well.. this is a very board topic... sometime unnecessary webscript may bogged down the webpage itself

does it make a significant difference for small content light blogs?

In an article from Crazyegg mentioned that:

\" A one-second delay in page load time yields:

11% fewer page views
16% decrease in customer satisfaction
7% loss in conversions

A few extra seconds could have a huge impact on your ability to engage visitors and make sales. \"

So, you can see, the score from the top is the lowest. (the red colour).

From the result, we know the image we used is need to be scaled. You can scale by using the simple step from WordPress backend.(by: edit image)

I give you the plugin use for compressing image ->> TinyPNG. 
I found this tool is very useful for compressing image but it has limited quota in a month.

I think thats all for now. I hope this is useful for you.

Please share your suggestion more about speeding website.. Thank you.

Thank you.

Just go for solid VPS hosting at least and install some image optimisation plugins, caching plugins with minifying script capabilities and you will be set forever. As well as if possible use even that cloud hosting solution, not sure how faster it will make website. In fact sometimes slower cause of all that checks.

exactly, VPS to host for WP website is getting more and more popular

However, you can also consider to get some of those higher specs Shared Hosting to run your WP website efficiently
- SSD Disk
- Higher Memory allocation
- http/2 & NGINX
- LiteSpeed
- etc

So that you only really manage your website instead of need to manage the entire VPS (if you are still not that familiar even on WP).

Well, another way to speed up a website is to use a hosting service that provides the fastest response time. This is often overlooked by many people.

You can check out the speed test tool for your website and hosting at https://www.bitcatcha.com.my/

The tool will test out your server speed against Google's recommended server response time.

Try not to install many plugins
Keep the images optimized
Make least https requests
add expires headers

You can also check the speed through various tools available online which also provides you the recommendation on how to improve the speed.
