Is Your Mac Slower Than It Used to Be?
Apps take forever to open. The spinning wheel appears constantly. Your Mac isn't old—so what's going on?
The #1 reason Macs slow down
It's not malware. It's not age. It's not that you need a new Mac.
Your storage is almost full.
Why Does Storage Affect Speed?
Your Mac uses free storage space as "breathing room." When files need to be moved around, when apps need temporary space, when your Mac needs to think—it uses your empty storage. When there's no room left, everything slows to a crawl.
Apps Launch Slowly
Apps need space to load. No space = waiting... and waiting...
Spinning Wheel
The rainbow wheel appears when your Mac is struggling to find space to work.
Can't Update
macOS updates need 15-20GB of free space. No space = no updates = security risks.

What's Using All Your Space?
For most people, it's not apps or documents. It's photos and videos.
