Macbook Mid 2012 lag

I have a macbook pro mid 2012, 2.9 GHz, Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 with MacOS Mojave 10.14.6. I also upgraded to a 500GB SSD Samsung.

I got this after I ran first aid in Disk Utility. Does anyone know what this means?

Checking the fsroot tree.

warning: directory valence check: directory (oid 0x10c2ed7): orphan directory record x9

Verifying allocated space.

The volume /dev/rdisk1s1 appears to be OK.

I reseted the SMC, replaced my battery and still have no clue why my laptop lags!

Thanks

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

Too Much is Running in the Background....

This means that your hard drive is starting to fail, and that your CPU is being over used. So, rid of what is not needed, including any installed security software -- it is getting in the way, scanning the Mac 24/7.

Remove login items:

Go To: System Preferences
Click: Users & Groups
Select: User Name
Rid: of all Items

Force Quit all items:

Go To: Apple Menu
Click: Force Quit...
Select: an Item
Click: the Force Quit button

As a Last Resort...

If you have tried many, many times, with no success, then I'd say just erase your hard drive and reinstall macOS.

A Manual Fix:

Backup: the MacBook Pro
Erase: the Hard Drive (All is Erased -- So Create a Backup First)
Reinstall: the macOS - Bootable Installer
Restore: all your files from the backup

Please determine if the same problems occur in "Safe Mode": Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac.

Create a New User:

If this does stop occurring with the new user, then it is something misconfigured in your current user. So, transfer everything over to the new user, and then trash this current user that you are logged into.

Thank you for your kind reply and helpful information!

I have decided to reformat my disk and carried out another First Aid and came up with this:

Verifying file system.

Volume could not be unmounted.

Using live mode.

Performing fsck_apfs -n -l -x /dev/rdisk1s1

Checking the container superblock.

Checking the EFI jumpstart record.

Checking the space manager.

Checking the space manager free queue trees.

Checking the object map.

Checking volume.

Checking the APFS volume superblock.

The volume was formatted by diskmanagementd (945.275.8) and last modified by apfs_kext (945.275.7).

Checking the object map.

warning: omap (oid 0xd47e9): invalid om_flags (0x2)

Checking the snapshot metadata tree.

Checking the snapshot metadata.

Checking the extent ref tree.

Checking the fsroot tree.

Verifying allocated space.

The volume /dev/rdisk1s1 appears to be OK.

File system check exit code is 0.

Restoring the original state found as mounted.

Another warning and have no clue what that means. I am grateful for any help you can provide with this!

Thank you again

Replacing the HD with a SSD it is recommend to install a new SATA cable at the same time—it is a known weak link, and a nominal expense.

You can test the new drive by putting it into an external enclosure and booting from there—this will bypass the internal SATA cable.
