Disable startup programs
Having too many startup programs keeps your computer from booting quickly. When Windows starts, it first loads all startup programs and system tray programs. Some of these programs are essential while others may just be wasting your system resources. Remove all the programs that you don’t really need right away. You can always load them by yourself when you need them.
Defragment to optimize your drives
Simply put, defragmentation moves your data around on the physical disk in order for your computer to work faster and more efficiently. You should defrag regularly to keep your computer’s performance at top speed.
Check your computer for malicious software
Malicious software, or malware for short, is known to affect your computer’s performance. Even if the malware you contracted isn’t directly harmful, they will still use your computer’s resources and that will cause your computer to slow down.
Reinstall Windows
Reinstalling Windows will remove junk files and programs that you no longer need, therefore speeding up your computer. It will also remove any malicious software that has infected your computer. Reinstalling your whole operating system is the guaranteed way to return your computer to its cleanest state.
Empty the caches
Cache files are temporary data used to speed up the process. However, as more time passes, these cache files start to take up a lot of storage on your Mac and instead of speeding things up, they actually slow your Mac down. You can always get rid of these caches by cleaning them up manually or by using software specifically designed to clean up caches.
Uninstall applications
Getting rid of applications you no longer use is a proven and tested way to speed up your Mac. Make it a habit to uninstall applications you don’t need anymore.
Clean up the hard drive
This is the easiest way to speed up your Mac. Just go through your hard drive and get rid of everything that is slowing your computer down. Look for caches, logs, apps you don’t need, widgets that only slow down your Mac’s performance, hidden trash, and old files. These are the data that easily fill up all your empty space. You can do this manually or by using a cleanup software.
Update your Mac
You can either update your operating system (OS) or upgrade your hardware. Upgrading to the latest available version of OS and upgrading your hardware typically solves a bunch of issues on slow speed.
Restart your Mac
This is probably the quickest solution to speed up a slow Mac. Restarting your Mac closes all running programs and gives you the option to save any files you’re working on. Your Mac will start to boot once you save your files. It should perform better after it’s been restarted.
Reset SMC and PRAM
There are times when your Mac might start acting strange for no reason. It might sleep or shut down unexpectedly, stop charging properly, or perform slowly. If restarting your computer doesn’t fix these issues, you might need to reset SMC and PRAM.
Replace your HDD with SSD Adding a solid state drive to your Mac will make it boot faster, perform file operations in the blink of an eye, and keep your Mac performing fast even when you’re multitasking. Take note that you should seriously consider consulting a professional first before adding any hardware upgrades by yourself.
Add more RAM
Adding RAM increases your memory and is therefore usually a great solution for improving your Mac’s performance. The more RAM your Mac has, the more you can do without affecting your system’s speed. When you’re running low on RAM, your Mac starts using virtual memory. Virtual memory uses the hard drive and the system considerably. When you increase your RAM, your OS won’t be making calls to virtual memory. Still having trouble with your slow PC, laptop, or Mac? Give us a call and we will send a computer technician to you right away!
