Slow Performance

    I am experiencing difficulty with a table I have created that has grown to 240 rows, 6 columns in the WordPress Admin Console. When editing my Table ID: 1 the browser becomes extremely slow and sluggish. I’ve tested on multiple computers\ Web Browsers with the same result. I’ve exported the table to a .CSV which consists of a file size of 33KB which is not very large, yet it brings any web browser to a crawl.

    Previous to this, I had experienced a problem where TablePress was not allowing me to create any further row entries in my table. To which I had to increase the Memory_Limit from 32MB to 128MB in the MultiPHP.ini. This doesn’t make any sense, it shouldn’t require more memory resources for working with a 33KB TablePress file.

    There seems to be some serious performance issues while using TablePress from the admin portal. I was hoping some type of optimizations can be done for it to work more efficiently? My main concern is just very slow performance navigating my table with 240 rows and 6 columns from the WordPress admin portal. It is almost unusable.

    The end user experience on the website seems to work just fine. Smaller tables with less rows seem to work just fine in the TablePress Admin Portal as well. My Table Press data fields consist of plain text and hyperlinks only. I am puzzled as to why it is running so slow?

    Kind Regards,
    Paul

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this usually is the large number of text input fields when editing large tables. All browsers have problems managing that large number of fields, unfortunately. There is no solution to this at this time, unfortunately, but I’m working on completely restructuring the “Edit” screen, so that this will be faster in the future.

    In the meantime, a good workaround might be to edit the table e.g. in Excel and then save it as a CSV file, which can again be imported into TablePress.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thank you for the prompt reply and I look forward to seeing the future update. In the meantime I’ll try the manual Excel Import approach.

    Best Regards,

    I wanted to follow up with regard to my performance problems. While I was testing with Chrome and Internet Explorer with poor performance with large tables I have since tried FireFox and what a world of difference that has made. Firefox seems to handle large tables much better than the previous mentioned browsers. It is totally usable now using Firefox. I am not sure why or how Firefox handles this better, but it does.

    Hi,

    yes, the browser handle this very differently. A while a go, Internet Explorer/Edge was the fastest with large tables, but it seems that Firefox is catching up.
