That that pagespeed stuff with a grain of salt.
You can get poor scores on those tests and still have a really fast site.
In the end, what really matters is how long your site takes to load.
There's a lot of low-hanging fruit you can probably grab, but after that for most cases you quickly reach a point of diminishing returns.
Your web host has A LOT to do with your site speed. With a good host, you can skip a lot of the optimization stuff and still be fine.
For WordPress sites my favorite caching/performance optimization plugin is https://wp-rocket.me/. It's not free, but it's easy to use, very well supported, and works great.
Use that in conjunction with an image optimization plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp… and you should be pretty good.
That's what I do for all the sites that I manage.
- Yeah, I concur. It's mostly uneducated clients simply running speed test independently and getting lacklustre results; not knowing what they mean...ideaist
