15. Performance and large catalogues
The grid has two modes and picks one by Server-side threshold:
- Up to the threshold, the whole catalogue loads once; searching, sorting and filtering are then instant.
- Above it, the grid loads page by page from the server; better for large catalogues.
If the page is slow: lower the threshold, lower Page size, hide columns you do not need, choose a smaller Image size, and check for heavy scripts or CSS added by other plugins on the grid page.
