deploying static content is not a solution to this, obviously local environment is meant for developing in so you have develop mode set and caching off. It is painfully slow to develop in compared to magento 1.

@ramendra88 re speed, have you checked out the following threads: #1726, #2999, #2824 and #2669

After installing magento successfully, it has not installed static files so it takes time for a lot of 404 not found error.
I had to run this command

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

so we will have the admin & frontend theme installed correctly.

@inkxe-ramendra any update?

i have tried everything found on the web and sill painful loading... its not possible to do front end work with 30+ second reloading page

@GanchoDanailov did you setup varnish?

its terribly slow on local host, did everything on php.in config, tried to apply manythings but at the ends it terribly slow.

Indeed M2 is very slow on localhost, I have manage to lessen the sluggishness by increasing php memory limit, for test site it's recommended to set it into 2G from .htaccess file

wow setting memory_limit = 2g makes a world of difference

php_value memory_limit 2G
makes my Magento2 admin to load much faster,

It was just loading and loading before and gives connection time out.

I thought I would drop my experiences here for google since this came up in a search for me in trying to figure out my slowdown. Admin pages taking 30s - 1m to load in M2.1.4.

I had switched to developer mode to debug an extension. Afterward I switched back to production mode and it threw an error at the setup:static-content:deploy (this always has at least one error since clean install and it's always with a translation routine even though I have nothing needing it).

Doing a php bin/magento deploy:mode:status said it was in production mode. However after much searching I had a hunch to try running the mode set again without compiling... e.g. php bin/magento deploy:mode:set -s production

Boom everything fast again. So it appears it thought it was in production mode as evidenced by the status, however it really wasn't since it errored on the static content deploy and didn't fully complete the mode set command... yet managed to set the status. Pretty buggy if you ask me. But this fixed the issue with being super slow for me.

Hi @twistedatrocity,

Admin pages taking 30s - 1m to load in M2.1.4

Are you using PHP 7? It is like x3 times faster than PHP 5.6 and I see no reason use the latter for development nowadays.

Afterward I switched back to production mode and it threw an error

In such case it would be not superfluous to check current mode with show command. There is also default mode which may be pretty slow for initial requests.

Hi I agree with @twistedatrocity ..

  1. running php bin/magento deploy:mode:set -s production made it much faster than before.
  2. I couldn't find the .htaccess to change

Now it is working as a charm

Magento 2 is not slow by default. To improve it speed and performance these steps are required:

  • Server and System Requirements
  • Update Magento Version
  • Enable Varnish Cache
  • Configure Memcached
  • Enable Flat Categories and Products
  • Optimize Javascript and CSS
  • Content Delivery Network
  • Bug-Free Extensions
  • Images Should be Fully Optimized

I had this problem after importing database from other server. Problem was that some triggers in database had set definer on other user then i set in Magento connection to database. I had this other user created but i decide to change this to default user. After that admin panel start to work as normal.
That was weird because developer toolbar didn't show problem with db rather with layout

Implementing production mode will let you take advantage of CSS and JavaScript merging and minifying which makes a truly drastic improvement to your stores performance. Coupled with PHP7 w/ PHP-FPM Magento 2 absolutely flies.

Follow this guide for easy and proper deployment of production mode: http://www.codealist.net/magento-2-moving-to-production-mode/

Just access magento server via ssh and run following command
php bin/magento deploy:mode:set -s production made
and your site will run much faster

Hello. Came across this issue which I had too. If you the issue is still not solved, check out this article https://onilab.com/blog/magento-admin-back-end-slow/
It's up-to-date and helped me a lot.

Years later and magento 2 continues extremally slowly on localhost. Docker, varnish, Mac...
Nothing make magento 2 fast.

Plsase see the previous comments which provide solutions.

Also Xdebug and too few resources make it slow. See https://blackfire.io for a debugging solution.
