Pace20 Firstly, you should check the speed of your website. The nest step - to make a website audit to identify bottlenecks and then solve them.
Or try to compress the code. Minifying the code helps to diminish any code from its original size to the smallest probable size, without changing the code’s operations.Also, keep your images small, but don’t forget to maintain quality.

Where do you think the slowness is coming from? Is it your internet connection/speed? Is it the age of your client? Or is it due to an app that is running poorly or making too many queries or multiple queries built into a loop? Is it the page loading time? Is it the response to the user's actions? Is it php-induced? Is it a huge html-only page that downloads too slowly?

So many possibilities. You really have to think about this.

I did some of the optimizations for my site. What can be done for the rest?

Eliminate render-blocking resources
Do image optimization
Minimize redirects
Use browser caching
Make fewer HTTP requests
Implement Gzip compression

The most relevant technique is by reducing the size of the page. Use only related data to your website. In the last take concern with any company related to the website developing.

Another way to improve the performance of your website is to use a static site generator like Jekyll, Hugo, Nuxt and others. If you have a WordPress site, you can use it as a headless CMS. I recently migrated my site from WordPress to gatsbyjs and got 100% Lighthouse score for every metric. That's a pretty good performance boost in my book).

Additionally, your website becomes a PWA that can work offline and be installed on the home screen. So, give it a try, in any case, pre-built static pages work really realllly fast🙂.

Compress the images and optimize it from SEO point of view. Make sure to minify CSS, JavaScript, and reduce redirects.

There are several effective crucial ways to speed up a website:

minimization of JavaScript and CSS files - merging and minifying CSS and JS files can be a great solution, contribution to Magento website speed optimization aimed at helping to lighten the web page load. To that end, the total number of HTTP requests will also be reduced;
optimization of the image size and format - There are various ways to optimize the file size of your website’s images while maintaining its quality. You can use command-line tools, such as gifsicle, jpegtran and optipng. Most likely, your hosting service already has it;
usage of Full Page Cache technology that is natively supported via Varnish (for a Magento website); for a WordPress site - caching plugins (the most popular option), browser (browser caching), or server (server caching); for a Shopify website - caching extensions, browser caching;
optimization of your website database;
decrease in the number of custom fonts, styles, and scripts. In Magento, for example, you will do it manually; in WooCommerce/WordPress you can use a special plugin - WooCommerce Speed Drain Repair;
server optimization;
reducing page size via reducing the number of files on the page, code minification, optimizing images, or implementing a Lazy Loading technique (for a Shopify website);
cutting down the number of homepage slides you employ, or even eliminating them entirely;

The way to speed up a web site is to first find out where/why it is slow, then address those issues. Just trying random "solutions" is like throwing darts in the general direction of a dartboard and hoping one of them hits the bullseye. Search for the various tools out there than can show you what is taking time on your specific web pages -- and if it includes delays on the server side, then you'll need server-side tools to determine where your application/database needs to be tweaked.

Measure first, then optimize based on those measurements. Locate the bullseye, then directly place your dart in it, rather than hoping.
