The recommended way to improve tactics is to practice looking for them. ChessTempo is the best site to practice tactics. chess24 also has tactics training and has good videos. Lichess has tactics and one of the best playing sites. Youtube.com has too many chess videos to list them all.
There are some clues to look for to find tactics. An unprotected back rank, pieces which are on the same line, pieces which are a Knight fork away, and pieces which are unprotected. More advanced themes are overloaded piece, trapped pieces, and zwischenzug et al.
Alburt's 300 most important positions and Reinfeld's 1001 best checkmates are PGNs which you can download. Chess Hero is a program which will test you with these files (includes Reinfeld's pgn.)
Along with tactics, you will find attacking becomes easier.
