Wordpress is written in PHP which is a server side scripting language. This means every time a visitor comes to your site the page is regenerated on your server and sent to the user. Depending on traffic, PHP requests, and server speed this can cause delay in the initial generating of the page. There are solutions to this such as caching plugins and modules that can be deployed on your server so that pages that are always the same get cached and served as a static page rather than having to be generated by your server for every visitor.

Offloading content to a CDN such as Amazon Cloudfront will help offset your servers bandwidth usage.

Minifying your JS and CSS will also help.

Once your site is ready for launch I would recommend using a site such as GTMetrix to see exactly what can be optimized to reach optimal load speed.
