Default Honda Civic - 8th Gen - 2008 - Car Startup Problem

I'm driving a 2008 Honda Civic - 8th Gen.

My car showing symptoms of delay start up problem recently.

This is especially obvious when I left the car not driven for 2-3 days. It will take longer time to start up when I turned on the key.

The symptoms seems to be obvious even when I drive everyday now.

Is there experts here able to advice what could be the problem?

Thanks

When was the last time a tuneup was performed on this car?

Does it crank slowly or is it multiple cranks until it catches?

The last tune up was carried out approx. 6 months back.

The crank sounds normal, except that it took longer time to start up than usual occasionally.

Thanks for your troubleshooting guide, I'll try to see if I can self diagnose the problem
