Plumbing for better flow, less restrictions

Plumbing for better flow, less restrictions
I'm currently on a well and my water line from the pressure tank is 3/4", as far as I can tell.. I need know know if this will help to reduce any possible water flow issues...
The blue line is 3/4", the green would be where I would use a 1" line.
The reason I'm thinking of doing this is for flow/pressure because of the sediment filter I want to add and all the dang valves!!
Will be better or will I be wasting my time by adding the 1" where new filter and softener will be?
BTW, the reason for the line/valve from the soften line to the unsoftened line is for when washing the car... I like suds...

Pipe all in 1".
I am on a well too. I came off my pump with 1" . Then to the whole house filter and through the softner. I entered the home with 1" then converted to 3/4. Then tee'd off to 1/2" to fixtures.
I have no pressure loss...
Whats with the secondary bypass above the softener????

I never looked at the outlet from my pressure tank to see what size it was. I just remember it being 3/4". If it is one inch there, I'm going to swap it all out to 1". It's not like pvc is expensive...
Assuming I have to stay at 3/4" there, would you agree that with all the valves, filters and what not, using 1" would be better than using the existing 3/4" line?
As for the bypass above the softener, it's for my outside hose bibs. I wanted the option to run softened water as needed for washing cars..
