When I first installed Local it was pretty quick but now it’s very slow, in the order of 10 or more seconds to load a page! I just updated to Local 2.2.4 but no change. I have the ‘Faster Docker Volumes’ and ‘IPv6 Loopback’ options enabled but still no difference. I really like using Local but it’…

Thank you - all other solutions (opache, xdebug, firewall, etc) had no effect on page load time - this fixed it and site now loads (almost) instantly.

None of these worked for me… brand new laptop with AMD Ryzen 74800. (bitdefender exclusions, xdebug turned off, opache settings added…)

I was trying to add \AppData\Local\Programs\Local\resources to my anti-virus exclusions… but that folder doesn’t exist. has that changed? are the executables located somewhere else?

Followed the instructions at Performance issues with Local on Windows 10 and admin pages are still taking 25 seconds. This is pretty much unusable as I am trying to develop something in the admin section. Is there any other suggestion?

[image] karlbovski: The “trick” to change DB_HOST from localhost to 127.0.0.1 That makes me think that it has something to do with the DNS resolution within Windows – ie, something within the Windows setup is taking a long time to figure out that localhost is the same as the 127.0.0.1 IP addr…
