My iMac is very slow.

I have run Etrecheck report but I do not know how to interpret it. It appears that no major issue is identified but the performance is marked as being poor.


What can I do?


EtreCheck version: 4.1 (4A162)

Report generated: 2018-03-05 11:06:00

Download EtreCheck from https://etrecheck.com

Runtime: 10:12

Performance: Poor


Problem:Computer is too slow


Major Issues:

Anything that appears on this list needs immediate attention.


Poor performance - EtreCheck report took over 10 minutes to run. This is very unusual.


Minor Issues:

These issues do not need immediate attention but they may indicate future problems.


Upgradeable RAM - This machine has upgradeable RAM that would help its performance.

Small backup drive - Time Machine backup drive is too small.

Unsigned files - There is unsigned software installed. It appears to be legitimate but should be reviewed.
