GUEST OPINION: Whether you’re using an old MacBook Pro or a new one, you will often experience periods when your apps stop responding for various reasons. Luckily, you could employ a few tips to resolve a slow Mac. Read on for five effective ways to speed up your Mac.

1.   Clean up system documents and file

Often, a slow Mac results from file clutter, which reduces disk space and causes unresponsive applications. By removing old and unuseful files such as old photos, temporary files, junk files, and duplicate files from the system, you could increase your Mac’s speed significantly.

While you could clean your Mac by yourself, the process can be time-consuming. You should consider investing in a cleaner tool for Mac to have your unit cleaned in no time,

2.   Free up Random Access Memory (RAM)

RAM is responsible for storing temporary data when using your system’s applications. Increased app usage and memory pressure result in a slow Mac.

To check the RAM status, click  Applications → Utilities → Activity Monitor → Memory. You should then check the bottom of the windows for memory pressure. A tab bar that frequently turns red means you need additional Random Access Memory. To free up RAM, consider closing any apps you are not presently using. You could also invest in a RAM cleaner for Mac.

3.   Check the internet connection

Slow internet could make your Mac run slowly, limiting your productivity. If you have a slow Mac, consider checking the internet connection to determine the root cause.

To check the internet connection, you should hold down the option key then click the Wi-Fi icon. Next, click open wireless diagnostics. You could fix any problems with your internet connection by resolving every prompt detected as you run diagnostics.

Consider restarting your router and removing any physical distractions between the Mac and the router if you do not detect any issues with your internet connection.

4.   Close unused web browsing tabs

Opening too many web browsing tabs, especially when you do not have enough disk space, could reduce your Mac’s speed to a crawl. Having a new tab is like opening another browser, and with more than 10 tabs, your system's resources and memory are drained.  If your Mac is constantly slowing down, you should make it a habit to close any tabs you are not using to speed up the unit.

5.   Upgrade to the latest macOS software

Apple produces new MacOs software updates with enhanced performance and improved security features to keep your unit running smoothly. You should consider updating your Mac with the current macOS to speed up your unit and enhance safety. To update your MacOs, you should:

  • Visit the Apple Menu
  • Click on system preference
  • Select software update
  • Click on Automatically keep my Mac up to date

Endnote

Avoid the frustrations of a slow Mac by cleaning up system documents and files, checking the internet connection, closing unused web tabs, and upgrading to the latest macOS software.
