had a little time to review, page reviewed
hosting tip, go dedicated so you are not affected by other vps with high usage. We have had great results putting clients onto this hosting ssd/nvme with plesk.
here some feedback that may help you DIY, but I also noted slow response from category to product but out of time for today!
also I recommend disable PS ccc .js (probably for .css also) why? the following pages have different ccc file names, so it's reloading files that were may have been fetched an cached in the browser from previous page.
