A slow WordPress admin is almost always caused by high CPU plugins and page builders, object cache in W3 Total Cache, or cheap, shared hosting. The whole point is to reduce the amount of CPU consumed by your website/plugins while using a powerful server. I would also never use heavy page builders like Elementor, Divi, or WooCommerce on top of shared hosting.
