don’t spam algorithms, my friend. learn intuitive F2L. watch jperm or other cubing youtubers for their tutorials. my best tip at this step is try to understand what you’re doing in f2l, not just follow instructions. follow where your pieces are going.

when i was at 30 sec I used 3 look oll and 4 look pll. for oll, use the edge orient algs, sune and anti sune. for pll, use T perm (corner swap) and clockwise/counterclockwise U perms (edge swap).

@enya_yurself thanks! i haven't gotten any new bests so far, but i appreciate the tip :D

are you doing 4 look last layer?

@DZC sorry for the late response;

i'm not learning OLL or PLL yet.
