Slow email loading on 4-year-old iPad after iOS update

Email content on my iPad takes 20 minutes or more to load. My iPhone SE with the same settings is instant. This iPad is only 4 years old and this problem started after an IOS update a couple of years back and is getting worse…

Already checked memory. iPad has 256gb and is using 84gb. The iPhone has 125gb and using about 80gb. It does not make sense with both items with similar age and configuration would have such a difference. My iPad is two hours behind iPhone on mail updates and takes at least 5 minutes to open an email. This all started with an update 2-3 years ago and is getting worse with each update.
