I have a client who has a website but is very slow to load. The CMS is WordPress.

Are there any ways to optimize the loading of the website?

Like plugins, configurations or something useful.

First go to web.dev and see what is making this slow. Also Chrome has a checker inside the Chrome Developer Console called Lighthouse. You will provide a nice report with issues that will be very easy to solve for you as a professional developer with clients.
