There are a lot of ways to improve your site speed. Using a Caching plugin is another popular method.
However, the problem with Caching plugin is that it may have conflicts with other plugins to cause more issues on your site. Also, you have to deactivate the caching plugin every time when you want to edit your site.
Another downside of a caching plugin is that it only solve the site speed issue after the page has been loaded once. If you're confused by how caching plugin works, you may refer to this post or you can do a simple search online.
My main point here is that I believe image size is the major problem for most people with a slow website. That's why I want to share what I did and am doing every time when I upload new images.
I've personally seen real results on my website. This may not work for everyone because I don't know the exact problem your site is facing. If my strategy doesn't work on your end, you can always contact SiteSupport. I'm sure they'll do their best to help you :)

Do you mean if deleting the unused stuffs affects SEO?
For those published posts & pages, if your original setting is to have trackbacks and pingbacks turned on, you have to edit it one by one.
You can only change the setting for all your future contents in the WordPress Discussion setting page.
Thanks for the info, I will use this stuff to speed up the site.
Do you think Thrive makes the site run slowly at all? I dont think so, just curious your thoughts.

Basically, they have both pros and cons. But many believe that they are dead today. Check it out yourself :) I'm also learning at the same time!
As for Thrive Themes and its plugins, I know they have huge file sizes. However, they work great on my end. Maybe because their products are well-coded.
There are some people having issue with Thrive products but I don't know much about that because it doesn't happen on my end. If you have any issue, you should approach SiteSupport and Thrive Support!
