You can’t. It’s no longer being signed.
The question above implies that you somehow have an option or choice in the matter.
You don't.
It's not that it's the "best thing"... it's the only thing
Google it....it can be done, you just need to get your hands on a ipsw. Its against forum rules for me to fully explain how....
It cannot be done, unless 10.3.3 is being signed which it currently isn’t.
You can downgrade when Apple is digitally signing the version you want. They stopped signing iOS 10 last year. They’re currently signing 11.2 and up.
It’s gotten slightly longer the past couple of years but it’s only for a few weeks.
They stopped signing iOS 10 on October 4th after releasing iOS 11 on September 19th. (Except for the 6s which got it extended to November for some reason.) They stopped signing iOS 9 on October 19th 2016. With iOS 8 and 7 it was before September even ended.
They started signing iOS 10 (and lots of other old versions) for a short period earlier this month so you probably downgraded then:

I just checked the site I get my ipsw's from. I can go back as far as iOS 7. He's gotta google it, I got in trouble before with a moderator posting the web url in the past.
iTunes blocks you from installing unsigned ipsws. I wouldn’t be surprised if you somehow did downgrade though because Apple was clearly having issues with their signing servers.
You missed the one day downgrade bonanza.

You can't, check this out

As you can see iOS 10.3.3 is not being signed
You only have 4 options.
That's not how it works, iTunes checks the signing status right before attempting to install it on the device.
If 11.1 currently being signed yes you can downgrade, DFU mode the phone and Hold shift and click restore. On Mac hold the option key and click restore. Locate the 11.1 ipsw click it and iTunes will restore.
I believe there is a possibility of a untethered jailbreak on 11.2.2 also, 11.2.5 patches the vulnerability
You can check ipsw.me to see what firmwares are being signed for your device
iOS 11.2 - 11.2.1 - 11.2.2 - 11.2.5 firmwares files and are currently signed
For example if you are now in 11.2.5 you can downgrade to 11.2.1 because 11.2.1 is currently signing
If you clicked the link, you would see. 11.2.5, 11.2.2, 11.2.1 and 11.2.
Oh, my...I looked here to see if there was any way I could return our 5S iPhones to the blessed days before iOS 11. Sounds like it's not going to possible, so I guess I'll have to settle for ranting:
Our iPhones are running terribly slowly, there's a lag when typing; when I wake up the phone, there's a lag in reconnecting to WiFi, etc.
I've often said that software developers who write great MacOS software don't make money on upgrades because their software just keeps working. It looks like the only way for us to deal with iOS 11 is to reward Apple by buying newer iPhones. Oh, well, I guess it helps my AAPL stock value....

Your phone in all likelihood being throttled. You can load 11.3 beta 1 and unthrottle it or just wait till 11.3 is released to the public some time in the next month or so.
