Hi and thanks for your reply.
I managed to get back the storefront with permalink, somehow changes happened there.
About the performance and woocommerce: unabling other plugins did not make the trick. all woocommerce plugins are up to date, so is my standard theme (twentyseventeen). So, still no change here.
This is my status report:
