I'm surprised no one has suggest turning it off and back on....Sounds obvious, but you should try and turn it off/on every so often....This will help clear a few things that could cause slow down.
Never hurts to try it before all else.

The A14 is getting monthly security updates (and will do for another couple of years), installing those causes a reboot.

Factory resets haven't been a need since about Android 9.0. Very rarely does Android need any such intervention these days. Regular re-boots are a good idea and if it is getting the monthly security updates and they are being installed then this should do that.

Try doing a speed test when it appears to be going slowly. It could easily be an issue outside of the device.

Yes, Sorry, I did look but missed that....

Sometimes the only way to get it runny smoothly is to do a factory reset if you have cleared the memory etc...
