Since I implemented Astra Pro as my theme, my site slowed down (www.tourdesksplit.com), performance grade is 76 only. Is there a fix to it – WP Rocket plugin maybe? Any feedback would be highly appreciated, thank you!

Dont use astra
There is so much at play here.
First off straight off the bat, Test results from mobile devices will always be slower than test results from desktops.
Not only that, but a lot of those mobile tests are based on 4G networks and even 3 G networks.
In addition, they are not using state of the art iPhones for their testing, most likely using your average android or cheap and older model iPhones.
With that said, AstraPro is among the fastest themes out there.
A friend of mine has a WordPress themed website for fun which uses 3 Elementor Plugins and Has many many high quality images on the front page and his site loads in 0.2 Seconds So his site loads in about 240 MILLISECONDS.
He has an article on how to improve WordPress site speeds which is very very comprehensive but then again you only need to attack the areas in which you are lacking, he site is still work in progress because he has a 2 full time jobs but it is very very informative and you will be able to significantly improve your sites speed.

I ran your site through GTMetrix and the main issues are poor hosting and the unoptimized image you are using in your footer.
Your host takes over 1 second to start the process of displaying your site. And the footer image is taking 3 seconds to render.
You can optimize your images with any of the free services. You can also add a CDN or change to a better host to increase the loading speed.
I would bet it’s poor hosting…
