WordPress Load Speed Issue

Hi We have been using Google PageSpeed Insights to check out our site performance.

Weve installed and configured Cache Plugin, but still no luck. Our site page speed score is 60/100 for mobile & 71/100 for desktop; we want it 80+/100.

We also implemented .htaccess best practice for speed & performance optimization. We still getting following improvemenet suggestions summary:
  • Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
  • Leverage browser caching
  • Minify JavaScript
  • Reduce server response time

https://developers.google.com/speed/...pajamas.com%2F

Any advise will be very gratefully received.
Many Thanks
Sohel

    These are technical aspects related to your WordPress theme/plugins and hosting.

    Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
    Ideally all the javascript script tags should be placed in the footer so that it does not stop HTML rendering when the page is loading.
    Only essential above the fold CSS should be placed in the header and it should be inline. All the other CSS should be combined in one file and it should be loaded from footer.

    Minify JavaScript
    Ideally all the javascript files should be compressed (minified) before the website goes live. It reduces file size. Also combining different javascript files into one file will reduce server connections, hence improving page load performance.

    Reduce server response time
    Google considers a response time of over 200ms as a slow server. You may consider getting a better hosting package if your current response time is too slow.
