Optimise your main files like HTML, CSS and JS by eliminating superfluous comments, codes, formatting and whitespaces

Load the CSS and JavaScript files in asynchronous mode,i.e. loading a number of pages at a time

Hold off loading of bigger JavaScript files; this ensures that the other components of the website is completely loaded before loading the JavaScript files as they are larger in size

Minimise the server response time; DNS lookup can take the largest amount of time and determine how fast or slow your webpage takes to load

Get a check on the type of hosting you are using for your website. Shared hosting being the cheapest option, VPS hosting and dedicated server based hosting can probably give better results
