Issue Summary I’m working in a wordpress site with local and windows 10 and is too slow. The website hardly has plugins. Is quite light. I don’t know why is so slow. Troubleshooting Questions Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one in particular? I only have one site. Are you abl…

This is really great info, thanks for sharing! In addition to responding here in the forums, I’m trying to improve the automated testing Local has for the various build targets we support. I’m curious how your are testing performance – is it mostly just a “it feels slow” process, or are you using …

Well I am back on Local after Serverpress got unusable too. Local is currently loading pages between 1-2 seconds… so not as good as a linux droplet, but a big improvement from my earlier post! I think one thing that made a big difference was nuking my database and starting from scratch. Per the abov…

[image] helgatheviking: It still feels like there’s a delay in resolving the DNS… but that’s purely a hunch since Query Monitor doesn’t say there are any slow queries or API calls (usually in Airplane mode) DNS feels like a good hunch, I’d also be curious about DB queries. If you feel comfor…

I’ve also successfully run WordPress on docker container while building plugins and all looks good and very fast too as I was running it on WSL2 on windows 10. This way, I am able to use any version of WordPress I want and run as many as I want, and the speed is great. So it solves the speed issue…

For what it’s worth, one of the things that was making the sites crawl to a standstill was WooCommerce’s admin. As a Woo dev I always have Woo active and can’t disable the whole plugin However, I installed Disable WooCommerce Bloat – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org and it helped IMMENSELY. I am ru…

Another problem I think I am noticing… when i trust the SSL for my site, Firefox is attempting to perform a TLS handshake which feels like it’s pretty slow. It’s also completely unnecessary since it’s a local site. So far I don’t see a way to disable that for a specific domain/cert without disablin…

Since this thread seems active, I’ll throw in here too. I’m running Local on three different Windows PC’s, I’ll provide specs below. On each one I’m experiencing drastic slowdowns with basic usage of Local and WordPress, I’ll also provide a list of common plugin/theme I use should that help diagno…

It’s been several months, are we to assume this means Windows users should simply look elsewhere for their local development? I see in another thread the promise of finally updating PHP versions is in the works, but without an ETA is not encouraging. I am a relatively new user to Local, however it…

I have the same question as ArashiInteractive, above–should Windows 10 / Windows 11 users simply look elsewhere for their local development? And does anyone have alternative suggestions for relatively easy to set-up local development environments? …Maybe Laragon? It has benchmarks specifically adve…

Hi guys, I have a simple but good solution that worked for me. Background I had a similar issue with speed. The website (including wordpress dashboard) was so slow and I didn’t know what to do for roughly a couple of hours because it was fast. I stumbled on this thread after I exhausted all my op…
