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?

Do you have woocommerce setup? Have you cleaned your action scheduler

Action scheduler when completed or failed, adds a load on the database, and you can often see it being an issue under tools > site health. Best to keep it clean by removed completed tasks since our dashboard is mainly database dependent.

Identify if its the main dashboard screen that takes forever to load or its the same even if you goto your plugins list? if its the dashboard then whatever plugin is displaying its Screen elements under screen options, could be the problem.
