Hi,
a created a page with a Repeater for my Collection that will eventually reach the 500 to 600 items.
I have now 34 items and il is relatively slow refreshing the page with the data (±8 seconds) on a PC and much more on an Ipad Air 1 (± 15 seconds).
I suspect the refresh time will increase as the number of items will grow.
Is there anything that can be done to speed up the refresh time?
I read something about processing on the server side but do not know how to use it. It seems
complicated and on the page where the Repeater is located, there is no code specific for the Repeater.
Thank you for any advices.

Hello …
Is there a specific reason why you would 500 or 600 items displayed at the same time?
Thinking of user experience, people don’t really like to spend time scrolling through so many options.
Users prefer a multi filter/search bar in order to refine the results so they don’t spend to much time browsing.
Perhaps you may consider adding a search filter instead? (It will still search through your entire database collection, whether it’s 500 items or 5,000 items. The difference will be … how many items will be displayed at one time.)
Nayali,
thank you for your feedback.
If I have a choice, I would prefer to show the whole list in the repeater. People do not know each other and it will be a nice thing for them to scan through the list.
May be, a buotton for each letter of the alphabet would also still be ok. There may be some letters that will have a few dozens but I think it will work.
I will see what I can do…
Is it true that we can run some code on the server side? If so, is it applicable to repeaters?
Thank you!

Hi,
I have switch from a repeater to a table to display my 400+ items. The performance is much much better then with a repeater.
Now I am facing with the same problem I had experiencedway back and that I fixed using a repeater.
In a table, there is no way to make the email address clickable. I tried to define it as Text, URL, Rich Text nothing makes it clickable.
On the repeater, if we define the field as a Text field, it is clickable.
Please help
Any tricks for me?

Hi,
I did test the table with 500 items and it is really performing compare to a Repeater.
The only things that I have to fix is the fact that email adresses are not clickables as per my previous post.
This has to be fixed or bypassed so members would be capable of sending an email just by clicking the field (link).
Can someone help me with this?

Hi everyone,
I really need help trying to make an email clickable in a Wix table.
What I did so far:
- Want to display my whole Collection at once
- Because of Repeater’s performance rendering items, I really want to use a Table.
- Tried with Text field - not clickable
- Tried with Rich text - not clickable
- Tried with URL - not clickable
There must be a way to do it
Thank you
