Since upgrading to Monterey, any internet operation is slow - painfully slow. Can take several minutes to load a page in Safari or update the Notes through iCloud. I have tried all the the advice e.g. resetting SMC. NVRAM, emptying cache, etc apart from downgrading to Big Sur as this seems a drastic step.
Getting this line return in took one minute!
When are Apple going to release an update to Monterey which will address this issue?
iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 12.0
To further previous posting regarding CleanMyMac - the first 600 posting on the ASC Forums as a testament to the damages this application can and will cause the OS. It may even require Reinstallation after it is removed as per Developers Instructions

Is the issue Only Speed of internet ?
Point # 2 - Are there any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaner, Optimizers, Un-installers, etc installed which should be removed as per Developers Instructions. They are useless, unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS and may even Corrupt the OS requiring a Reinstallation.
The The Built in Security is all that is required.
Point # 2 A - Commercial VPNs should only be used if Mandated by Corporate Head Office for working remotely. Otherwise - ones Privacy and Security touted by the VPN is suspect.
Clean my Mac has been known to cause problem. Such apps are not needed too. I would uninstall them using the developer's instructions.
You just installed Monterey yesterday and after an upgrade the new OS has to disk indexing and other things which slow the computer. I can see this since MDworker is taking CPU and that is the Spotlight search indexing.

Thanks for your help. I installed Monterey over a month ago and since was painfully slow. iMac was installed with a mechanical drive which was quite slow. Upgrading to Monterey from Big Sur slowed it down even further. I upgraded the mechanical drive to an SSD which improved performance for anything except network operations.
I enabled TRIM on the SSD - which seems to have helped alongside removing CleanMyMac.
These two actions have seemed to restore performance.
Thank you - I removed CleanMyMac and alongside enabling TRIM, it seems to have restored performance.
Monterey extremely slow
