Default slow cranking

what would cause slow cranking, everytime i bring my car to oprating temp and shut it off and try to start it again it cranks slow like if my batt is low but when engine cools down or on a cold start its fine wat could be causing this.

bad starter/high resistance in the windings and with added engine bay heat it'll amplify the issue, or just plain starter heat soak, or bad cable/one with high resistance in it, when the prob occurs, I'd start doing voltage drop tests to locate the source of the prob
