slow:

  • Reduce the "Posts Per Page" number in your grid or slider widget settings.
  • Ensure the "Load More" or pagination functionality is enabled to prevent the page from trying to load hundreds of products simultaneously.

2. Investigate and Clean the Database

Check for and manage unnecessary data:

  • Use a plugin like "WP-Optimize" or "Advanced Database Cleaner" to regularly clean up transient options and expired data from your wp_options table.
  • Inspect your database for a table named fs_logger. If present and growing rapidly, you may need to consult the plugin's documentation for a way to disable logging, as this is often a feature intended for development debugging.

3. Manage Plugin Assets

Reduce the amount of unnecessary code loaded on your site:

  • Navigate to Royal Elementor Addons > Settings in your WordPress dashboard.
  • Disable every widget and extension that you are not using on your site. While this may not remove all unused CSS from the main file, it prevents additional scripts from loading.

4. Check Caching and CDN Exclusions

If you use a caching plugin like WP Rocket:

  • Some users have reported issues with Safari on iOS. Try temporarily disabling caching to see if it resolves display issues. You may need to experiment with excluding certain Royal Addons scripts or assets from optimization rules.
  • For image optimization plugins like LiteSpeed Cache that serve WebP images, note that some Royal Addons widgets may not use standard <img> tags, preventing automatic conversion. You may need to pre-convert your images manually or use a different optimization method.

5. Perform a General Speed Test

Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix to get a baseline for your site's performance. These tools can help you identify other non-plugin-related issues, such as unoptimized images or slow server response times, which could be compounding the problem.

When to Seek Further Help

If you have tried the steps above and your site is still experiencing significant slowdowns, the issue may be complex and require deeper investigation. Performance problems can be caused by a unique combination of your hosting environment, other active plugins, and your site's specific content.

For further assistance, you can describe your issue in detail on independent forums like the WordPress.org support forum for the plugin, where other community members and experts may be able to offer advice based on their own experiences.
