Iphone backup to icloud - very slow

I have 3,500 photos/videos on my iphone and have just bought extra icloud storage. It has taken 2 days so far to back up only half. Does it normally take this long? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your reply,

Well, I do not think that there is a problem with you. Backing up a lot of data takes a long time, and you should know that videos will take longer than photos, and when you back up your phone, this does not mean that you back up only photos and videos, but all data and applications If you have backup enabled, make sure your phone is connected to a good internet, turn off low power mode if it is enabled, and connect your phone to a power source if needed.
