Hi Henri,
Can you share the support thread via my contact form, you created in AppThemes? I am curios to know myself.
Also do you have the latest version of JobRoller theme installed and the latest WordPress version running in your site? Have you done a plugin conflict test? How much memory do you have allocated to your site by your host?
Thank you
