I have an OSX development environment in which I ported a Magento db that is working fine in production.

My dev environment is using:

  • Magento 1.8.1.0
  • MySql 5.7.11
  • PHP 5.5.30
  • Apache/2.4.16 (Unix)

The backend is working fine, however the frontend is incredibly slow (2.5 minutes to load the index.html).

Do you have any idea of what is going wrong?

This are the first lines of my profiler output ordered by time (I am sorry for the pretty bad table format):

  • Could there be caching set up on production that are not set up or not working on your dev machine? Feb 11, 2016 at 17:18
  • I have disabled (from the backend) both the zend cache and the normal cache in my dev enviroment Feb 11, 2016 at 17:25
  • Disabling caching in Magento certainly makes things a lot slower, especially with Modules like ManaDev

  • If cache is turned off on dev, that's certainly slowing things down, if not the whole cause of the performance difference! Feb 12, 2016 at 12:24
  • Actually I enabled and disabled it and doesn't make a noticeable difference :/ Feb 12, 2016 at 13:43

To my future self: identify the slow call by means of the profiler, try replacing the same call with a different Magento method

e.g.

Get all subcategories:

Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCategories($catId);

Replaced with:

$categoryCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCollection()
    ->addAttributeToFilter('is_active', 1) //only active categories
    ->addAttributeToFilter('include_in_menu', 1)
    ->addFieldToFilter('parent_id', $catId)
    ->addAttributeToSort('name', 'ASC');
