Why is Mac mini taking a long time to boot up?
OS version: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 Mac
version: Mac mini (Late 2012), HDD replaced with SSD, RAM increased to 16 gigs.
The sequence of actions is as follows: I press the power button, the power-up sound sounds, nothing appears on the screen for about 3 minutes, just a black screen (it seems like the monitor is not turned on at all at this moment), then a screen with a loading bar appears for a couple of seconds and immediately enters system.
The problem itself has been around for a long time, so remember what was installed there, etc. it won’t work anymore, but before it didn’t cause such inconvenience because it loaded faster, but it seems that every day a second is added to the load and it has already reached a completely uncomfortable 3 minutes.

Open Terminal, type top, hit enter. Show processes and resources.
Open Console and see system log, or something like that. There, loading errors are usually displayed. Except for deep hardware issues.
