And the internal storage is among the several factors which decided your device performance. “Lower the memory space, slower the performance “. The solution is to free up some memory by uploading your data to cloud storage, use services like Dropbox or Google Drive.
2. Uninstall/Disable unused apps
The second tip is uninstall some of the apps or disable them.. Means try to uninstall or just disable some of the apps that you haven’t used in a while. Doing so will result in less load and better performance. To uninstall an app GO TO>> Setting>> Apps>> Select the app you want to uninstall. But some pre-loaded apps cannot be uninstalled so just disable them using the above method.

The best and important feature of Android OS is availability of number of widgets for various purposes. Like Facebook widget which gives you each and every update and notification directly on the home screen, but it is also a fact that too many widgets on the home screen can slow your device.
My suggestion is to limit the use of widgets or remove the unneeded widget from the home screen, which increases the speed of device. You can remove the widgets by pressing and holding the preferred widget for 2 seconds and then click on remove icon to remove it from the home screen. Removing heavy widgets will surely benefit your device with better performance.
