What methods do you use to optimize the work and performance of the backend part (.php)?

I want to try to optimize the performance of Magento 2.
After searching this question, I see that for the most part everyone removes modules that are not used on the project or that are obsolete.
But I want to find even more options to improve the performance of the Magento 2 backend (*.php).

Tell me what you use or what I can try in your opinion?
