Running sites on “localhost” is extremely slow

Question

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 testi

Answer 1

I had same issues, edited my hosts file 127.0.0.1 localhost, but noticed no difference.

I then disabled Compression in the IIS panel and applied, and problem appears to now be resolved.

IIS Manager > Compression > Uncheck 'Enable dynamic content compression' and uncheck 'Enable static content compression'. Then 'Apply'.

Hope this helps!
