Hello Okto,
One of the major problem that causes slow blog is lack of image optimization.
Many bloggers fail to look that aspect when they are trying to speed their blog, not knowing that it plays a major role as well.
Optimizing your javascript is also one good way to make your site load faster.
If you do a good optimization of your blog, even a slow internet connection will open your site without stress.
