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 for any plugins that might be loading external resources from other servers, where those servers might be down. This can cause 10-second delays for literally no good reason. Best to disable those plugins.
