My late 2017 iMac runs on Ventura 13.6.7 is hooked on a very fast WiFi and cable network. It takes for ever to complete some of the most common and simple commands (loading an app…). Is there a Utility App already loaded in the computer that can track the problem ?

iMac (2017 – 2020)
it's not already installed but, i'm thinking you should download and run the free version of EtreCheck so we can see if you have some software installed that is causing your issue. make sure you give "full disk access" to etrecheck. Learn how to use it by reading Using EtreCheck. if you need help interpreting the report, you can see how to post the report here by reading How to use the Add Text Feature When Posting Large Amounts of Text, i.e. an Etrecheck Report. and it automatically obscures sensitive things (like serial numbers) so you don't have to worry about sharing the report here.

There are 3 iMacs dating back to 2017
Most of there machines have either a Platter/ Rotational / Spinner drive that spins at either 5400 RPM or the higher end 7200 RPM
Some also have a Fusion Drive where Apple has been about to magically mix a SSD Drive with a Platter/ Rotational / Spinner
In any of these cases, not matter how fast the drive is spinning.
That will be the the Chock Point where the machine will be much slower that what you expect the computer will perform
All these details and much more will be revealed by using Etrecheck as suggested by @jefferythefrog or @Old Toad
Download and run Etrecheck.
Copy the report
and use the Additional Text button to paste the report in your reply.
Then we can examine the report and see if we can determine the cause of the problem.
Why is my iMac slow despite being on a fast WiFi and cable network?
