I am trying to make [atomsales.com](http://atomsales.com) be fast. I scanned the WordPress website using [gtmetrix.com](http://gtmetrix.com) and I got Avoid an excessive DOM size error

**Maximum DOM Depth** span class="woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol 40

**Maximum Child Elements**  
select name=“product\_cat” id=“product\_cat” class=“postform resizeselect”  
62

Please what is the best way of fixing this issue? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
