Slow Macbook Pro startup

My MacBook Pro is slow in starting up. This has happened since I loaded Mavericks when it was released. I have loaded all updates up to El Capitan and it has not corrected or gotten any faster.

My boyfriend says to delete any previous wireless networks out of my settings as it may be trying to ping each network before selecting the local one. I found all the previous networks that I have saved. I saw many previous connections but cannot figure out how to delete the ones I do not use.

Please help!!

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11), null

How much memory is installed in your Mac?

I suggest the following.

Please ensure that your hard drive is not nearly full.

Run Disk Utility to check and repair permissions.

Install OnyX (free utility). Download it at http://www.titanium.free.fr/onyx.html. Use it to delete cache files and run the Mac's (daily, weekly and monthly maintenance scripts. There is a screen snapshot of what the settings look like at the url below.
