My boot time is very long. Can somebody help me to reduce it?

This is what I got after I ran systemd-analyze blame:

     32.964s plymouth-quit-wait.service
     29.180s dev-sda1.device
     15.279s snapd.service
     15.147s networkd-dispatcher.service
     14.075s ModemManager.service
     13.847s udisks2.service
     13.719s apparmor.service
     13.429s systemd-journal-flush.service
     13.245s accounts-daemon.service
     12.129s dev-loop10.device
     11.935s dev-loop16.device
     11.723s dev-loop15.device
     11.307s dev-loop8.device
     11.133s dev-loop9.device
     10.483s dev-loop14.device
     10.394s dev-loop12.device
     10.242s dev-loop7.device
      9.508s grub-common.service
      9.087s avahi-daemon.service
      8.934s apport.service
      8.915s rsyslog.service
      8.897s bluetooth.service
      8.647s dev-loop1.device

By looking at the output, I could find that the maximum time is consumed by plymouth-quit-wait but note that it cannot be disabled since Plymouth is the application which provides the graphical "splash" screen when booting and shutting down an Ubuntu system. I can give a workaround for you so that the machine starts faster.

Disable plymouth in grub using

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

and change the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT into

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noplymouth video=SVIDEO-1:d"

Save the file by using Ctrlx + y + Enter

sudo update-grub

and then restart the machine

Do you use snap packages on your system? if no, you can diable snap 

sudo systemctl disable snapd

Similarly, disable the services listed below using the above command. just replace the package name.

sudo systemctl disable <packagename>
ModemManager.service
apport.service
accounts-daemon.service
avahi-daemon.service
systemd-journal-flush.service
apparmor.service

If you do not use bluetooth, disable it using sudo systemctl disable bluetooth
