5 steps to speed up Mac

1. Startup Items

Exclude the automatic startup of unneeded apps.

Go to Menu → System Preferences → Users & Groups → Login Items.

2. Clear cacheTo remove unnecessary caches and free up space on your hard drive, you can use the Clear Disk utility.

3. Widgets and extensions

Get rid of unneeded widgets in the Notification Center if you do not use them, as they eat up a great deal of memory.

Go to Menu → System Preferences → Extensions → Today and uncheck unnecessary items.

4. Clean up unnecessary icons from your desktop

Too many icons on the screen can affect a Mac’s performance adversely. The reason is that Mac OS X treats each icon as a separate window.

5. Use Activity Monitor to read system memory to determine how much RAM is being used.

A large number of active apps can slow down your Mac greatly.

Go to Activity Monitor → CPU tab → complete the most demanding processes or use a free app Memory Cleaner X to clean inactive RAM.
