I have noticed that my XAMPP server is running pretty slowly at the moment - i.e. taking longer to refresh, scrolling has become jerky etc. One thing I have recently done is install Modx to play around with - would this be the cause? And if so, what can I do to fix it? Is there anything else I can do to reduce the lag?

 

Thanks

What is the web server doing exactly? when happens when you go to http://localhost?

What browser?

How much RAM, is your machine using / have left?

Have you stop Apache and restarted it? And do you have Apache running as a service or not?

Browser: Firefox

Port: 80

 

I have disabled Firewall and restarted Apache with no improvement.

I'm not connecting to a remote database.

Here is a screenshot of my Task Manager hopefully this will answer your other questions?

Okay seems "normal" to me. Are you running Apache as a service? What is the web server doing?

I don't understand what you mean by 'what is it doing'? If you mean what am I using it for I am just using it for testing my sites - I'm not providing a service with it. Actually I think Firefox in genereal seems a bit slow, but most noticable when viewing my sites on XAMPP. Can I overload the XAMPP folder with too much stuff? Could that be the cause?

Hi!

 

A problem with "scrolling" isn't a problem with XAMPP - that usually points back at the browser, which may be using plugins or is simply being held back by a lack of resources on your computer.

 

From the task manager screenshot, it seems there's something running on your computer that's being a CPU hog, and that could be slowing down your browser.
