⚠ What to Be Cautious / Limitations
- Because of the many AJAX / advanced features, performance might suffer on low-spec hosting (shared servers) or with very large catalogs unless well optimized.
- Theme seems built on Redux framework, which adds dependencies; also, some users worry about how smoothly it integrates with newer page builders or block editor setups.
- Some versions / sources of the theme (outside of official channels) seem to be “GPL / nulled” versions; risk of security or missing support. GPLVilla+2Best GPL Site+2
- The blog layout options are decent, but if your site is heavily content-driven (lots of posts), might still need more flexibility than this theme offers.
- Depending on how AJAX features are coded, SEO might be impacted if product pages / filters do not produce crawlable links or proper structured data.
🔍 What’s New / Version 1.43 Insights
- In v1.43, one of the main updates listed is “Updated WooCommerce” – meaning compatibility fixes / improvements with newer WooCommerce versions. AEThemes+2WeaDown+2

💡 What to Check / Ask Before Using
If you decide to use Famita, consider verifying:
- WooCommerce & PHP compatibility: What WooCommerce version are they testing with, and is your PHP version supported?
- Demo import: Does the demo import process work cleanly? Sometimes sample content imports fail or need adjustments.
- SEO friendliness: Check whether AJAX shop / filters provide fallback links / paths / metadata so search engines can index product pages properly.
- Page load speed: Test the theme’s performance (desktop & mobile) especially for shop pages with many products.
- Support & updates: Ensure you’re purchasing from a source that provides valid license, updates, and support. Avoid pirated or nulled copies.
- Customization flexibility: How easy is it to tweak header/footer, typography, colors, layout beyond what demos offer, especially if you have a unique brand identity.
- Mobile UX: Since many buyers shop via mobile, check responsive behavior, touch interactions (menus, quick view, filters).
