Always use Optimized Images

When images with high megabytes are uploaded to a site and a visitor tries to load that page, the page will load very slow and will take many megabytes to load the image.
To cut down the excessive megabyte exhaustion and decrease in website speed, highly optimized images should be used.
Images with Webp extension are preferably used as it usually has low weight and can load very fast.

Reduce Website Ads
For some website that uses ads as their source of income, placing many advert codes on a website can slow down website speed, indirectly reducing site ranking.

The ads come in various sizes such as banner ads, text and video advertisements, graphic ads, and more no matter the type of ads being displayed it can reduce website speed.

Use Cloudflare CDN
Content Delivery Network, which is abbreviated as CDN is a great tool in increasing website speed, this tool work by caching your website to its own custom server so that when a visitor tries to access your website, the CDN will display the Cached version of your blog to the visitor even before your website will load completely.
