Not sure if this is the right forum to post this. We are looking to improve the speed of our [custom website] to rank higher on google. Can anyone guide us on how this could be done?

At 3.3 seconds you have your work cut out for you. Most of that looks self-inflicted.

You can reduce external HTTP requests if you have an abundance to boost your website speed. Many WordPress plugins and themes load all kinds of files from other websites. These files can include scripts, stylesheets, and images from external resources like Google, Facebook, analytics services. It could slow down your website significantly.
