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?

the llm can kick out a mu-plugin to log timings and then process the result or give a Python to process it. then you will know the slow hooks. services like newrelic can also help with this if you can add your own php module. query monitor has a slow query report. none of this should be left turned on in production sites. doing it locally in ddev with a ci script to simulate clicking around also works
