Your laptop is showing its age. Last version of a CQ58 laptop was released in 2013.
You can only improve performance so far by increasing the amount of ram (model number needs to be known though) and also if there's a HDD installed by upgrading to an SSD.
Other than that you may be limited as to what more you can do.
Depending on the exact model you may be able to upgrade the CPU but maybe not and then if it is a removable CPU and not hard mounted, the upgrade choices may be limited by the motherboard's chipset model and BIOS version as they may not be compatible.
