Try to plan at least your first center in inspection, even if you only do white cross you can start with the yellow center to save moves
I avg about the same so that's the only thing I see

Based on the scramble and solution provided, it seems like you have a good grasp of advanced 4x4 solving techniques. Here are some specific tips based on the solution provided:
Practice efficient finger tricks: Efficient finger tricks can help you execute moves quickly and smoothly, reducing pauses and optimizing your solve. Pay attention to finger tricks for wide moves, such as Rw, Lw, and 3Lw, as well as moves involving the inner layers, such as Lw' and 3Lw'.
Improve lookahead and planning: Lookahead is crucial in solving the 4x4 cube, as it involves more pieces and potential parity cases compared to the 3x3 cube. Work on your lookahead skills to plan and execute moves ahead of time, optimizing your solve and reducing pauses. This can help you anticipate the next steps and solve more efficiently.
Optimize edge pairing: Edge pairing is a key step in solving the 4x4 cube, and there are multiple methods and techniques for efficient edge pairing. Practice different edge pairing techniques, such as the M2 method, WOL method, X-Cross, or L2E, and find the one that works best for you. Focus on minimizing rotations and unnecessary moves, and aim for smooth and fast execution.
Memorize algorithms: Memorizing algorithms for common cases, such as PLL parity, OLL parity, and OLL algorithms, can help you solve the cube faster. Make sure to practice these algorithms regularly to improve your recognition and execution speed.
Review and analyze your solves: After each solve, take the time to review and analyze your performance. Identify areas where you can improve, such as slow or inefficient moves, pauses, or lookahead mistakes, and work on addressing them in your practice sessions.
Practice regularly and be patient: Improvement in speedcubing takes time and practice. Dedicate regular practice time to work on your skills, and be patient with yourself as you progress. Keep track of your progress and celebrate your achievements along the way.
Stay updated with the latest techniques: The field of speedcubing is constantly evolving, with new methods and techniques being developed. Stay updated with the latest developments by following tutorials, watching videos, and participating in speedcubing communities to learn from other cubers and stay ahead of the game.
Keep practicing, analyzing your solves, and refining your techniques, and you'll continue to improve your 4x4 solving speed. Good luck!
