To see what is the problems that make your prestashop backoffice slowing down, you must ensure couple of things :
- Make sure are folder permission are 755 and 644 for files
- Turn on the debug mode on my prestashop to see if there any error on your prestashop installation.
You could try to create a new prestashop installation just in case your server block those domain (api.prestashop.com or/and api.addons.prestashop.com), or your could copy the xml files from others prestashop installation.
For those of you who are using prestashop 1.6.1.1 and got slow backoffice, try to applied patch from this link
