PhpStorm takes FOREVER to show saved changes during 'php artisan serve'. Any "fix"?

90 Views Asked by At

I am getting really irritated by how PhpStorm does things.

I'm serving the application doing php artisan serve and then I'm editing the files within PhpStorm IDE. I made it so that I have to manually save it, because I just hate the autosave features of PhpStorm.

Anyways, whenever I make changes to a webpage and save, it takes AGES (okay maybe like 15-30 seconds. But that's a relatively long duration) for it to actually show up on my local server when viewing on Chrome (And it can't be a caching issue since I use CTRL+F5 to clear the cache).

Like I literally can stop php artisan serve and then restart php artisan serve to see the changes before it updates by itself...

Why is this so? What IDE do you recommend me using, if this is something I have to live with using PhpStorm?

(I'm editing a Laravel Framework app, on a Bitnami WAMPstack.)
