High CPU Usage While Multitasking
I'm currently using a DELL inspiron laptop core i7-8th gen, 16GB RAM and overall it works fine for daily use. However, I have noticed that the system slow down whenever I multitask heavily, especially when i am running multiple browser tabs for managing my website content updates, SEO checks, and speed testing. Sometimes the CPU usage spikes close to 100%, which affects my workflow.
Has anyone else experienced similar performance issues on Inspiron laptops when handling web-related tasks? Are there any BIOS settings, driver updates, or performance optimizations that you would recommend to make the system run more smoothly?

Even when new, this wasn't designed for high workloads -- and at about eight years old, that will not have improved over the years. Browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc.) tend to be memory intensive. That shouldn't overload the CPU unless you're running computations locally (including spreadsheet work).
Has the system had a thorough internal cleaning and have the thermal pads been replaced? If not, both are long overdue for a system this old and may also help.
Is the system running a hard drive or a native SSD?

Last year, I gave my laptop to a technician for a full service. He cleaned the fan and the internal board. At that time, my laptop was running slow, but after the service it started working perfectly. However, ever since that service, my laptop has gradually started lagging again. I was using simple hard drive but Now My system running on SSD 250GB
