Using caching techniques like memcached, opcache on server side might improve some speed .
Also try switching to php version 7.0 (not 7.1 ,its unstable and is not compatible with theme ) .
Also follow this caching tip :

Deactivate plugins that you dont feel necessary
Please also try disabling touch points if you have enabled them from wp-admin -> lms -> setitngs -> touch points .
