Load the table data from a JSON array for faster loading.
This feature module is part of the TablePress Max plan.
For large tables, frontend table loading can be slow, as a large chunk of HTML code has to be loaded and parsed. The “Advanced Loading” module can make this faster by instead rendering the table from a more lightweight JSON data format.
Feature description
This table, with 1,000 rows, is not loaded from HTML code but from JSON data and therefore initializes faster. This can bring high speed gains especially for large tables!
