WAMP XAMPP is responding very slow over localhost

Question

I don t know what the problem is  WAMP was very slow  so I reformatted my computer and installed WAMP  Still  accessing localhost is very  very slow  and sometimes it doesn t even load at all  I even removed it and replaced it with XAMPP  but I still got the same result  What might possibly be the problem  Here s my current hosts file   127 0 0 1       localhost  127 0 0 1       localhost   It was perfectly working fine before  but I do not know what happened and why it has started acting strange lately  since even a reformat didn t fix it

I had the same problem  Response times were extremly slow and refreshes worked quickly  most of the time  All suggestions made by bicycle didn t help  What seems to help best so far  no slow response times for the last 30mins  was to reset winsock as explained here  http   www devside net wamp-server wamp-is-running-very-slow  netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset C  resetlog txt   You need to restart after this

After trying some answers and comments here  I finally found a solution  In this article The correct way to configure PHP I find a new way to configure PHP as a module in Apache   For the author of this article  the official way to configure PHP is not the most optimal  The common and inappropriate way to configure PHP is this one      For PHP 5  LoadModule php5 module  c  php php5apache2 dll  AddType application x-httpd-php  php PHPIniDir  C  php    I ve always done it this way  but in the article  it s suggested to configure the PHP module this way    For PHP5 LoadFile  C  www php5 php5ts dll  LoadModule php5 module  C  www php5 php5apache2 dll    lt IfModule php5 module gt       PHPIniDir  C  Windows       PHPIniDir  C  Winnt        lt Location   gt          AddType text html  php  phps         AddHandler application x-httpd-php  php         AddHandler application x-httpd-php-source  phps      lt  Location gt    lt  IfModule gt    I even have IPV6 enabled  and my loading time drop down from 45 secs or 1 minute or more  to just 2 or 4 seconds  Thanks to other answers mentioned here  I also left enabled in my general configuration the following  HOST FILE   127 0 0 1       localhost 127 0 0 1       127 0 0 1       1         localhost   HTTPD CONF  EnableMMAP on EnableSendfile on AcceptFilter http none  AcceptFilter https none HostnameLookups Off   Other than that  I rolled back all other solutions I tried  so I m sure this is the only ones that I used

I have had suspicions Chrome is starting to get stupid and bulky for a while  and my problems started after updating it  Since Ampps worked better when connected to Internet I put 1   1 together  Under Chrome Advanced settings try to dig into the Preload webpages for better performance feature  And kill it    Ironic  but not unexpected  as it seems to get confused about preloading Localhost  In my case it was the instant fix after hours of wasted config fiddling and weeks of suffering   Thank you Google devs

I had this problem too   I added the entries suggested above but it failed to work   It was due to the fact Spybot Search and Destroy had added 15 000 lines of immunized site  ie prevents you from visiting them  to my hosts file   My hosts file was 433k - I removed those lines and my page load speed improved immensely

The solution that worked for me was to disable the cgi module  Use one of these methods    Method 1  Right click on WAMP   Apache   Apache Modules   uncheck  cgi module    Method 2  Edit httpd conf and disable the loading of the CGI module by commenting this line   LoadModule cgi module modules mod cgi so   Commenting would be just adding a   in front  like this    LoadModule cgi module modules mod cgi so   Restart the Apache service and you should be good to go

As most of the answers have pointed out  using the IP address 127 0 0 1 over  localhost  will sometimes help the slowness issue - but this isn t really a solution because it does not fix the underlining problem   What makes this problem hard  and hit-and-miss   is it can be caused by about a dozen different things between the OS  the WAMP configuration  and your Browser    Remove   1 localhost from your Windows hosts file  and make sure 127 0 0 1 localhost is present  You want your request to go directly to the listening IPv4 socket  Disable IPv6 on your system  You are most likely not using it  and it has been known to cause all kinds of issues  Exclude your Apache and MySQL binary paths  and the Database folder  from your firewall and anti-virus software  They will interfere and slow things down  Reset your TCP IP sub-system and reboot  netsh int ip reset c  resetlog txt Make sure your system is not using stale DNS servers  ipconfig  all Flush Windows DNS cache  ipconfig  flushdns Clear your Browser s Cache    A little more in-depth is this guide  WAMP is Running Very Slow

I run on wamp and I had this problem once  There can be many factors to this though there is 5 main ones that come to my mind   1st  A program can cause this Even antivirus software just depends what you have    2nd  Is your computer full or using alot of space this happen to a partner site of mine   3rd  Check your regerstry files there could be errors or other things   This end up being my problem    4th  After you uninstalled it did you manually delete the files that were left on your computer  Yes even after you uninstall with wamp it has a tendency to leave a folder or 2 with some important data on it  When you install this will not be remodified and will stay the same    5th  Download the latest wamp or the lastest stable version of it   Hope one of these things help

I had the same problem running on Windows 8 running on 64bit  Apache is really slow but when you press F5 many times it goes ok  In the end i after doing many things managed to solve it  Right now it works fast    Try the following tasks to increase the performance   Change apache s listening port  Change listening port from 80 to 8080 to avoid conflicts with programs like Skype  Open  your httpd conf file and find the line that starts with Listen  it s around line 62   Change it like the following  Listen 127 0 0 1 8080    Change your powerplan  Change your power plan from Balanced to High Performance  You can do this in Control Panel All Control Panel Items Power Options    Disable IPv6  The credits of this particular task go to Jef where he pointed this out in his blog post  From the Windows 8 desktop  press the Windows Key and the R key at the same time    Type regedit in the Run dialog box and click OK    Use Registry Editor to expand the registry tree and browse to    HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services TCPIP6 Parameters     Right click on Parameters  expand New  and select DWORD  32-bit  Value    Enter DisabledComponents into the Name field    Double click on the new DisabledComponents value  enter ffffffff into the Value data dialog box  and click the OK button    Confirm the new registry value contains the required data      Change your etc hosts  If you use virtual hosts don t add each virtual host on a new line  Instead list them like the following   127 0 0 1       site-a     site-b    site-c  I also added 127 0 0 1 127 0 0 1 since I heard this somehow improves the lookup as well   Can t confirm this but it can t hurt putting it there       Your hosts file is located at C  Windows System32 Drivers etc  Check how many apache processes are running  In my case I had two apache processes running  Be sure you only have one running  You can check this by pressing CTRL ALT DEL and press Task Manager    Turn off the Base Filtering Engine  BFE   What I find to be working a bit as well was turning off the Base Filtering Engine  Since stopping or disabling the BFE service will significantly reduce the security of the system you should only do this when needed    Go to Control Panel    Administrative Tools    Services    Base Filtering Engine    Stop the Base Filtering Engine by clicking on Stop    Increase Apache s process priority  To to your task manager and change Apache s process priority from Normal to High by right clicking -  Set priority -  High   Keep Apache s process busy  This is a bit of an ugly method but it does certainly work  It keeps Apache busy and will process your own requests faster  Insert your local web-address in the iframe location and save it in a html file  run it and just leave it there until you re done     lt html gt       lt head gt    lt script gt  setTimeout function       window location reload 1      2000     lt  script gt    lt  head gt   lt body gt   lt iframe name  iframe  id  iframe  src  http   mywebsite 8080  gt  lt  iframe gt      lt  body gt   lt  html gt    Downgrade to Windows 7 Pro  As a Windows 8 Pro user you are entitled to have downgrade rights to Windows 7  Read here more about this  For me that was the only solution that really did the job properly    Good luck
