Hey Guys!
I've tried plenty of plugins to speed up my WP. Well, It was enhanced a little bit from 40 - 66. The Issue is: I checked a lot of page speed metrics, and the same results came back with image optimizing. I used EWWW Image Optimizer and plugins likewise. I rescaled the existed images on my website that those metrics asked for to optimize, yet nothing's happening.
Another thing I'm struggling, When I analyze my site on Google Page speed without opening my website, the results 40 - 45. When I analyze when the website is opened on the browser the results come high 70 - 75.

Please Help me and for the record, I don't know coding

    Getting confused with your numbers. Plugins could slow down your site as well.
    Check ur site with this tool and have a close look. Everything above 3 sec is too slow - the reason will be listed there.

    Here are few other things that you could do.
    Before uploading images upload them over tinypng and compress them up.
    Move all your scripts to footer so load faster
    Remove google fonts
    Use Cache plugins like Wp-rocket, Wpcache

    Also make sure if you have loads of ads then they could easily increase the load speed.

    Apart from minimizing css, javascript, html, installing plugins such as EWWW Image Optimizer, Wp smush, w3, super cache, lazy load, hearthbeat api, gzip compression and other plugins you could try to do this as well:


    The Expires header is a way to specify a period of storing/keeping/caching the static contet of the website (CSS, Javascript, images, etc.) in the visitors' browsers.
    This will significantly cut down the website load time for your regular visitors. Just copy and paste the following code in your root .htaccess file:


    ExpiresActive on

    ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 60 days"
    ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 60 days"
    ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 60 days"
    ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 60 days"

    ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 2 weeks"
    ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 2 weeks"

    ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType audio/x-wav "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType audio/mpeg "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType video/mpeg "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType video/mp4 "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType video/quicktime "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType video/x-ms-wmv "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month"

    ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 2 weeks"
    ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 2 weeks"
    ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 2 weeks"


    The values can be changed according to your specific requirements.



    Also the cPanel includes the "optimize website function". It uses Apache's mod_deflate to compress content before sending it to the visitor's browser. To compress this files you will have to go to your cpanel and look for "Optimize website" and then click on "compress all".


    Another thing you could try is optimizing your DB which can be really useful for a WordPress website. Go to phpMyAdmin in your cpanel, you will see a "database optimization" function. Select the corresponding database, then click on "check all" and select "optimize table".

    There are many others thing you can try as well but you can start with this ones to see if you are getting some improvements...
