So:
1. Do you have a decent hosting? If not, buy one.
2. Compress images.
3. Uninstall unused plugins.
4. Install the Surge plugin (or any other cache plugin). Why Surge? Because it is free and it's very light.
This is just a summary of what you must do, in order to increase the site performance. There is a ton of work to do, but if you apply (at least) the recommendations above, the score will increase.
Your GTmetrix stats are simply awful.
This is one of my projects (low effort site, not even something complex):

Damnnn thats pretty good
I would just WPRocket it most settings on optimization
then for preloading font add this line add the line of font that you saw from GTMetrix or Google Page Speed Insights
then pegagsus crtical css lookup and add it into CSS Fallback section on WPRocket
BunnyCDN if you dont have one
To reduce unused Javascript get those wordpress plugins to disable plugins and js on certain pages where you dont need them (PerfMatters)

To be quite honest, their metrics aren't that great, especially when it comes to the performance part which is very important for the ranking. Also, LCP is a bit problematic which means that elements don't load fast enough and you would need to work on fixing that.

Keep your website simple. Limit articles and other stuff on home page and other pages. For example, let's say there are 5 articles on the main page. You can apply this to anything. Also, you'd better use wprocket. You can also use webp plugin to compress images. You can use Cloudflare dns. All of these are available on the internet. How to do it is explained on youtube.

Your LCP is taking 3-5 secs which is bad. My sites won't be this slow even on shared hosting. You can improve these metrics to a great extent simply by installing a cache plugin like WP-Rocket.

What about CloudFlare, couldn't that benefit his website?

Well, Google only looks at their pagespeed scores, so retest on pagespeed which will give you a proper loading speed score

It takes 2.9 seconds on average to load your site, which makes it faster than approximately half of the web. It takes 1.7 seconds to load, which makes it faster than 75%, and it takes 0.8 seconds to load, which makes it faster than approximately 94% of the web.
