As far as I know, disk defragmenting is not something a user should (or
even can) do on a Mac. The same situation is with any Unix machines.
Even under Windows, - disk defragmentation should be done on FAT files
system, but many argue that it should be done differently on NTFS.
It shouldn't be done on SSD drives. On spinning HDDs, individual files
should be defragmented, but not the entire disk, as it used to be
done on FAT disks.
Read, e.g. this page:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2007.11.desktopfiles.aspx
And some people even argue that even this degrag should be done
infrequently, and primarily on files like "pagefile", registries, etc.

I don't know that much about Macs but on Windows the you only need about
twice as much paging file as actual physical memory, and if you're hard
drive which you seem to have. But if your drive is fragmented then even
with enough paging file, it can slow down the system when more paging
space is allocated. I don't know if disk defragmenting is a thing with a
Mac, but if it I'd try that first.
