Hi,

My site is wordpress and i installed WP fastest cache plugin to increase my GPSI and gt metrix avg page load speed.

Before installing plugin -
GPSI for mobile - 34 and desktop - 77 and GT metrix avg load time 4.4 sec

After Installing plugin-
GPSI for mobile - 63 and desktop - 91 and GT metrix avg load time 8.3 sec

As you can see my GPSI improved but my avg loading time incease. Can ypu please suggest what to do ?
 
1) wp Rocket 2) auto optimise in this add critical css 3) use cdn I would recommend stackpath this should speed your site up.

if this doesn’t work check @FatBee guide
 
  • WP Rocket - Best cache and speed performance plugin on the market.
  • Autoptimize - It actually provides a better more robust CSS and JS minification than WP Rocket. Make sure you disable this feature on WP Rocket if you´re going to use both. Either way, I think WP Rocket detects when each of the options in Autoptimize is active and prevents you from activating the same option in WP Rocket. Also, If you're going to use a CDN make sure to set it up on both plugins.
  • Asset Clean Up - It will allow you to individually disable CSS and JS from particular plugins from loading on pages where you don´t need them.
  • Imagify - It´s an image optimization plugin that won´t only compress your images once you upload them to your site´s media library but, it will also convert them to webp format.
  • Enable a CDN service - Cloudflare is by far the best free CDN service in the market.
Also, as @Mr Positive point it out, make sure to check @FatBee WordPress page speed optimization guide.

I am planning on making a guide soon where you won't really have to depend on paid plugins.
 
What hosting are you using? All of the above suggestions are 100% accurate as far as optimizations. However with these times and the already installed plugins , I would look at your server. And full paint etc is very helpful however we need to look at TTFB when is the first byte received.
 
Look at waterfall section closely.

It will provide detail about what is taking longer time to load.
