YOU’LL NEED
macOS 10.9 or later EtreCheckPro (Free)
Even if your Mac isn’t suffering from beach balls, crashes or kernel panics, you’ll still want it to run faster. EtreCheckPro (etrecheck.com) gives it an excellent all-round check which highlights any problems, and draws your attention to practical measures you can apply to fix or improve them.
Once it has run its checks, it lists major and minor issues which need to be addressed. Its free version provides a thorough analysis of security protection, and a long text report with full details. Coupled with utilities which are bundled with macOS, you should then be able to fix many of the problems it can detect.
