Are there any commands that will speed up the site?

There is no such thing :sweat_smile:.

Why would there be a secret command to make things fast? Why on earth would we default to a slow mode?

If you are having performance issues you need to bring hard data. What is the slow route, what is the community size, what is the database size, did you try removing all plugins and themes, did you try running in a $5 DO droplet, etc.
