If pictures are the problem, my suggestions are:
– less pictures
– smaller pictures
– use a CDN for the pictures

So those pictures.

Speed is a factor of size when it comes to delivery of web content.

When it comes to increase the speed of website, there are multiple things to consider even before building the website. Yeah, Here are these:

1- Lightweight theme
2- Lightweight Plugins
3- Best hosting
After Building the Website:

1- Images Optimization
2- Less size images in suitable version like Webp
3- Reduce the Extra CSS files
4-Remove unnecessary render blocking JavaScript files
5- Reduce redirects as much as you can.
And many more but these are enough to be optimized to take the speed up.

As i did apply these points on one of my site and got the best results
