An expert would need admin access to your site to see what can be optimised, and possibly do it for you. A forum isn’t a good way to do that.

I can certainly provide you with some general advice that may help you address performance issues. Here are some steps you can consider:

Optimize Images: Large images can significantly slow down your website. Make sure to compress and properly size your images before uploading them to WordPress. You can also use image optimization plugins like Smush or ShortPixel to automate this process.

Minimize Plugins: Excessive plugins can bloat your website and negatively impact performance. Review your installed plugins and deactivate or remove any that are unnecessary. Keep only the essential ones and ensure they are up to date.

Choose a Fast Hosting Provider: Your web hosting plays a crucial role in website speed. Consider upgrading to a high-performance hosting provider, especially one that specializes in WordPress hosting. Managed WordPress hosting services often offer better performance and support.

Content Delivery Network (CDN): Implement a CDN service like Cloudflare or StackPath. CDNs distribute your website’s content across multiple servers globally, reducing load times for visitors from different locations.

Browser Caching: Ensure that browser caching is correctly configured in WP Rocket. This helps store static resources like images and stylesheets in visitors’ browsers, reducing server requests.

Database Optimization: Regularly clean up your WordPress database by removing unnecessary data, such as post revisions and spam comments. You can use plugins like WP-Optimize or WP-Sweep for this purpose.

Lazy Loading: Enable lazy loading for images and videos. This ensures that media content is only loaded when the user scrolls to it, reducing initial page load times.

Reduce External HTTP Requests: Minimize the number of external resources like external scripts, fonts, or stylesheets. Each additional HTTP request can slow down your site.

Monitor and Analyze: Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to identify specific performance bottlenecks on your website. These tools provide recommendations tailored to your site’s issues.

Content Delivery Optimization: Optimize your website content for faster loading. This includes optimizing code, using efficient themes, and reducing the use of heavy animations or multimedia elements.

Try optimizing your images by compressing them without compromising quality. You can also use lazy loading to load images only as they are needed, reducing initial load time.
