I would recommend doubling the memory from 4GB to 8GB, minimum. The results you'll encounter will be as if the laptop were much newer than a 2012 model. OWC (MacSales), mentioned here is my first go-to place for Mac improvements, as it's my perception that they speak Mac better than the competition. However, if you have more familiarity and confidence in, say, Amazon or Newegg, they're certainly as reputable.
An equally reputable, respected source for upgrade how-tos is ifixit.com---here are the pages for the 13 inch MBPro: LINK as well as the 15 incher: LINK
It's also been suggested to replace your spinning platter hard drive (if that's in fact what's currently installed) with an SSD (solid state drive). Along with a RAM upgrade these two upgrades will endow your machine with digital Viagra!

Our residence had just signed up with Cox three weeks before last years flood. In the past we made the rounds with both U-verse internet and DirecTV. Due to location our tiny development (all of maybe a dozen houses off Elliot) was limited at that time to AT&T's highest download speed, 25Mbps.
We are now entering our 8th month back with Cox, where their triple bundle was less expensive than a la carte TV and internet. This was a no-brainer buying decision that we and others soon discover.
As part of their Ultimate high speed package we get the theoretical 300Mbps max download. Within close proximity to the Panoramic gateway (modem/router combo) using Oookla's speed test I've recorded as high as 330Mbps.
As a BR resident there aren't many options customers have for TV or high speed internet, and with our 12 months with Cox coming up I decided to find out what, if any, improvements AT&T has made since we had them.
The AT&T rep assured me that in our particular location the internet download speed had since been doubled to 50Mbps. He also added that it was a fiber connection, to which I voiced my obvious disbelief. "No, it really IS fiber. To the home!", he insisted.
Further investigation on the best gateway used in new account installations revealed that it is, in fact, powered by a VDSL/ADSL modem. NOT fiber, and certainly NOT to the residence.
No matter really, as I intend to stay with Cox for at least internet. Once you're used to 300 down it's inconceivable to accept any less.
The frustrating part about it is the huge number of potential customers who aren't as tech savvy. Those I really feel for.
