Above comment is 100% true.
A small addition is to make sure you decrease the size of your images with the Imagify plugin + making sure you have great hosting. I recommend Siteground.
Also above comments is 100% true. 
But before that, you can start from a very good provider hosting that can which to support technologies like as LiteSpeed, Nginx and other techniques or server parameters.

There are many factors that can affect the speed of a wordpress website, and for each of these factors you can define one more types of solutions. In my case for example, I suffered a lot from the slowness of one of my wordpress sites and tried many alternatives when trying to solve the problem. Since the increase in server capacity, the installation of cache plugins, deactivation and activation of all installed plugins, some people have even suggested using Cloudflare but none of this has resulted in a satisfactory solution.
Until I discovered the real reasons, the real causes of the slowness of my website, the first reason was the innumerable attempts of improper access coming from countries like China and Russia for example and that were taking the use of the server capacity to 100 %, I solved a good part of this problem using analysis tools and blocking by countries on the server. Over time, undue attempts have diminished and today are rare.
The solution to the first problem was half the way, the other half was the outdated server and PHP 5.6. When updating php to 7.0 I noticed that the loading speed of my wordpress site improved a lot, taking from then on a few seconds to display the complete page, but I was convinced that it could improve more, so I analyzed each service and plugin for to know if I could bring the php version up to 7.1 and 7.2, I made this change and the server speed improved again.
Finally, I still noticed a certain slowness on the site, and by executing a simple update command via ssh I could see how important it is to always keep the server up to date, as it is incredible (and obvious) how this routine also helped to improve greatly the speed of my wordpress site and the entire server itself.
Today I have several plugins installed on the mentioned site and I do not depend on cache plugins to keep it loading quickly. But it is logical that for each case there is a different solution (or more than one), so the ideal is always to find out what is the problem that is causing the slowness, and then apply a specific solution.

Hello,
Here are my few cents:
1. Good Hosting (Prefer NginX or LiteSpeed over Apache) (NVMe or SSD over HDD)
2. Good Caching (WP Rocket or LSCache for LiteSpeed)
3. Good and Clean Coded Theme optimized for speed.

- Lightweight and fast loading theme - Personally, I strongly suggest to go with either Astra Pro, OceanWP, Neve or GeneratePress. These are by far the lightest and faster loading WordPress themes on the market right now. Also, many of them, come with pre-made websites, saving you a lot of time when it comes to customization.
- Performance plugin - For this, the best option on the market is WP Rocket.
- Image optimization Plugin - You have several options out there, many are great and solid options. personally, I love ShortPixel but you can also go with Smush Pro or Imagify (From the same developers of WP Rocket)
- Fast Hosting - There´s no way around this. If you want your site to load fast you need a fast hosting provider, PERIOD! If you´re in this for the long-run and/or to make money, see this as a long-term investment. The best and fastest WordPress hosting providers are WPX Hosting, Kinsta or WPEngine. There are other great options out there but by all means, STAY AWAY FROM EIG Hosting companies! personally, I would go with SiteGround. Why? They are by far the fastest hosting provider under <$50 but on renewal, they have some of the most expensive renewal fees on the market. So, be ready to migrate after the first year. Hopefully, you will by now have enough money to afford some elite hosting like the ones I mention here.
- CDN Service - Cloudflare is by far the best FREE CDN service in the world, IT´S NOT EVEN CLOSE! But many of the hosting options I mentioned above have their own CDN service included on their hosting packages.
Just a small correction, EIG companies. They are the worst!

Yes correct, SiteGround now with new dashboard instead of cPanel..
I left when they launched it...
I am using wordops with google cloud and its really fast. i tried many control panels but this is best and simple for wordpress.
I am using wordpress because its easy to customize with lots of nulled themes and plugins available.
I'm also planning on moving all my website to cloudways from namecheap (Managed WordPress) anyone uses Cloudways?
Does anybody use Autoptimize? Im using Autoptimize + my hosting plugin (Siteground Optimizer). If anybody has used Autoptimize and other combinations tell me your experience. Which is better?
