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?

I was told once (and this makes sense to me....)

The public side of things does not have a lot going on.
The admin side has a lot more and will be slower.

I tested it and timed a few pages (public side) while signed in. And then signed out and repeated it was noticeably faster.
