Super slow TablePress work or bigger tables and mobile (10 sec load time)

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

That page/table is actually loading quite fast for me (only very few seconds).

The perceived slowness could have several reasons: 700 rows is of course quite some data that has to be transmitted, which can take a few moments on a slow connection. The execution of the DataTables JS functions will also take a bit as all those rows have to be processed. This is probably most noticable on a phone, with their small processors.

You could maybe try to turn the DataTables JS library off, but other than that, I can only really suggest to look into other optimizations for the site, like advanced use of caching, etc. I’m not aware of direct optimizations for faster loading of that table, unfortunately ?? Sorry for not having better news here.

The above doesn’t applies for mobile. I just tested that. When I’ve installed W3TC on the computer Web is fast enough, but even on great mobile (HTML5 Windows 8.1 Nokia Lumia 1020) it loads for 30 seconds, and on slower phone (HTML5, Samsung Galaxy Y Duos, Android OS) it newer loads at all.

To ensure you the difference I used EXACTLY THE SAME PAGE, just home page is with 700 rows in TablePress, and this DEMO page is with 90 rows in TablePress.

I’ve enabled/disabled DataTables JS, and that didn’t helped.

Homepage loads in 30 seconds on my phone (700 rows in TablePress):

Demo page loads in 3 seconds (90 rows in TablePress):

What about changing to Ajax loading if there is more than 100 rows in table? DataTables team adviced that.

Q. DataTables is running slow. How can I speed it up?
A. There are several ways in which you can speed up DataTables. The method you are using for loading the data will typically have the most significant impact on performance.

Client-side processing – DOM sourced data: ~5’000 rows. Speed options: orderClassesDT.
Client-side processing – Ajax sourced data (ajaxDT): ~50’000 rows. Speed options: deferRenderDT
Server-side processing (serverSideDT): millions of rows.

Hi,

I’m really sorry that this happens on your site, but I just can’t see how we can easily change this ??
I just tried on my (old) Android phone, on a mobile connection, and it indeed was not superfast, but the data simply has to be transmitted and processed… There are many images in your table which have to be loaded, and that’s one HTTP request each.

Changing to that AJAX loading would indeed be great, but unfortunately, TablePress does not yet support that. I simply haven’t found a good way to implement this ??
