    Hello all,

    I have just installed WordPress Studio on my Mac and it is painfully slow. How can I speed it up?

    Cheers :-}

    It sounds like you’re hitting a common bottleneck where WordPress Studio for Mac is struggling with disk I/O or PHP memory limits, making every click feel like it’s wading through molasses. Since Studio runs locally using a lightweight environment, the “slowness” is often caused by your Mac’s File Sharing settings or a clash with background syncing apps like iCloud or Dropbox if your project folder is located within them. To give it a much-needed boost, try moving your site directory to a local folder that isn’t being actively synced, and if you’re comfortable with a bit of “under the hood” work, you can usually see a massive improvement by increasing the memory_limit and max_execution_time in your site’s local php.ini file to ensure WordPress has enough “breathing room” to process requests.
