Things you can do include:
Show only quotes instead of full model posts
Reduce the number of posts on the front page (I like to show between 8-10 posts)
Remove unnecessary widgets on your website or blog
Remove inactive plugins and unnecessary widgets
Create a minimalist, because your visitors come for content, not to see widgets.
Overall, a clean and focused homepage design will help your page not only look good, but also load faster.

I definitely get a lot of usage of the word "optimize" in this post! To do this you can use the WP-Optimize plugin. This plugin lets you perform just one simple task: optimizing your database (spam, post revision, drafts, tables, etc.) to reduce overhead on your wordpress database. This plugin is free and really helps you in database optimization. But if you use WP-Rocket paid plugin, then you no longer need to install this plugin because it already has this feature in it.
