DSLReports.com, ISP Information - Pale Moon Windows XP used to have issues running fast over higher latency connections hence the whole "Tweak" business grew online with tools like this and many others. More recent versions of Windows, as well as Linux and OSX and mobile devices do a good job of automatically optimising connections, and "tweaking" is just not required or in the case of Windows, even particularly easy to do. Modern broadband connections tend to get used by many services at once and tweaking a connection for higher top speed was always about optimising a SINGLE transfer. With the advent of consumer 100 to 1000 megabit and beyond connections, speed tests (which were used to "test" tweak effectiveness) now need to run multiple streams and this obscures any change in single transfer speeds.

Xampp Wordpress: Install Wordpress Locally on Windows - Pale Moon Setting up a local sever environment on your computer will save you a bunch of time if you regularly test or develop themes and plugins. Not only will your local sites run much quicker than they would online, but you’ll also have a much safer testing environment away from a live site. Having a localhost environment has dramatically improved my workflow and is even an important part of my WordPress working life. It’s such a waste of money using an online WordPress installation with a web host as a test environment!
