I use XAMPP on windows 7, with Visual Studio and XDebug.
But in 2 years not solved the big problem, and now im very frustrated.
Localhost WordPress websites in my localhost xampp server are very too slow.
Load a page take 3-4 seconds with XDebug enabled, 1-2 seconds if disabled.
This is incredible for many reasons like:
1) My PC is super fast: 2xSSD, 16GB RAM, 8CORE CPU, but XAMPP not use my power and stay slow.
2) When website is live on a shared hosting of 80$/years, it is more fast.
With this situation performance seem not related to PC power, so I think if i have for example 128GB RAM, 10xSSD in RAID and more, performance stay same. But how can be this possible?
I already tried all solutions found on web:
1) Enabled PHP accellerator (not change nothing)
2) Enable / disable lots of php.ini options
3) Encrease php memory limit
4) Change host file of windows.
Nothing improve performance. I not think i will found a solution, but if there is someone that can explain me why hardware can not improve performance is almost a useful info 🙂
Thank you!
I found a partial solution, disable xdebug and enable it only when required:
“C:xamppphpextphp_xdebug-2.2.6-5.5-vc11.dll” (or your path)
uncomment it and restart apache
