Macbook Slow, Need Solution, Etrecheck Report Attached, Kindly help.


Recently, I have experienced that my Macbook Air 2020 Intel is slow and sometimes the fan turns on even when a single application is opened. I did Etrecheck. Can someone provide the solution to all problems? Will be much appreciated.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.1

Hey there!


Here are a few things I noticed from your report:


CleanMyMac

It appears you have CleanMyMac installed. Mac computers don't benefit from third-party cleaning or security utilities, and having them installed can actually cause your Mac to run slowly. I recommend you remove it:

How to uninstall CleanMyMac X.


Google Chrome

It appears that Google Chrome is using a lot of system resources. I'd suggest trying to use Safari instead: Safari - Apple. Not only is it faster, but Safari has better power efficiency than Chrome, so you do more online on a single charge.


Let us know if performance increases after removing CleanMyMac and using Safari.


Hope this helps!

My observations:


  • No Time Machine backup configured. Can you afford to have a hard drive crash and lose everything on your Mac?
  • WhatsApp has been reported by quite a few users in these support forums as having issues with MacOS 14 (Sonoma).
  • X2 for uninstalling Clean My Mac. It causes more issues than it prevents. Be sure to follow the vendor's uninstall directions to make sure you remove everything.
  • X2 for uninstalling Google Chrome. I recommend, as Jack-19 has suggested using Safari instead. Brave is another good option.
