There are several factors that could be influencing the speed of your website.   

Hosting environment 

Using a shared hosting provider or a hosting company that is not optimised for WordPress will impact your sites performance.

We recommend WP Engine as the primary go-to solution for your WordPress Website. 

Plugins 

Having too many plugins installed also affects the performance of your site.   

Images  

Images not optimised to be used on the web are a detriment to page load speeds 

Please take a look at this plugin to optimise the size of your images without the loss of quality integrity.

Using a cache plugin

Caching plugins address this issue by creating a static version of your content and delivering it to visitors. This can reduce your page loading time significantly. You could see an improvement in overall website performance of around ten times.  

W3 Total Cache 

Using a Content Delivery Network Resource  

CDN reduces hops and lowers latency for your website and also allows users to load your site from the nearest available server to them which results in faster loading times of your website to the end user. 

A great CDN provider is Cloudflare   

I hope this information will be beneficial to you to aid you in increasing your websites speed and performance.

Please let me know if there are any more questions that I may answer for you.

Cheers!
