Postgresql – Postgres: How to optimize time constrained wildcard search

I'd like to optimize Postgres response times for a query which looks for

select
    orders.id,
    orders.created
from
    orders left join order_items on     order_items.order_id = orders.id
where
    orders.created >= '2011-10-02 23:00:00' 
    and orders.created <= '2017-12-09 22:59:59.999' 
    and orders.total_price >= '2000000'
    and orders.total_price <= '2147483647'
    and order_items.article_name ilike  '%test%' 
order by
    orders.created desc limit '40' offset '0'

In my environment it's typical that the date range is about 2-5 days and the stored orders are up to 2 years ago. 99% of the query time is used for the gist trigram index scan on article_name. The time range currently has negligible performance impact: it doesn't matter if I search for orders within 2 days or 2 years.

The simplified DDL contains a compound index on order (created, id):

CREATE TABLE public.orders (
    id int4 NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('orders_id_seq'::regclass),
    created timestamp NOT NULL,
    total_price int8 NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT orders_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
};
create
    unique index order_created_id_idx on
    orders
        using btree(
        created desc,
        id
    ) ;
          (
            total_price is not null
        )
        or(
            total_price <> 0
        )
    ) ;
create
    unique index order_total_price_id_idx_tx_id on
    orders
        using btree(
        total_price desc,
        transaction_id
    )
where
    (
        total_price is not null
    ) ;

CREATE TABLE public.order_items (
    id int4 NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('order_items_id_seq'::regclass),
    order_id int8 NOT NULL,
    article_name text NULL,
    CONSTRAINT order_items_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id),
    CONSTRAINT order_items_order_fk FOREIGN KEY (order_id) REFERENCES public.orders(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
)

create
    index order_items_article_name_with_like_support_idx on
    order_items
        using btree(
        lower( article_name ) varchar_pattern_ops;
create
    index order_item_article_name_trgm_idx on
    order_items
        using gist(
        article_name gist_trgm_ops
    ) ;

and produces this query plan:

(How) Can I optimize this use case?
