I’m a huge fan of localWP, but it’s not working well for me. It’s very slow to while opening the site and updating the plugin, around 5-6 minutes. I made a new local site, but it was the same.
I got an error message while using the new site.
An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the [support forums](https://wordpress.org/support/forums/).
On the document I sent above, there are some troubleshooting steps specifically for Windows you can try as well. If you’ve gone through the doc and nothing is helping let us know!
The logs are full of timeout errors and Could not Update Hosts. It seems like some connection trouble is still at play and something within your setup could be blocking Local from completing requests.
I did a test with a new site, but it was still slow as before.
I checked the settings and they were already set to preferred by default. I didn’t use the custom option. I entered my own username and password when I set up the WordPress configuration.
Have you reviewed the document here to see if you have any conflicting applications? What is Router Mode? - Local
What folder are your sites saved in? Some users have seen improvements by moving their site out of the default path (C:\Users\{user-name}\Local Sites) and placing the site in another folder. This file path can be set during site creation. A global default for new sites can be set in Local’s Preferences.
