After doing all that, you must clear the cache and logoff (i hope you do not cache logged IN users). Then visit your site with F12 console active and see for js or other ERRORS (not warnings, just select errors).
If you are ok, then good. If there are errors, those js (usually js but sometimes css also) must be excluded.
I have done all of that and followed your instructions 🙂
It seems a little faster, no errors as far as I can tell

Actually the scores are worst now for some reason. The https requests are down to 50-55 but the performance is below 40% (per gt metrix).
@dimalifragis what should i do man? go back to FC
That means (IMHO) that there is nothing more you can do to optimize your Wordpress site. But gVector guys can comment please on this.
What are your next steps? Two alternives you can consider.
1. Migrate to a powerfull hosting plan/server and be done with it
or
2. Try to remove things not so important to make things faster. Some plugins not so important and not for the users (so they will not miss them), like (example) Google Analytics, wpForo statics at the bottom, wpForo details on each topic/post who viewed and when and who is viewing, etc etc.
What kind of hosting plan do you use? Any details for it?
@dimalifragis A2 hosting prestige plus is what im on now.
The site has a 2 second lod time, which isnt so bad, but the gtmetrix stats say other wise lol

So it it is ok then why you want to make it faster? I don't get it. I checked it also and it is OK. Nothing to write home about, but OK.
This is also giving you an F and 4-6 seconds for full loaded page.

I would leave things as they are and at some point i would upgrade my hosting. Nothing can beat a fast hosting. It is about how much you have to spend.
I have deactivated the autoptimise and gone back to FC 🙂

See how important is a good hosting for speed.
@dimalifragis What hosting would you recommend mate?
Well i'm sorry but i can't recomment hosting and ... doctors, since i have been burned several times.
@dimalifragis same 😉 lol
I think im gonna give WP rocket a shot. Render blocking resources seem to be a problem so if i can get round that it might give better rankings?
Thanks agai for your help mate!

This would be a total waste of money.
@dimalifragis it wont be if it gets rid of render blocking resources lol

Well GT Metrix says your server response is somehow not that fast, so i doubt you will get any better results using ANY plugin for that.
Render optimization optimization support is also included in Litespeed cache, if i remember correctly. Along with many other things, like http2 push etc etc. But i guess you have tried all that.
@dimalifragis Tried everything i think mate, just want to make google happy lol.
Im going to look into a faster server then 🙂 Thanks for all your time and patience here man, I really appreciate it
@dimalifragis just want to make google happy lol.
This is actually funny (not you but google) because half of my load in my pages is due to google adsense and analytics..... but Google wants us to be fast, go figure ...
Morning mate, I am looking at a new hosting plant today, and my host is recommending "Mach 8", can you take a look and tell me what you think if thats ok?

What kind of plan you have NOW?
(that TURBO BOOST page caching .... makes me wonder if it will work right ....)
If you have Cpanel, check your 30 days back chart for Rescource Usage. What does it say ? Where is the load? CPU? DB? Entry processes? Memory?
IN Cpanel there are SNAPSHOTS for days that you have abused your performance? What are they saying those Snapshots?
I tried finiding it but i dont think they have it any more. Its called prestige plus.
I spoke with the host this morning and they said this would be a good upgrade

What to do pay each month? You should find the new same plan according to price (approx).
You must find where your plan suffers and then select a new one.

This is what you have:
Prestige Plus
• 6GB of RAM.
• 100 Gb of raid-10 storage.
• 3 TB transfer.
• 6 virtual CPUs.
• The monthly price is 46.19 dollars.
@dimalifragis that sounds right 🙂
@dimalifragis that sounds right 🙂
Ok then check your Cpanel as i posted above to see what is the cause of slowdowns. 7 days back, 30 days back, Snapshots.
WHY are they suggesting that plan? Do they know what is wrong? Do you need CPU ? Faster db / disk transfers?
Do you have anyone to consult you that knows all that?
@dimalifragis I just said my server response time seems to be crap on GTmetrix scores, how can I do better....
My plan is up for renewal soon, so I thought I mgiht as well upgrade when I do it?

Server responce can be slow due to CPU, due to db, due to disk access. If you do not pinpoint the cause, you will never solve your issues.
Other than that, i can't help more on this. I see from your topics history that slowness is a long standing issue.

I will get this info to you later 🙂 Thanks again for your help
