iMac mid-2011
High Sierra 10.13.3
Hi, my Mac is painfully slow on startup (about 20 minutes). Searching Chrome can also be slow and bring up "waiting for cache".
Following another thread on here I've tried 1. turning it on and off, 2. resetting NVRAM and PRAM, 3. resetting SMC, 4. starting in Safe Mode then restarting normally.
But still no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks. Pete

Nothing really stands out on the report, as mentioned EtreCheck isn't designed to see if there is hardware issues, that requires taking it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider that has the proper diagnostic tools.
There are some other things you can check including the startup items. Look in System Preferences - Users & Groups - Select your yourself and click Login Items and then remove any that you do not need.
I would also uninstall Google Chrome as a it is resource hog, I would recommend using Safari. You can do some basic resets like resetting the SMC (2-3 times back to back) and resetting the NVRAM and also restarting in Safe Mode and then restarting normally. Instructions for each may be found in the links below:

Slow slow, quick quick, slow
