If it has a SSD and not a hard drive, please NEVER do a defrag

Hi Diesel you could try disabling hardware acceleration 

To disable it... type "chrome:settings" in the address bar,
Click Advanced Settings,
Then uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available" under the System header.
Close all open Chrome browser instances and restart Chrome.

In what way is it slower?
Slower to boot up?
Slower to open web pages?
Slower to react to key strokes?
