So, you may have an older iPhone, and you may want to find ways to actually speed it up. Now, if you have a very old iPhone, like an iPhone 6,s an iPhone 6, or even an iPhone 7, it’s pretty much going to be slower no matter what you do (unless you jailbreak your device), but there are still some ways to speed up your iPhone. First off, if you have an iPhone that supports iOS 14 or newer, you should consider limiting the number of widgets that you have on your iPhone home screen, so it’s not a crazy big battery sucker or performance sucker, but every single little widget that you have on any of your home screens, it does take up a little tiny bit of performance that could be used for something else:

So, I would highly recommend deleting the widgets you’re currently not using, this can help speed up your iPhone a little bit. Another big thing that I’ve seen really affect my iPhone stability/performance is the amount of storage that I have left on my iPhone, so, what I would recommend you to do is to actually clean out your iPhone, delete any unused apps or photos that you don’t need anymore, and this is another fast way to speed up your iPhone.
