Maxed out Macbook Pro Mid 2012 Running Slow

Hello. Last year I purchases refurbished Macbook Pro 2012 Retina. Specifications look great and it has 16GB of RAM, SSD etc. I use it for work only.. Means I browse websites like facebook, browse google drives etc. I can't have 3 tabs open without my fans going crazy and whole macbook getting hot as fire. I expected such specifications to handle these simple tasks more efficiently...
