Nexus 7 been slow lately

My N7 has been slow lately even on stock.Any ideas on how to fix it?Apps sometime take forever to open.Chrome seems a bit laggy at times.
 
when mine bogs down, always one of the following sets it straight:
reboot.
clear cache.
clear cache in recovery.
run lagfix. i know trim should be taking care of things, but i'm not so sure sometimes. so i run lagfix, do a reboot, and almost always am good to go.

here is lagfix:

every once in awhile i also do a factory reset. don't really understand why folks use this a last resort. it always gives the device a clean slate, and since i like to fiddle with my devices anyway, it is enjoyable to me setting things up afresh.
 
Simply free the memory from time to time, there are dedicated apps for that purpose. If you have more than one user account on your device, disable auto-update for apps on those accounts as much as possible. Restart the device also helps.
 
At one GB free storage my n7 becomes a jobby in my hand lol.
Get this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.cache
And use the one tap widget.
Also if you're rooted, install Franco Kernel. It's completely maintenance free and drastically speeds up your tab.
Here's the easy lazy way to do it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel.free
You'll notice a huge improvement but some battery impact.
(i hadn't even known there was a free version lol I bought it ages ago. Tbh I wanted to donate anyway)
 
i have noticed this as well. getting really annoyed :/ after updating to 4.4.3; i noticed that my wifi radio has been acting sketchy; it randomly kicks me off my network; and 3 other people are using it perfectly fine-but my tiny wifi tablet doesnt want to work. running all access music; constant skipping even when i downloaded all the music to the device (no internet connection needed to play music saved to the device) uggghhh can someone help me??
 
Personally, I have noticed that last 6 months whenever my N7 slows down I kill chrome and everything is fine again. Once or twice I had to kill chrome and google play.
