Hello, I have a question on XAMPP's outgoing behavior. I am using XAMPP for hosting wordpress locally and use it as theme development environment.
I have noticed that whenever I browse my local wordpress the "local area connection" icon sitting near the clock, indicates data transfer.
I have also noticed that when I am downloading something at maximum speed, pages from localhost used to be loaded very slowly as if it is getting opened from the internet and not from my harddisk.
What actually these mean? Are the pages of localhost going out of my pc to some other direction and then from there getting back to my pc?
If so, then is it normal?
If it is not normal, what can I do to stop that?
Are the localhost pages going to my ISP's server?
Can they know the urls of my local wordpress like http://localhost/wordpress/I-do-not-like-mango ?
Waiting to give thanks to one or more wise men!!!
Please enlighten me.
