The smaller the homepage (number of bytes to download) the longer the time to load.
The slower your own coding that's executed to fully download the homepage and the server it runs on, the longer the time to load.
So that are 2 things to optimize.
Making a site responsive generally means a full recoding in a suitable framework.

Visiting a website, everyone expects a convenient user experience. One the primary factors for user satisfaction is website loading speed. If your platform is slow, the bounce rates can increase.
The website speed depends on the quantity of media files, installed themes and plugins, and server-side scripts. Moreover, it influences your site ranking in Google.
To evaluate the quality of loading, you can use Google PageSpeed Insights. With it, you can measure your website performance on desktop and mobile devices.
So, if your platform is really slow, try to implement the following practicies:
1. Choose a performance-focused hosting provider
2. Reduce the number of redirects and avoid unnecessary ones
3. Adjust your images weght by optimizing their size and formats
4. Use browser caching
5. Optimize CSS, JavaScript, and HTML

There are many ways to speed up a website:
Reduce image size: Large images can significantly slow down your website. Use image compression tools to reduce the file size of your images without compromising quality.
Minimize HTTP requests: Reduce the number of HTTP requests required to load your website by minimizing the number of scripts, style sheets, and other resources.
Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN): A CDN can help speed up your website by caching content on servers around the world, reducing the distance between your website and your visitors.
Enable browser caching: Enable caching to allow the browser to store certain website files so that they don't need to be downloaded every time a user visits your website.
Minimize code and remove unnecessary plugins:
If you are using a WordPress website then you have to remove unnecessary plugins. Because they can slow down your website speed.
Optimize your database: Optimize your database by cleaning up unnecessary data and optimizing tables.
Use a faster web host: Choose a web host that offers faster loading times. Faster web host helps to load in milliseconds.
