XAMPP / WAMP / whatever it is: Apache is running super slow

Question

I've got my Windows PC (localhost) running XAMPP. It loads the pages sometimes really quick or sometimes really slow.

So, I figured and searched and was recommended to get WAMP. I got that and installed it. Still, the pages load so damn slowly. No heavy CPU load or anything, all my ports are open too.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Here's a solution that really worked for me.

One thing to try is changing the following two entries in apache/conf/httpd.conf from OFF to ON:

EnableMMAP on
EnableSendfile on

Also, enable and set realpath_cache_size= 4m to your php.ini file.

If your are using InnoDB database also enable and set in my.ini:

innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2

Finally, it seems it worked for some people: edit your host (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) by adding

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1

And commenting:

\# ::1 localhost
