Ethernet switch causing lag

Since I have installed my switch(GSS116E) I notice my connection is a bit more choppy depending on the device so the PS4pro can get really bad lag and since I mostly play fighting  games this is a problem I do have some of the consoles connected directly to my router and those seem to have no issue but that only has 4 ports and in my house we have a lot of devices I actually need to upgrade the switch to one with more ports soon, is there anyway to see if there is indeed lag being cause by the switch also is there a way to fix it?

    Very unikely the switch does add reasonable lag. Much more likley there are other devices on the other 14 ports causing traffic...
