Hi Guys
I need help optimising my website – I recently upgraded to cloudflare pro in a bid to increase the pagespeed but I am yet to get the right config. I need help with the present page score which is presently at 64%.

I presently use the following plugin what is your recommendation with:
1. wp super cache
2. Ad Inserter Plugin
I use the ad inserter plugin for my adsense to align side by side. I am trying to use as less plugin as I can use, can the internal Ad setting in the theme panel do the following:

To Optimize ur images this plugin can do it for you..EWWW Image Optimizer find it here >>>https://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/

Great tips Steven and Chris.
I’ve installed Async, page is loading fast after defering Javascript, but this plugin and defering of Javascrit is breaking MY FAVORITES widget from the sidebar.
I’m using Newspaper 6.5 with Classic Blog theme.
Anyway to fix it?
