Check with your hosting site first. Then try to use a lightweight WordPress theme or framework. Reduce the image size, without drastically decreasing the quality. You can use the WP Smush plugin on your WordPress site. Hope this helps to speed up your site.

This could have to do with what is being displayed on your page as well. Remember that if you have a lot of images that are large in size and of a good quality then it is likely to take longer to load as it uses more data from teh internet service provider. However if you have a more streamline site, then it can load quicker. Also perhaps you might want to consider what add ons you have on the site as well.

Here are some ways to speed up your WordPress:

• Deactivate or uninstall the unwanted plugins.
• Delete unwanted database.
• Enable GZIP Compression. It will save a lot of disc space.

I think that the one thing that gets very hard to do if you are new to wordpress is trying to understand the manner in which uninstalling plug ins will actually affect your site, because if you are new, and this could just be for me personally, i feel uneasy about uninstalling anything on the webpage just in case it results in a chain reaction that causes damage to the website and renders in unusable. There is no simple way to undo these decisions once you save them.

Something I always check first is my server. If you don't have your own, you will want to check your host. If things look good there, then look at your active plugins. Sometimes outdated ones will slow down a website. You want to make sure ALL pictures are compressed. This can affect load speeds by as much as 5 seconds.

Setting up your own server can be very difficult especially if you are new to all of these different types of coding platforms. And I think that the amount of maintenance and security that goes into it as well can make it quite difficult. Compressing all pictures is a good way though, however there are platforms that you can use to reduce the size of a picture without losing too much quality so you still maintain the integrity of the site.

Use lightweight theme, limit plugin usage, limit embedded content, avoid using too many pictures and if you have to use a lot of pictures make sure to optimize your pictures. These strategies will surely help your website run in a great speed. using CDN will also improve your wordpress website performance.
