Test your website on this right now.
See if you can make changes on the suggestions.

A lot of changes together will help yoy achive good results in this case. Like a good hosting is must for this.

• Don't use a cheap server. Stay away from Godaddy, HostGator, Dreamhost, LiquidWeb...etc.

What hosting do you recommend?

blackcodez said:

• 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).

What DNS provider do you recommend?

blackcodez said:

• Minify (HTML, CSS, Javascript. Compress everything)

Where do you stand on combining CSS and JS files (even when running an HTTP/2 protocol)?

blackcodez said:

• Move Javascript files to the footer of your page.
• Apply "async" to the end of all scripts

Where do you stand on delaying the execution of third-party scripts?

blackcodez said:

• Run async on your CSS files (I'll create a post later explaining this)

Looking forward to reading it!

blackcodez said:

• Pre-load (DNS pre-fetching) fonts and required files such as CSS, Analytics..etc (preload at the highest part in your header)

Care to elaborate more on this?

blackcodez said:

• Combine Google fonts (if running these. 1 request instead of multiple.)

I will search this on Google now but I would love for you to expand on this.

blackcodez said:

• If a script is not needed, remove it. If a script is only needed on a specific page, ONLY run it on that page.

Do you do this manually or through a plugin?

blackcodez said:

• Cache database queries. (no sense of making the same requests over and over. Have these cached.)

Care to expand on this?

blackcodez said:

• Make sure your server/host has plenty of RAM and fast RAM (not all RAM is the same).

What is the minimum you recommend for a fresh/new site?

Without going into depth or knowing your issue, the above is just right off the top of my head. GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for taking the time to write that reply!

Work more on the technical side of things on your website before you proceed with on-page and off-page optimization.

There are a lot of guides out there, but basically:

Install and set up these plugins:
Hummingbird - turn on the cache and defer as much JS and CSS as you can
EWW Image Optimizer
Plugin Organizer - turn off plugins on pages where they're not needed

Hook up your site's DNS to Cloudflare Pro, turn on every speed optimization option, except for Rocket Loader if it breaks your site.

That should do the trick. Let us know how you do
