Pull up task manager then to start up  look for items that show a lot of impact  and you can highlight to disable. You may just have too much running at the same time

All the other suggestions are valuable, but the first thing I would do is go to a site where you can test your download speed. Internet providers often tell you everything is fine when sometimes it is not. ookla speed test is good and it only takes a second if your speed is fine. Just to be sure before moving on to the next steps.

This is a very good place to start. Very often a process will be grabbing and using tons of memory and/or CPU. I had an issue with a plug-in grabbing 90+% of my CPU which made the computer crawl. Shutting down the process that's hogging the resources restored the speed. If it's a recurring issue, deleting the offending program should solve the problem.
