Macbook Performance Below Average

Hello all,

I ran Etre.Check on my late 2011 Macbook Pro and my specs were running with below average performance. My computer reflects high CPU usage with just using Google Chrome (seemingly abnormally high to me). I was wondering if anyone can give me an ideas as to what to pinpoint what may be the source of my problem? In the last six months, I upgraded my Mac from the old hardware that it came with, meaning I have upgraded the ram to 8gb and replaced the hard drive with a crucial SSD 512 gb.
