Hello WA,
Here is a quick tip to get your website at its peak speeds for loading and proper caching, this is something that I have fought with for a while.
As I use the Divi theme because of how user-freindly it is but with that said, it can hurt your website loading speed.
This has been the only thing to help me get and maintain proper website loading times and user experience.
Site Main Page:
Don't forget to check all of your pages, not just the main URL.
Here is example of another page on this site but all of them are Grade A except the main landing page which is the eye catcher.
I hope you find this helpful,
Shane

Interesting Shane
I run Divi on all my sites and don't use any speed or cache plugins and have amazing speeds (Image attached)
I do have them hosted here though and I do have SiteSpeed activated SiteSpeed - Taking WordPress Website Speed into Unchartered Territory!

How strange, site speed doesn't work with my divi theme, I had to switch it off!
I was thinking of changing host, but I might try the plugin Shane has recommended and see if that helps.

Been there a few times, they are the ones who turned it off in the end, apparently, sitespeed has issues with the studioprees themes too.

Last time was a month ago i guess, it's been an issue for a while now, made a few complaints, Carson had a try too but never really managed to speed my site up...Still takes close to 4 sec's to load :(

Keep in mind, I use a lot of JavaScript to catch the readers attention,
Example:
https://onlineplcsupport.com/
So using standard methods will not help site speed, you have to use the plugin I recommended.

And keep in mind, I had the WA Sitespeed on the whole time and it did not help until I did this plugin, I used to use Fastest Cache, W3 Total, and several others and they didn't help near as much as what I described.
There is no way you have a well designed site with good site speed with Divi and not use a plugin like this.
I have another site hosted at Siteground with Cloudflare and it didn't help speed until I added this plugin so if you have good hosting like here at WA then this is my recommendation.

Hi Shane. I have WP Rocket but it is not activated. I thought about activating it for this purpose before I saw this but hesitant because I didn't want to add another plug in to my site as I am approaching too many (at least for what I've read is a recommended number of plug-ins).
I may go ahead now and activate it and try this though since my my last check with site speed was not very good.
Thanks.
