iMac very slowly - you can do that

If your iMac is very slow, it can be annoying in the long run. Find out in this practical tip what you can do for more performance.

iMac very slow - the best tips for more speed

• First, make sure your iMac is up to date. To do this, switch to "System Settings" and "App Store".
• Also, take a look at the activity meter, which you can find in the Utilities folder. You can directly end or uninstall programs with a high load here.
• The iMac's hard drive is often clogged with unnecessary messages and lists. Open the terminal and enter the command "sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.spindump.plist" to delete these unnecessary lists.
• Go to "Users & Groups" in the "System Settings" and then to "Login Objects". Here you can see programs that are available immediately after registration. You can hide them by ticking the box. This will make the Mac faster again.
• It is also advisable to check the hard disk regularly. Take a critical look at the installed programs and ask yourself which programs you no longer need.

• You should also regularly delete the cache. You can do this from the terminal by entering the "sudo purge" command.

• You can activate numerous helpful widgets on the desk. However, use as little of this as possible because they require a lot of power.
• You can also upgrade your iMac's hardware. This will bring you even more speed. For example, the hard drive or RAM can be replaced and upgraded.
• There is also the option of permanently improving the boot speed by installing an SSD. This allows you to make your iMac faster for the future.
• Installation is quick and easy and you can find a suitable SSD hard drive cheaply on the Internet.
• If these tips are only moderately successful, you should reset the iMac to factory settings.
