Replace your hard drive with an SSD
One of the best tips to speed up MAC is to replace the traditional hard drive with a Solid-state drive (SSD). This will definitely improve the performance of the system. This is very simple to do and gives great result.
Keep Desktop Clean
Desktop is the first screen that loads up when the system starts therefore it must always be kept clean. Reduce the number of icons and clear all the unwanted files from it. Never put heavy files on desktop so that the operating system does not have to waste enough resources on loading them.
Keep MAC cool
Always try to keep MAC at cool and dry environment, keep it upto 60–75 °F (16–24 °C). You may also use the feature called Fan Control which automatically adjusts the system temperature.
Update all software
Update all the software running on your MAC. This is important to ensure all the software apps are running the latest edition. You may also use the App updates available in MAC App store.
Use antivirus
Install an antivirus and perform a quick scan of your MAC. Today even MAC is not free from malware attacks. When attacked, viruses slow it down, affecting system performance, so using antivirus will clean up the malware present and will help in speeding up MAC.
