    Is the computer running slowly or is it just the internet?

      Windows comes with Disk Cleanup program. Try using the program to free up your disk space. If response time does't improve, that can be other issue with your computer.

        how fast is your internet speed (from provider)? You can check at fast.com. And, you can delete all the cookies/cache from your browser and then try again.

          Do you have high disk usage?  If so, windows might be running search continuously.
          open an admin prompt and enter the command: net.exe stop “Windows search”. This will stop Windows search from running until the next time Windows is restarted.

          If it turns out that Windows Search was responsible for your Windows 10 disk usage reaching 100%, you can disable it permanently by following this procedure:

          Press the Windows key + R, enter services.msc and hit Enter.
          The services window will open. Select the Windows Search entry and double-click it to update its properties.
          Select Disabled under Startup type and then OK to save your changes.
          It worked for me. https://www.cleverfiles.com/howto/100-disk-usage-windows-10.html
          3rd one down.

            Have you tried CCleaner, it can clear out a lot of junk files.
