Using Safari the first 2 web pages take like a minute or 2 to load . SO Frustrating.
What can I do ??
God forbid if I actually have not closed Firefox.
What gives - it has been doing this for a while.
Thanks for the info!
Your USB 3-equipped Mac with a hard disk can have improved system performance by connecting to an external solid-state drive (also known as an SSD). An external SSD as a startup disk can give your Mac additional performance for system responsiveness, apps, startup, and more. To learn more, see: Use an external SSD as your startup disk … - Apple Community.
I've done this with my 2015 iMac (the same model as yours), and it's given my Mac a nice performance boost!
Hope this helps!

EtreCheck is a FREE simple little diagnostic tool to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac. It will not display any personal info.
Thanks for Old Toad’s etrecheck instructions…

Hey there!
If you think your Mac might have an issue, you can use this procedure to help gather information on your Mac which will help us troubleshoot your Mac’s problem.
To start, let us know what model your Mac is and what version of macOS you’re using. The simplest way to find out is About This Mac, available by choosing About This Mac from the Apple menu in the upper-left corner of your screen.
Next, share a screenshot of your Mac’s storage information. In the Finder, choose Go > Utilities, then double-click the Disk Utility icon. (Disk Utility is located in the /Applications/Utilities folder.) Alternatively, click Launchpad in the Dock, type Disk Utility in the search field, then click the Disk Utility icon. Once Disk Utility is open, take a screenshot of the information it automatically opens to, which will be your startup disk. Next, select View > Show All Devices in Disk Utility and select the non-indented disk entry—it’s at the top of the hierarchy. Then, take a screenshot of the newly selected entry. Upload all screenshots here.
Next, use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac to help determine if there might be a hardware component at fault. When testing is complete, Apple Diagnostics shows the results, including one or more reference codes.
Learn about Apple Diagnostics reference codes
Let us know which reference codes you receive.
Finally, let us know what antivirus, VPN, or cleaning software you have installed.

Have you tried using the Opera Browser, on your iMac 2015?
I use Opera on my 2015 Macbook Pro, also running Monterey 12.7.4
So fast and quick are the Opera Browser,in my opinion!
Maybe it is a Browser issue,but something else?
Thanks -
The Hardware test showed no problems. The only Antivirus I have ever used was Malware bytes but I always have to uninstall as it slows things down too much. I do not know what VPN is and I do not use any cleaning software as I hear Mac Cleaner will give you too many issues after installing.
Thanks Faye
