1.    Find your bottleneck first
2.    Slow server response time (TTFB)
3.    Render-blocking JavaScript and CSS
4.    Large image and video files
5.    Third-party scripts
6.    Slow interactions and a blocked main thread
7.    Unoptimised JavaScript
8.    Unoptimised CSS
9.    Web fonts
10.    Plugins, themes, and page builders
11.    Aggressive bot and AI crawler traffic
12.    Make speed a team habit
