I think that my server became slow since I installed XDebug. So, in order to test my hypothesis I want to disable XDebug completely. I've been searching for tutorials on how to do this but I can't find such information.
Find your php.ini
and look for XDebug.
Set xdebug autostart to false
xdebug.remote_autostart=0
xdebug.remote_enable=0
Disable your profiler
xdebug.profiler_enable=0
Note that there can be a performance loss even with xdebug disabled but loaded. To disable loading of the extension itself, you need to comment it in your php.ini. Find an entry looking like this:
zend_extension = "/path/to/php_xdebug.dll"
and put a ;
to comment it, e.g. ;zend_extension = …
.
