Hey, If you are are looking to improve your website loading speed you can do few things and optimise it.
First of all, visit Pingdom
It is a free online tool that allows you to test your website’s speed from different locations.
Now once you are done with analysing your website speed, you can now follow the process of website speed optimisation.
There are some things that make your website slow such as your web hosting, WordPress Configuration, page size, External scripts and plugins.
Use Good Hosting: Always use good quality managed WordPress hosting such as WP Engine or Namecheap.
Use a Cache Plugin : Caching can make your WordPress site anywhere from 2x to 5x faster. Read the guide from here to use a cache plugin.
Optimize Images: You should always optimize your website images that will help to reduce the image size and thus the page size that helps to load your website faster.
Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN): Always use a content delivery network to optimize your WordPress website speed. You can use Maxcdn or Cloudflare for good CDN.
Reduce External HTTP Requests: You can reduce all these external HTTP requests by disabling scripts and styles or merging them into one file.
Optimize WordPress Database: After using WordPress for a while, your database will have lots of information that you probably don’t need anymore. For improved performance, you can optimize your database to get rid of all that unnecessary information. Use Any WordPress Database Optimizer plugin such as wp sweep to optimize your WordPress Database.
