Hey @dylan!

I am afraid I cannot replicate the issue on my end :sweat_smile:

The page takes at most ~4 seconds to load the filtered list. One option you may try is to decrease the number of items per page to increase our page count.

We can also mask the load time with a loading element

Hey @Support-Luis thanks for checking. Copy/paste this exact URL in an incognito browser. It’s still taking 30 seconds to load on a fast internet connection: Our Full Collection | Moattar

I added a loader previously, and the loader attribute only worked for one or two seconds and then disappeared for the remaining 27 seconds. That’s part of the reason I know something weird is going on here… it’s not just a slow load. Does that make sense?

Hey @dylan, I recorded the process here. First and only take, so there is no cached data or anything

Also attaching my connection speed test.

If you can wait, this issue might be solved by upgrading to Attributes V2 once we launch. We have made some serious performance optimizations.

If not, could you try reducing the number of items per page in the Webflow pagination settings?

Thanks @Support-Luis for taking the time to look at it. I continued having issues so decided to use Jetboost instead for this one and it’s working great. Looking forward to Attributes v2!
