Occasional hard start

Every once in a while my car takes a couple key turns before it turns over. Today I happened three times which is unusual. It may just be coincidence but I'm curious as to whether or not it is a harbinger of a future repair. Is the starter letting go? Any ideas?

weak battery? Dirty terminals?? If you have a autozone near by take you ride over there and ask them to check it out for you unless you have a voltage meter

Lol I work at a repair shop but I'm like 45 mins away. Brand new battery and alternator though. They're only like a month old. Basically my battery died and I killed the alternator from driving it. Charges great though, battery is an Interstate. Maybe due to the two week old cams? Idk not too worried about it just curious. Thanks though, that would have been my first thought too.
