Local UI extremely slow after update

What issue or error are you experiencing?

I recently updated to Version 9.2.4+6788 after a few months of not updating and it is painfully slow now — the UI, the sites run fine. As in, it took it ~4-5 seconds to show me the “About Local” popup. If I click on a site, it takes ~4-5 seconds to show that sites details. Everything is immensely delayed. Local has always been very fast.


What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

The issue is consistent for me. I’ve closed and restarted Local with no success. It’s just slow.


System Details

  • Local Version:
    Version 9.2.4+6788

Hi @jasontheadams! We had a thread about this recently and the TLDR is that you might be running the Intel version of Local instead of the Apple Silicon.
