Slow Mac

My Mac is running very slow, online & off line. Opening Finder takes 20-30 seconds. Selecting a file takes up to a minute. I have run Malwarebytes and it states the machine is clean. Any advice is appreciated.

Hello. My Mac is running very slowly and has been doing so for a long time. Hello. My Mac is running very slowly and has been doing so for some time. I have tried cleaning it up with CleanmyMac but it doesn't seem to make any difference. On restarting the Mac, it can take 5 minutes to start up and render the 40 or so files on the desktop. Programmes take several minutes to open and often crash before opening. Web pages take a long time to open - several minutes for the simplest of pages that have been loaded before. Likewise, trying to open Word or Excel files from Finder takes several minutes. I have run an Etrecheck report on it which is attached. Thanks for any advice you can give.
