Well, like the topic says, if one had to do a speed optimization on the homepage only, what would be your strategy?
I'm used to do speed optimizations, but on the whole site, not just the homepage, so ideas are welcome.
It would be on Divi.
Thanks.

You can use Perfmatters. Enable Script Manager and you can disabale certain CSS and JS files from loading on the homepage if you don't need them.

It was one of my first ideas actually, and I'll go back to it eventually.
The problem is that it doesn't cache files, for which I'm using WP Rocket right now with a ton of rules, but that's why I posted here to get feedback from other people, as the budget isn't unlimited.
Thanks (It's pretty weird to optimize only the homepage tbh)

Well, I've tested their services of copying other pages around the web, but never that plugin.
I'll give it a shot, thanks!

I`m not familiar with wordpress but SSG or SSR will increase your speed many fold.

Then :
1. Use CDN for all static contents to cache
2. Lazy load images.
3. Use less Javascript.

Unfortunately, it is for a client who has an agency, which means he is not even the final client, meaning that some solutions are not possible to implement.
The other issue lies in the expectations.
Anyway, thanks
