Speed up loading for large tables

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

No, sorry, it simply takes some time to send all the table data to the browser and then process the JavaScript ??
You could maybe turn that off (by unchecking the “Use DataTables” checkbox on the table’s “Edit” screen).

Thanks for such a speedy reply ?? Turning off is not an option since my primary reason for using your great plugin was for table sorting/filtering features. Backed also quite slow, takes around 20s to load single table with 1k rows while front-end around 10s+ Here’s the page: https://tiny.cc/780gyx

Hi,

yeah, in this table, evaluating the JS for the sorting, search, etc., and especially the ColumnFilterWidgets will take a couple moments.

The problem on the “Edit” screen is a different one: There, the high number of text input fields is a lot for the browser to manage, so that the browser will get slow. I do have some ideas to make this faster in the future, e.g. by only turning the actual/currently edited field in a text field, but that will still take some time.
Meanwhile, a possible work around could to do the actual editing of this table locally on your computer (e.g. in Excel), after exporting it from TablePress as a CSV file. Then, after making changes to that file, just re-import it into TablePress, choosing to replace the existing version.
