Optimizing PHP Performance for My XAMPP Environment

[tysonzach]

Hello there,

I'm relatively new to web development and have recently set up a local development environment using XAMPP for PHP projects. While I've managed to get everything up and running smoothly, I'm beginning to notice some performance issues, particularly when handling larger datasets or running more complex scripts.

I've done some research on optimizing PHP performance, but I'm finding it challenging to navigate through the wealth of information available online. I'm reaching out to this community for some guidance on best practices or specific tweaks I can apply to my XAMPP setup to improve PHP performance.

Some specific questions I have include:

Are there any configuration settings within XAMPP or PHP itself that can help optimize performance?
Are there any recommended tools or plugins for monitoring and fine-tuning performance in a local development environment?
