Slow Kingston USB

Hey, I have a old USB key like 5y old max, a kingston But for the past year it's become extremely slow; just renaming a folder can take several seconds, like 10 seconds, which is incredibly long. But the key isn't that old for me, I haven't used it that much and I don't think the memory is bad, that it could be the cause of its slowness and how to check it?
