Check how long it takes to boot:

systemd-analyze time

returns

Startup finished in 16.619s (firmware) + 10.201s (loader) + 36.729s (kernel) + 41.034s (userspace) = 1min 44.586s
graphical.target reached after 23.396s in userspace

systemd-analyze blame

and now analyze each major process. For example, to get further information on the AppArmor Service, to see if you can disable it or speed it up, use:

systemctl status apparmor.service

returns:

-- Logs begin at Sun 2019-11-24 02:17:01 GMT, end at Mon 2019-11-25 21:05:42 GMT. --
-- No entries --

If you want to disable auto-starting of services during boot you can use the following command:

sudo systemctl disable some-time-eater-service.service --now

However, you might want to see which other services needs the service in question. To check use the following command

systemctl list-dependencies some-time-eater-service.service --reverse

Note: Replace some-time-eater-service.service with actual service name like postgresql@9.5-main.service.

Note that, disabling auto-start doesn't make a service non-startable. The service can be started after boot when requirement arises. If you want to completely disable it, read the next section

If you want to completely disable a service so that it can't be started, you should use mask instead of disable. Like this

sudo systemctl mask <SERVICE-NAME>

Replace the <SERVICE-NAME> with actual name of a service

The difference between mask and disable is mask make a service completely disable, you can't start it. You must unmask to start it with systemd (you can still start with service). But disable simply disable auto-start of a service, you can start it later.

For example, After masking my postgresql@9.5-main.service service, when I wanted to start it with systemctl the following message is shown

Failed to start postgresql@9.5-main.service: Unit postgresql@9.5-main.service is masked.
