Use those themes that are so fast and are optimized for WordPress so that when applied to a website, it must not have slow speed.
Use short Permalinks that contains Keywords
The permalinks that you make use of in your posts or pages must be very easy to understand. e.g. use https://example.com/tutorials.html instead of making use use of the https://example.com/page-id?6723.
Have the right names for Images
The names which you choose for your images must be unique; you have to consider choosing images keeping the users in mind. Use the keywords that will be helpful to the users. Have some specific names for your images and never forget to include your alt tags and title tags to your images.

Connect Posts to Social Network
Social media is a very vital aspect of every online business today. So have them connected to your blog posts and pages in order to have good ranking and popularity. Help in promoting the posts of others too and they will do same for you.
Keep checking your site Statistics
Your page size is very important. The more flash, images, videos or other media related posts on your page, the slower it will become to load. The Yslowi > module plugin is recommended to help you get a faster page load.
