Magento 1.8 is painfully slow on my wamp localhost

Question

Magento 1.8 is painfully slow on my wamp localhost.

I have increased the memory in php.ini, following this answer,

max_execution_time = 1800
memory_limit = 512M

But it is still very very slow.

Anything else can I do?

Try chnaging the mysql connection from using `localhost` to using `127.0.0.1` — RiggsFolly, Jun 20 '14 at 22:59
Probably solvable by having faster hardware. WAMP can be pretty doggy unless it's got some hp underneath. — Fiasco Labs, Jun 21 '14 at 19:59

I have found the same basic behavior. Have you looked into installing APC plugin into php? Magento benefits greatly from having an opcode cache available.

I haven't installed APC. – Run Jun 20 '14 at 14:58
APC does not show on my PHP extension list after installing following this http://blog.lardev.com/2011/07/06/install-apc-on-wamp-server/ I'm on php 5.5 – Run Jun 20 '14 at 15:15

Late reply, PHP 5.5 has its own built-in opcode cache. I'm not sure how to assist you on that. – Caleb Oct 03 '14 at 19:32

I will suggest you to use xampp server it's faster than wamp server.

WAMPServer and XAMPP are basically the same thing. Switching will probably solve nothing – RiggsFolly Jun 20 '14 at 22:58
Xampp is also Painfully slow – Pratik Joshi Oct 05 '15 at 05:34

A bit late answering, but might help someone...

I had the same problem with WampServer 10-15 second page load times. I eventually found this post in the wampserver forum http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,119754

It takes you through setting up wampserver after installation httd.conf, php.ini & my.ini with options for other variables eg IPv4 or IPv6

It worked for me, page load times dropped to 1 - 2 seconds.
