Thanks @Mitrol, I just tried adjusting this but it did not help.  I'm at CPUs: 4 / Memory: 5gb / Swap:2gb / Disk image size: 360gb

<p>I found the same issue and finally <a href="https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/install/performance/#filesystem-performance" rel="nofollow noreferrer">enabled mutagen</a>:</p>
<pre><code>   ddev stop    
   ddev config global --mutagen-enabled
   ddev start
</code></pre>
<p>This took me from a loading time of 10s to less than 50ms. The only issue I've found is that it takes updates about 20s to propagate.</p>

<p>Set up my first Craft 4 install locally on DDEV on OSX Monterey, followed the install guide here <a href="https://craftcms.com/docs/4.x/installation.html#quick-start" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://craftcms.com/docs/4.x/installation.html#quick-start</a></p>
<p>Seems to be working fine except its slow, the admin takes 5-10 seconds to load a page.</p>
<p>Turned off dev mode, no change.</p>
<p>Any pointers for how to troubleshoot this and get it up to speed?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Edit: It works perfectly and very fast when uploaded to the server, so the install itself is fine I guess.</p>

Craft 4 slow on DDEV OSX Monterey
# Craft 4 slow on DDEV OSX Monterey

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-01-11)

Set up my first Craft 4 install locally on DDEV on OSX Monterey, followed the install guide here <https://craftcms.com/docs/4.x/installation.html#quick-start>

Seems to be working fine except its slow, the admin takes 5-10 seconds to load a page.

Turned off dev mode, no change.

Any pointers for how to troubleshoot this and get it up to speed?

Thanks.

Edit: It works perfectly and very fast when uploaded to the server, so the install itself is fine I guess.

I’m using Ventura, but I don’t recall Craft being slow on Monterey.

Did you allocate enough resources in Docker? (Settings button in the top right > Resources.)

I currently have:

CPUs: 5 / Memory: 10gb / Swap:2gb / Disk image size: 136gb
