Eliminate needless JavaScript

Avoid the usage of render-blocking JavaScript and external scripts in your site’s framework. If there are scripts that does not need to be immediately rendered, accomplish the first one before doing the scripts. The logic is to have a speedy page, the volume of the content should be small in terms of volume and velocity.

Benefit from browser caching

In each user’s visit to a site, it assembles cache that has data about style sheets, images, JavaScript and more. So when a user comes again, it will not reload the complete page. This gives the page speed more advantages of saving on time and effort.

Boost the server response time

When you examine the response time, there are a lot of elements that may impact its rate from the number of traffic your site gets to the sort of software your server utilizes.
Roughly, your goal should be at least a time below 200ms. You have to look out for the inadequacy or slowness of the database requests, routing or memory deficiency.

All the images should be optimized

Do the correct size and file format. Compress your images before you even import to serve your web purposes. A lot of images in your site can cause your page loading time to be slower.

Reduce the pointless white space

White space, comment tags, line returns, text and HTML can collectively gather and expand the page size by 10 to 20%. In turn, the increase will negatively affect your website speed. The wise thing to do is to go over your pages and codes subtract unnecessary spaces and codes for a better speed performance.
