Running slow

My MacBook Pro is running really slow. I’ve freed a bunch of space, checked the activity monitor, taken programs out of my startup menu, on the latest Sierra 10.13. Not sure what else to do to fix? Please help 😊

Hi,

Resetting SMC could solve the slowness.

My MacBook Air is running very slow my mac is running very slow. I think it’s from my activity monitor: it seems full. I have never messed with this since I bought my computer. I haven’t needed to I don’t think. Can you help me figure out what’s causing it to run so slow? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Mac is running very slow Hello all, up to a few days ago my Mac would take about 3-5 mins to boot up and load. With that it used to perform very well, open multiple browser tabs and open multiple apps with pretty good performance. But recently it got drastically slower, takes a much much longer time to boot up and to just load the browser takes more than 5 mins and everything is incredibly slow. i cleared the system cache, deleted startup programs and cleared up programs running in the background but this only helped minimally. what else can I do???? 2011 MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz i5 8 gigs Ram 100 gigs free hard drive
