Beginners break through for 1400+ blitz

I finally got over 1100 in blitz after tilting down to 980s today and stringing some wins.
For those who got higher ratings, like +1400 in blitz what opening/s and ideas did you use to get better.
I play d4 as white and e5/d5 if opponent as white plays its. I grab the center with my pawns if opponent as white does fianchetto or other off beat opening. I don't know any theory stuff, like I can recognize what a Caro Kann, Sicilian etc looks like but don't know any theory. Thanks
Focus on not blundering. I'm referring to clear blunders like hanging a queen, etc. If you improve your play in regular chess, your blitz will likely get stronger as you more naturally make better moves.


Totally agree, once you feel like you've found YOUR opening with both white and black, you should earn quite a few points. I've been using queen's gambit with white, and recently french with black after a long time using philidor (but never happy with it). Whenever I venture into unknown openings or gambits I end up losing miserably.
