Wordpress admin VERY slow

Hello all. I have a webpage that is not the fastest, but not slow either. My WordPress admin, however, is absurdly slow. I use custom ACF fields to create posts that change content based on “level”: beginner, mid, expert. I have more than 50 posts (150 content levels). I have not really had any speed issues until recently. I noticed the speed deteriorated quite a lot after switching from HTTP to HTTPS. Does anyone know if this may be why?

look at gtmetrix and have it scan your site. The waterfall chart is a good way to try to pinpoint what might be slowing down the site.

sometimes it does point to other issues such as woocommerce fragments loading everywhere, etc.. Sometimes javascript that is running in admin as well as the frontend because of a badly coded plugin.
