I have a mid 2010 macbook pro that is very slow

My MB Pro mid 2010 has been very slow on starting up and I get the beach ball for about 30 minutes. It seems ok until I need to wake it up.

2.53 GHz Intel Core i5

4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

500 GB SATA Disk

NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MBEl Capitan

I have been thinking about installing 8gb ram and a 500 SSD. Could this speed things up or is it too old? Or could it be something else.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), Mid 2010, 4gb ram, 500gb sata HD
