Here is a good guide that will help, just be mindful of your hosting as even a well-optimized site can be dulled by a slow host, if you take a look, you'll find some site-speed optimization services in the marketplace, may be worth looking into if you are unable to fix the issue yourself, good luck. :cool:
 
I hope this guide can help you.

To increase your page speed ,
  • Enable compression.
  • Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML.
  • Reduce redirects.
  • Remove render-blocking JavaScript.
  • Leverage browser caching.
  • Improve server response time.
  • Use a content distribution network.
  • Optimize images.
 
To improve your server response time, look for performance bottlenecks like slow database queries, slow routing, or a lack of adequate memory and fix them.
Your server response time is affected by the amount of traffic you receive, the resources each page uses, the software your server uses, and the hosting solution you use.
Reduce redirects
Each time a page redirects to another page, your visitor faces additional time waiting for the HTTP request-response cycle to complete.

Also what type of hosting are you using and how many/what plugins?
 
  1. Configure a fast infrastructure or use a fast host.
  2. Use a CDN.
  3. Use Gzip for file compression.
  4. Reduce the number of HTTP requests.
  5. Minify CSS and JavaScript. :-)
 
See if there are codes and errors with your host provider, then fix them if there are.
 
First off, move to a faster host
Compress images and use a cache plugin

You need to optimize your site, especially for mobile devices. This you can achieve first by removing every unnecessary element and plugin from it, something that is big and occupies too much space. You have to compress images and host videos outside of the site, on some external platform. Also, make sure that you aren't using too many different fonts as they can be heavy too. Lastly, minify CSS and JS, analyze the site with Google Lighthouse, and see suggestions you will receive.
 
Determine if and where you're lagging.
Compress your images.
Shrink, or minify, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code.
Eliminate render-blocking elements.
Accelerate your mobile speed.
Avoid or minimize page redirects.
Improve server response times.
Use a content delivery network.
 
Please respect the people who would be glad to assist you! Don't let us guess everything for you.

Questions:
- What platform you are using ? Is it WordPress? Is it Joomla or a Laravel based website?

If you are using WordPress :
- What theme you are using?
- What plugins you have enabled?
- Are you using onsite caching?
- Are you using Image optimizer?


What is your web hosting type?
- Shared Hosting, VPS or WordPress hosting?
- Are you using any CDN like CloudFlare/BunnyCDN etc?

-What is your PHP version?
-Is there any server side caching enabled?


Finally if we are speaking for WordPress.. follow the advises that you have already receive.

If you care, you can give us more info :)
 
1)install wp rocket, but only use build cache, not mobile one.
2) preload links
3) min js
4) install perfmatters - close most thins emojis etc,
5) go to delay js - delay all js - counter 4 - 6 seconds
7) delay unused css in it
8) lazyload - perfmatters

If you have a decent host with cdn you should hit 80 - 90

If stuck mail perfmatters team they respond fast and help too.
 
I will write a longer and more detailed post later.
I don't know what kind of site you are running or your server's architecture...but here are the basics:

First - Check Your Site:
Check what these sites are telling you:

Second - The Basics:

SERVER:
  • Don't use a cheap server. Stay away from Godaddy, HostGator, Dreamhost, LiquidWeb...etc.
  • Find a good DNS provider. Do not use Godaddy, NamCheap, Name ..etc. Use Cloudflare, Google Domains, Hurricane Electric, or NS1. These are all free and good. The purpose is to lower your TTFB (time to first byte).
  • Server cache (such as zlib or gzip). Brotli is MUCH better, but you have to have a NGINX server.
  • Make sure your server is running HTTP/2. (HTTP/1 is single-threaded. HTTP/2 is multi-threaded when loading requests)

WEBSITE:
  • Browsing Caching (making sure browser is caching for 30+ days)
  • Object Caching (Redis, Memcached -- these can literally turn seconds into fractions of a second)
  • Run Varnish (HTTP Caching)
  • Minify (HTML, CSS, Javascript. Compress everything)
  • Move Javascript files to the footer of your page.
  • Apply "async" to the end of all scripts
  • Run async on your CSS files (I'll create a post later explaining this)
  • Pre-load (DNS pre-fetching) fonts and required files such as CSS, Analytics..etc (preload at the highest part in your header)
  • Combine Google fonts (if running these. 1 request instead of multiple.)
  • If a script is not needed, remove it. If a script is only needed on a specific page, ONLY run it on that page.
  • Service Workers. Have service workers run and manage the page caching. While Google claims it gives you a 30x increase/advantage, I would say it's more 2x-5x advantage depending on your site.

IMAGES:
  • Use .jpg or .webp (better)
  • Compress images using TinyPNG (Do it manually. Don't place added resources on your server by adding an automated script)
  • If you can, load them from a 3rd-party server or CDN. This way browser and gzip are able to cache them better.
  • Lazy load all of your images. Only load them when a user/browser has them in view.
  • Set output sizes on all of your images. Most images/sizes come from CSS files, but setting actual sizes within the image code help your speed and SEO.

DATABASE:
  • Cache database queries. (no sense of making the same requests over and over. Have these cached.)
  • MySQL has the option to optimize tables (no code needed). Use this feature.
  • If you are running a CMS it means that your entire site is making requests for everything to the database. This is your weakest link. Make sure your server/host has plenty of RAM and fast RAM (not all RAM is the same).

CDN (Content Delivery Network):
  • If you are able to, sign up and use it. Your assets (javascript, css, images) will be cache and loaded from servers around the world.
  • I personally recommend Fastly or BunnyCDN. Cloudflare isn't a CDN, but they do offer fast DNS and cache your site at the DNS level (also free SSL and Firewall)
  • Use a P2P CDN (users share resources. The more users = faster load for everyone. It's also free!)

FIREWALL:
  • Whether you are worrying about attacks or not, any amount of traffic does place load on your server. Place up a firewall against bots and pointless traffic for Geo-locations. Example: China, Iran, Sudan (*this is only an example*).

WORDPRESS:
If you are running WordPress, to lower the blocking time (TBT - Total Blocking Time):
  • Slow/Disable Heartbeat
  • Utilize WP-Cache
  • Remove WordPress tags (wp-generator, manifest, oEmbed, shortlinks, Emojicons)
  • Remove XML-RPC
  • Remove jQuery Migrate
  • Remove comment cookies
  • Remove s.w. org Prefetch
  • Remove WP-HTML comments (code comments from WordPress and plugins)
  • Disable JSON API
  • Prevent certain plugins from loading for X milliseconds (in functions file if you have coding knowledge)

Without going into depth or knowing your issue, the above is just right off the top of my head. GOOD LUCK!
 
Try Cloudflare. They not only provide your website cache from servers all over the world, they also got several features you can enable to optimize your site.
 
Get good hosting, minify CSS and JavaScript and get a CDN.
 
If your website is in WordPress download nitro pack and get amazed with your website speed.
