Basically optimizing your database is essential. As WordPress keeps a backup for every draft. -Install a caching plugin Most effective is to install a caching plugin for example W3 TOTAL CACHE OR WP SUPER CACHE.

It reduces MySQL access, HTTP requests, number of PHP requests. -Use CDN (Content Delivery Network) Essentially, a CDN, or content delivery network, takes all your static files you’ve got on your site (CSS, JavaScript and images etc.) and lets visitors download them as fast as possible by serving the files on servers as close to them as possible. -Remove old post revisions MEDIA CLEANER plugin. This plugin will automatically find and delete any unused media files in your library. It will look for documents that don't show up on any pages or posts and place them in a trash bin. This empowers you to deal with them and save files you need to keep regardless of whether they're not utilized on the site.
-Use responsive design Sites that use responsive web design, i.e. sites that serve all devices on the same set of URLs, with each URL serving the same HTML to all devices and using just CSS to change how the page is rendered on the device. This is Google’s recommended configuration. -WordPress/plugins/themes upgrades also important Keeping your plugins, themes and WordPress update.

Hence, keep in mind that speed isn't all that matters. The objective is dependably to make amazing sites that serve guests in the most ideal way imaginable. Your page loading speed is only one factor among others.
