Ooh okay... nice

I would recommend best alternatives or similar hosting to Siteground is:
1. MDD hosting

Currently I am using Crocweb Hosting which is a Canada based hosting provider and are pretty good at the cheapest option. (You can find recommendations from webhostingtalk forum too)

For optimization, the Litespeed cache plugin is the best to achieve best result (even better than WP Rocket) but many lengthy process for many customizations. I am using WP Rocket currently for its simple setup.

Use Shortpixel AI plugin for image optimization. Its the best I found as per the compression level. WP smush and imagify doesnt optimize the images to this extent. Also Shortpixel AI has CDN service for images.

Use Perfmatters plugin for better optimization result. Very useful.

Use gravityforms or Wp forms instead of Contact form 7 as contact 7 uses javascipt which adds load.

Use Sucuri Security plugin for more security of your wordpress installation without any load to the install. Its the best plugin out there.

Make sure to give it a try SwiftPerfomance
