Local not loading WP or very very very slowly

Issue Summary

Since a few days, Local.app has been extremely slow as if there is no internet connection although all other sites/app work fine. I used to be able to have my site’url to site.local but now it is set to local host (didn’t ask for that)I have restarted my computer (Macos), restarted Local.app, reinstalled local.app but either it loads the site (back and front) in minutes or it never loads at all. Site is a duplicate from an UpdraftPlus backup of a Prod Site that’s working fine. I absolutely need to make the local site working since I have been making many changes (slowly)

Update : I changed from localhost to site.local in the preferences and now it says there is a port conflict and the site doesn’t load at all… So again back to localhost and now it works !!! So strange

Troubleshooting Questions

Happens only with Local.app, other sites on Local don’t load fast either. But they all have been working previously. I suspect the latest version of Local.app (6.1.15) to be a culprit, but there isn’t any old versions link to be found…

I can create a new blank site and load it fast without any problem
