If you have Cpanel, go to select my php version and set it to the most recent version. Many hosts are providing 7.3 but 7+ will be good enough. You can find 'select php options' setting somewhere and you can use it to change php settings.
Change the following options: https://webnus.ticksy.com/article/4415

After that install either WP-Rocket (paid) or W3 Total cache (Free) plugin. There will be settings for optimization and you need to tweak according to your site. You should see improvement in loading speed and metrics.

What is a CDN
Click to expand...
CDN is a content delivery network. For example, if you have 90% traffic from New York, then choosing a hosting data center close to NY will be enough. The page load will be slower for other locations. If you have well-distributed traffic, then choose a CDN, which will have data centers across the world and will serve pages faster everywhere.

Unlike static html pages, wordpress sends too many php and database calls for each page load, so the loading speed of wordpress sites is relatively slow. Using a cache plugin like WP-rocket, litespeed etc will reduce these calls. If you have adsense, your loading speed will be up to 5 seconds on a shared hosting. Always remember that loading speed is important and the metrics in Google insights, Pingdom, GTmetrix etc will only hint at scope of improvements. If your site loads within 1 sec and Google shows < 30 score, you can safely ignore it.

, I assume it would be wise to get a proper hosting.
Are you trying to say that hosting24 are rubbish and I should change

No, I am assuming that you have a shared hosting, which is of lower quality in terms of speed, compared to a dedicated vps hosting.
 
There are a few things you can do. Delete Themes which you do not need, shrink pictures, right hosting, don't use to many plugins are obvious and a good start.
