The WP website must be optimised to function at the optimum.
Once can check for plugins to Speed Up like W3 Total Cache and WP Smush.it etc.

If your website load time is fast then it means your website is user friendly. There are different plugins but Wp Total Cache can do the job for you. Also optimize your images and don't use too much background images.

Website page speed is an important ranking factor fro Google for both mobile and desktop searches.
Page Speed is a critical component in th eonline user experience, and it is extremely important in our content driven world. There's a reason why Google Analytics now includes statistics like Page Load Time, Page Size, Website Responsiveness.
If Performance is something you haven't thought about in terms of oyur site, you may want to start thinking seriously about it. It the last is may be true that speed kills on the website presence. After  all, Google have rights to decides where you stand in the results based on your website speed.

Yeah, Google take much account of loading speed. I suggest you to focus on images in particular. You can for example replace icons with html items as svg. You have to reduce the weight of your pages more you can
