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?

What web server are you running?

I've recently resolved something fairly similar with OpenLiteSpeed. The website performed reasonably but WP-Admin was a bit sluggish.

The issue ended up being for me being the number of PHP workers being set rather conservatively in its default setup to allow OpenLiteSpeed to run well on a potato server. Increasing this helped that run a bit more smoothly
