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 added `LoadModule php5_module "C:/xampp/php/php5apache2_2.dll"` on htpd.conf and restarted it but it didn't help at all. — FBwall, Dec 08 '11 at 14:46
I have also the same issue. The issue was with Apache's main settings file httpd.conf. See this link for a solution that worked for me: http://serverfault.com/questions/66347/localhost-response-very-slow-why — jiten, Dec 08 '11 at 14:39
Hmm, do you have a fresh install of xampp or do you have any frameworks running? Also you dont need this line `127.0.0.1 localhost` in the hosts file twice so try taking one out — cowls, Dec 08 '11 at 16:18
the problem got fixed, i did nothing. It just suddenly responded fast again after a couple of days. Sigh. — FBwall, Dec 11 '11 at 10:29
@all, I have a question for those that proposed solutions that involve adding or replacing text with `127.0.0.1`: what happens if you access `127.0.0.2`, or `127.1.2.3` or some other loopback address? For example, if MySQL is bound to `127.0.0.2`, will hard-coding `127.0.0.1` in the Apache conf files still work? — Synetech, Nov 19 '13 at 21:28
I've tried EVERY SINGLE suggestion in this thread and NOTHING, my localhost is still TOO SLOW. I even didn't use WAMP or XAMPP I installed Apache, PHP and MySQL manually, and it takes about 45 secs every page load =/ This is reaaaaally annoying -_- — Metafaniel, Feb 24 '15 at 15:36

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

enter image description here

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

enter image description here

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

enter image description here

Type regedit in the Run dialog box and click OK

enter image description here

Use Registry Editor to expand the registry tree and browse to:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP6\Parameters

enter image description here

Right click on Parameters, expand New, and select DWORD (32-bit) Value

enter image description here

Enter DisabledComponents into the Name field

enter image description here

Double click on the new DisabledComponents value, enter ffffffff into the Value data dialog box, and click the OK button

enter image description here

Confirm the new registry value contains the required data.

enter image description here

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)

enter image description here

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

enter image description here

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

enter image description here

Stop the Base Filtering Engine by clicking on Stop

enter image description here

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 enter image description here

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.

<html>
    <head>

<script>
setTimeout(function(){
   window.location.reload(1);
}, 2000);

</script>

</head>
<body>
<iframe name="iframe" id="iframe" src="http://mywebsite:8080"></iframe> 


</body>
</html>

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.

`I also added 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1` That’s not even valid syntax for a `HOSTS` file; you cannot remap an IP address. `Check how many apache processes are running. In my case I had two apache processes running. Be sure you only have one running.` What‽ You’re *supposed* to have two instances of `httpd.exe`; that’s [expected and normal](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/platform/windows.html#cust). The second one is the worker which does the main work, and the first is just the monitor which can restart the worker if it crashes. You only get one in *debug mode* which is not meant for regular use. – Synetech Nov 20 '13 at 22:10
All these things may be not valid, regular, etc but at least it makes apache go faster. That you have to wait ten seconds to load a page is also not expected but is regular in Windows systems. In the end it may be better to switch to Mac or Ubuntu if you don't mind the bugs within the system. – bicycle Nov 20 '13 at 23:08
Very nice, thorough comment, but with little downside for me... instead of putting Apache on port 8080, we'd better disallow Skype to use ports 80 and 443. It is done in Skype's connection settings. Pointing to 8080 is not a good practice from a developer's point of view, basically because it may conflict with Apache Tomcat that runs on default on 8080, and is also included in the XAMPP package. – Martin Asenov Jan 27 '14 at 18:36

@MartinAsenov: if it's only Skype, that's fine, Skype can be easily redirected to another port. But I have port 80 issues with few other programs like [Dropbox](http://superuser.com/q/850749/373304), which is not so easy to move to another port. – Pavel V. Dec 18 '14 at 07:09
I suggest to put Stephan's apprach (change localhost to 127.0.0.1) at the top of the list, since this seems to be the reason very often and is quite easy to test. – user2345998 Jun 24 '15 at 12:33

"In my case I had two apache processes running. Be sure you only have one running. " - stopping one of them will also kill the other one. Not helpful. – phil294 Oct 24 '15 at 13:53

We should follow [Microsoft's recommendations about disabling IPv6](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/network/cc987595.aspx) - [Reference Link](https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/929852/how-to-disable-ipv6-or-its-components-in-windows) – webcoder Mar 10 '17 at 04:52
One more tip, you are limited to 10 hosts per line in the hosts file. Once you add that 11th one it'll stop recognizing them so make sure you don't add too many on a single line... Thanks Microsoft! – Xedecimal Jun 07 '18 at 17:46
*Change your etc/hosts [...] don't add each virtual host on a new line.* pointed me in the right direction. It turns out that for some unknown reason I had multiple `127.0.0.1 localhost` lines in my hosts file; after removing the extra ones, page loads went from over 5 seconds on average, to under 1 s. – dregad Feb 13 '19 at 08:03

This is caused by IPV6. Here is how you make MYSQL not use it. (so, without disabling IPV6)

edit mysql file 'my.ini'

under [wampmysqld] or [mysqld] add the following:

bind-address = ::

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 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

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"

<IfModule php5_module>
    #PHPIniDir "C:/Windows"
    #PHPIniDir "C:/Winnt"

    <Location />
        AddType text/html .php .phps
        AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
        AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    </Location>

</IfModule>

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.

If you are using PHP Xdebug for debugging purpose, remove that file. It worked for me. The response time reduced from 950ms to 125ms.

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.

Just try "Incognito" mode in Chrome.

Finally, this helped me to solve my issue.

Please keep your mind, this is not a permanent solution.

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.

WAMP/XAMPP is responding very slow over localhost

Turn off the Base Filtering Engine (BFE)

Increase Apache's process priority

Keep Apache's process busy

Downgrade to Windows 7 Pro
