I tend to work on my WP site on my local my site and not on my website directly so that I could work on the changes and experiment with whatever plugins that I wanted too and when I am satisfied with the result. I would then backup the WP file and migrate to my website to go live. In this way, I could take all the time I want to make the changes without affecting the live website.

To work on your local PC, you would need to install Bitnami.

TurnKey Linux is a solid option for testing Word Press sites. Basically download the ISO and run the install on a virtual machine or any older PC you have running around. It only needs 512MB of RAM to run. TurnKey Linux WordPress is a reasonable size ISO and won't take forever to download.  There are a lot of other prepackaged servers like Joomla, Drupal, Ruby on Rails, PHPBB, NAS, etc. Setup is a lot simpler than installing LAMP stack then setting up MySQL and installing wordpress. I tried to follow a tutorial for a 10 minute Word Press install turned into about an hour. I kept getting a lot of errors and finally just used a prepackaged distro.

I have been working with wordpress for quite a while and have noticed when installing elementor theme it doesn't work on some pcs as it load for quite a while so the secret behind it is you go to elementor plugin and go to advance and enable the switch then try loading elementor again it works 100%

I use Laragon for developing WordPress websites locally. It has many features that come handy while developing WordPress websites. Moreover, Laragon also has an environment to build PHP projects.
