High Sierra slow on a MacBook Pro 2011
I'm facing some slowness on my MacBook Pro (late 2011) since I've updated to High Sierra. It's not a heavy slowness but I face sometimes a bit of lag when I open some apps or files.
Facts:
1. Yes. I've used some of those magical cleaning tools (e.g. CleanMyMac) and I've already left them all away.
2. I've tried to reset SMC/PRAM before. Nothing (notable) happens.
3. I've tried to restart in safe mode to check. Improved a little bit.
4. I've no empty external HDD to make it a Time Machine drive. (IDK actually if it needs to be empty also)
5. I ran Etrecheck and its report is below (after that I've repaired my disk with First Aid via Recovery Mode):

Is there anything else to be done to make my MacBook a little bit faster w/ High Sierra or only a SSD upgrade can do it for me?
Thank you in advance!
