Why my local site is so slow?

DevKinsta Bug Reports
8

So our developers are going to try to modify the way the site files are stored on local systems so DevKinsta will eventually be faster even on WSL2 without changes. Usually WSL2 IS faster than Hyper-V but since Docker is accessing site files directly from Windows, a delay occurs/leads to slowness.

For now there are only a few options:

  1. Try to modify your .wslconfig file to see if giving Docker more resources helps (advanced): Advanced settings configuration in WSL | Microsoft Learn
    windows 10 - docker on wsl2 very slow - Stack Overflow

  2. There are people who say they have gotten Hyper-V working on Home Edition but this involves making advance PC changes: Hyper-V enabled on Windows 10 Home, verified. · Issue #915 · MicrosoftDocs/Virtualization-Documentation · GitHub

  3. If you can get Ubuntu Desktop running on your computer, DevKinsta is basically fastest on Ubuntu/Linux.

But if none of those are options, I recommend waiting for our performance update. I’m not sure when it will be completed but this is definitely a high priority for our developers.
