Running sites on "localhost" is extremely slow
asp.net, firefox, loading, localhost, performance
Solution
I had the same problem with PHP. I solved it by changing "localhost" to "127.0.0.1" in database connection parameters like someone suggested here: https://serverfault.com/a/444338/62739 . I think it may work for you too, give it a try.
Problem
Having real trouble using my localhost to test sites. It runs extremely slowly! Sometimes it takes up to a minute to load a page. I'm using Firefox and the sites I'm testing run fine on other developers in my office's local machines / on the production server. I've gone through the normal things :- - Disabled IPv6 - Not running in debug mode - Put the site in the highest app pool (High Isolated) on IIS 6. - Taking of firewalls etc. The problem only seems to occur when hitting pages which contain some form of .net code in the code-behind. Appreciate that this a little bit of a vague topic / stab in the dark but would appreciate any sort of advice - it's horrible waiting a minute each refresh to try out a change! Cheers, Sean.
