I’m seeing an odd behavior connecting to a development webserver running on my local machine.

When I connect to http://192.168.1.14 (my ip) everything loads fast (sub 200ms for a page + 20 resources, an expected result).

When I connect to http://localhost I get 5 second load times for the same page and what I see when I profile the page using Chrome is:

  • 1st page, ~1 sec connection time (varies from 0.98 to 1.02), then loads fast
  • The next 3 resources have a ~1 sec connection time then load fast.
  • The next 6 then wait ~1 sec connection time (after the last group loaded) then load fast.
  • This pattern repeats its self in batches of 6 resources until everything is loaded.

Any ideas on this? Where could the 1 sec connection time delay be coming from?

I’m referencing “Connection Time” from the resource profile graph provided in the Google Chrome Developer Tools. For example, one resource shows:

Proxy:      0ms
DNS Lookup: 1ms
Connecting: 1.00s
Sending:    0ms
Waiting:    3ms
Receiving:  2ms

    I had a similar problem recently.

    The problem was that I had configured a proxy server in Windows’ proxy settings and every request went through the proxy even though I had explicitly enabled the option “Bypass proxy server for local addresses”. Apparently this setting was not working or didn’t do what I expected.

    So I went ahead and configured an exception for localhost in the advanced proxy settings. Now everything from my development server loads pretty fast.
