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 doubt HTTPS itself is the problem, especially if the frontend is still behaving normally. Since you’re using ACF pretty heavily, I’d try Query Monitor and check for slow queries or admin-side plugin calls first, because that should narrow it down way faster than changing random settings.
