(the times for DesktopServer and Local by FlyWheel are give or take a second or so between the two environments in certain cases)Īs you can see from the results, any editing work and page loads etc.

And it seemed to be predominantly Windows users experiencing speed issues, Mac users seemed to be fine. After trawling the Local Community forums and Facebook groups I’m a member of, it seems I was not the only one with speed issues. It’s super slick, and is probably as close to the perfect local development environment as I’ve discovered.īut again… almost right from the start there were speed issues with Local by FlyWheel on WordPress websites, and when using BeaverBuilder, it was even slower. Local is absolutely free, has an awesome feature set and is specifically for WordPress developers. I then discovered Local by FlyWheel and was immediately hooked. Websites would load slowly, I found it was faster to work on the internet on a staging or production server than it was to work locally, especially when working with BeaverBuilder. DesktopServer really does have great features for a WordPress developer, however this article is not a feature comparison, but a speed comparison.īut… almost right from the start I had speed issues with DesktopServer.

The free version was my starting point, I soon moved the the paid version which offers extended features. I’m getting ahead of myself, let’s circle back to provide context: My First (paid) Local Development Environment: DesktopServerĪfter using Wamp, Xampp and a few other local environments, I discovered DesktopServer through a Jesse Peterson training course. Oh and did I mention it’s free? (So are most other environments too with a handful offering premium paid upgrades). Compared to everything else, Laragon is the speed king second to none.
As mentioned previously, I’ve tried many other tools including WampServer, Bitnami, XAMPP and a few others I can’t recall as I’m writing. This article won’t be exhaustive, but will give you a good idea of my experience with Laragon and the issues I had with Local by Flywheel and DesktopServer, and why I’ve changed to Laragon. One caveat, Laragon only works with Windows, if you’re a Mac user I recommend you try Local by Flywheel. I’ll compare my experiences with Laragon against the tools I consider having the best feature-set, Local by Flywheel and DesktopServer by Serverpress. Admittedly in comparisons without BeaverBuilder, it’s also faster than anything I’ve used previously.
Until Laragon, finally I’ve found something that has a solid feature set and is also fast, super fast, specifically when I’m using BeaverBuilder, my go-to website building too. Others had a super feature-set but sorely lacked speed. Over the years I’ve tried many local development environments, some were relatively speedy, but lacked features. Laragon is my new go-to tool for local development. After a time I found a better way of doing things, that is, build websites locally and then push them live once the building part is done. I’ve been building websites for a while now, and like many of you, I started off building websites online i.e. Laragon is my Favourite Local Development Environment
