Even if they are not displayed on the front-end, Magento still processes them and it may cause Admin Panel to slow down.

Tune Up Reindexing Operations

If you have reindex setting is ‘Update on Save’, whenever you update a product, the Magento backend starts to reindex. But not only 1 product will be indexed, the whole catalog. If you have a lot of products, it will take some time to complete and may cause unnecessary delays.

Instead, you can turn on automated reindex updates on schedule which is more performance-friendly or schedule reindexing via shell.
