    Sorry to say this but there really is no magic bullet for all your problems. Each of those items is something that you have to work on individually and the solution will differ depending on your setup.

    I imagine though that optimizing images and enabling compression are two easy fixes.

    There are few tips that could aid you to magnify your website's page speed. They are;
    1. Optimize images: By compressing the image size
    2. CSS/JS/HTML: Minify the codes
    3. Don't comment the codes. Google reads it as a code
    4. Create Cache & Cookies
    5. Use latest server version
    6. Always update your wordpress & all the plugins used

    Use W3 cache, decrease loader size as well.

    I think that the following are the important to increase page speed of a wordpress website:
    • Select a good host
    • Using of effective cash plugin and content delivery network (CDN)
    • Optimizing images of website and wordpress database (Remove inactive plugins and widgets and reduce file size of an image)
    • You should optimize your homepage to load quickly (Remove spam, post revisions, drafts, tables, etc.)
    I hope these will help you a lot. Thanks

    Things you can do:
    • Use a caching plugin
    • Use a image optimizer or plugin
    • Don't upload large images
    • Add code to your htaccess to force browser caching
    • Sign up for a CDN service

    In the end you have to decide how important this issue is for your website. Because adding all these things will make maintaining your website more complicated. So, start with the simplest ones and go from there.

        Since I cannot cover all the steps needed here, I will just give you the link to my step-by-step guide on how to integrate a CDN with WordPress.

        The settings will differ from service to service, so if you use another company, the configuration process will be slightly different. The above guide covers how to integrate KeyCDN with WordPress (the CDN service I use for my blog).

    - The browser caching can be obtained with the help of a caching plugin (I use W3 Total Cache for this task).

    - Optimize images refers to the fact that your images can be compressed to have their size reduced (this will save you disk space and bandwidth).
    I use a WordPress plugin called "Optimus" for this task.

    -Reduce server response time - This can be the fault of your web hosting server. If your site is hosted on an overcrowded server or a free plan that will affect the speed of your site and its response time.

    - Enable compression - This refers to the gzip compression. You can enable this with a plugin or from the .htaccess file from the root of your WordPress directory. I use W3 Total Cache for my site, which also has an option for enabling the gzip compression (Performance->Browser Cache->Enable HTTP (gzip) compression ).

    -Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content - This is a bit trickier to fix. You'll have to execute site's loaded assets to wp_footer (or use async). However, you need to maintain a specific order. Otherwise, your site will receive JavaScript errors and some elements will break.

    There are also other optimizations you can do to your site and I've just written a guide on this topic recently, called "How to speed up WordPress (without being a programmer)."

    Hi,
    There are lots of methods already describe. If you have no time or don't understand how to solve it. So please go to any freelance site and hire a WordPress developer. They will fix your website issues very professionally and carefully. But please hire only good reputation developer by reviews.

    Thank you.
