    First step is to get more detailed information of what exactly is slow. If you are on SQL 2016 or later, Query Store is a great tool for this.

    Hi ChaitanyaKiran-9853,
    In addition, you also can use SQL Server Profiler or Extended Events to create a trace to capture information about running query, including CPU, Reads, Writes and Duration. For SQL server Profiler, we can click on the "Event Selection" tab and check RPC:Completed and SQL:BatchCompleted events.

    For Extended Events, we can select the rpc_completed and sql_batch_completed events.
    Then we can start the troubleshooting, and use the execution plan and statistics to identify queries that need tuning and indexes that need creating.
    Please refer to this article which might help.

    Best Regards,
    Amelia
