I am trying to optimize a WordPress website. I already minified some js and CSS files. I already tried compressing images and videos and trying to eliminate render-blocking files but the website speed is just the same.
The issue that I found on the website is that it has files that are too long and even I enabled caching, some files are not being cached.
Any information or website that will be helpful to optimize the website?

You need to follow the following instructions:
This plugin is working fine.
First of all, take a backup of your site manually
Go to public_html and compress all the files
After that export a copy of the database by phpMyAdmin
Then you can perform the following steps:
Include the following options (note that you must turn off any other speed booster plug-ins because including more than one speed plugin can cause negative interference):
-cach system
-preload
-logged-in Users
-Minify HTML
-Gzip
-Drowser caching
-Disable Emojis
*Notice:
preload
Enable – This tells the plugin to preload your pages. Upon firing, you’ll get a popup asking you which pages to cache.
Check all the categories – Particularly Home
page, Posts, Categories, Pages
Leave the “pages per minute” at 4
You may need to reduce this number depending on your hosting provider limits.
Leave the “Restart After Completed” option unchecked.*
After you do that, compress the images with any compression plugin (i use smush)
