 * Hello,
 * We have a large table (8220 rows x 9 column) and initial webpage loadtime for
   the table is approx. 10-15 seconds. I’m assuming the delay is due to the vast
   amount of data, however has anyone had success with using optimization plugins
   or tips they could share to reduce the load time?
 * Thanks,
    Christopher
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fslow-initial-table-load%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, this is due to the amount of data. Unfortunately, I don’t have tips for 
   making this faster, sorry 🙁 It simply takes time for the data to be sent to 
   the browser and for the JavaScript code to process it.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * Thank you for the confirmation. We can get by with the short delay.
 * Additionally this week I’ve learned several site visitors using Internet Explorer/
   Edge (including myself when tested) are experiencing nearly 1 minute load times
   for JavaScript features such as the search and filters to become available. In
   some instances, users are prompted with a warning message; “xxx.com is not responding
   due to a long-running script”. Is there anything I can do to address this, or
   just recommend visitors use an alternative browser? Is Internet Explorer historically
   finicky with WordPress and/or TablePress?
 * Thanks,
    Christopher

 * Hi Christopher,
 * unfortunately, I’m not aware of solutions to speed this up, sorry.
    And yes, 
   recommending other browsers is a good idea here. I wouldn’t say that Internet
   Explorer is “historically finicky with WordPress and/or TablePress” – but with
   the web in general 🙂

 * Hi,
 * I do not know much about plugin programming, but a solution could be in loading
   only parts of the table just in time as you navigate through it.
 * Please consider this as a feature request.
 * Thx, Issog

 * Hi,
 * yes, that’s basically what the plan here is. Unfortunately, this is not easy 
   to implement 🙁
 * Regards,
