If you feel like your homepage should display more posts, there’s a simple option that allows you to change the number of posts displayed.
In short, go to WordPress admin>Settings>Reading>Blog pages show at most => and change the value to the desired one.
For example, by default there was 10 posts displayed on my website.
WordPress 10 posts displayed by default
To change it, once in the WordPress administration panel, find Settings and click on Reading.
