Made a shift from Elementor to WordPress’ default Block Builder.
But that’s just one aspect I’ve worked on to improve the website’s speed.
As you can see in the screenshot [here]) \- It’s not where it should be.
What can be done to improve the website’s performance further?!
Especially – to improve FCP & TTFB?!
**Additional Details:**
**Hosting:** Namecheap
**PHP:** Latest, just updated (if that matters at all, not sure)
**Image Compression:** via TinyPNG.com
Also – I’m using NameCheap’s *Stellar Plus* Sharing Hosting Account – which is shared by 5 Domains.
Does this slow down the website’s speed too?! Should I use different accounts for different domains, so it’s not shared with one Hosting?!
Thanks.

I wrote a post on this, see below.
Image compression is good and removing extra requests but you could also do several things to improve. Read here, [https://betterdeveloperdocs.com/how-to-make-your-wordpress-site-faster/])
I haven’t added one bit not I thing about it which is to add compression at the server level. You could try find ‘gzip compression’ on your Name cheap account.
First Contentful Paint: Depends on what exactly is slowing it down; could a large media file, a font library, js script or library or some other 3rd party source. For images and fonts we use [preloading]). For scripts we use [defer]).
Largest Contentful Paint is the instance when the largest image or text that is required for the page to start rendering loaded. It is everything loading before this item that needs to be addressed, if possible (sometimes you have to have a script load early, like the google tag manager script.)
If you work your way down the Lighthouse audit you should come to a list that tells you what specific items are impacting your FCP and LCP.
Talk with your server team. Either there is an issue with a poorly constructed plugin/theme causing a high ttfb or an issue server side with caching. Fixing the ttfb will give you an a score and bump your performance into the up 90’s percent wise. After that, pre load your lcp if you haven’t already. Boom. Good to go.
A CDN would help your TFB — I’d strongly consider wiring up a free Cloudflare account to start. 🙂
