## Description

`I’m having a loading issue where my site lags heavily in loading my CMS items based on an advanced search page at `[https://www.carrollmediacenter.org/search-results`](https://www.carrollmediacenter.org/search-results%60). This is using attributes v1 from the Finsweet demo video, I was looking for an attributes v2 cloneable/walkthrough to try to re-implement it w/ v2 and see if I can improved the load time but haven’t been able to find a demo that is the same with this many different filtering options (There are thousands of CMS items). `

## Site URL

**Required:** Please provide a staging/production URL where we can see the issue

- [Search Results](https://www.carrollmediacenter.org/search-results)

## Steps to Reproduce

1. Watch “Showing X” results on left slowly count up  
…

## Expected Behavior

There are about 3000 items to load, I had expected it to load faster.

## Actual Behavior

It takes over a minute sometimes to load all items.

Hey @emily!

Migrating from Attributes v1 to v2 will definitely improve load times.

You can check out a live List Load + List Filter demo here:  
👉 [List Filter for Webflow - Standard Filter](https://attributes-list-filter.webflow.io/standard)

Keep in mind that v1 and v2 can’t be used on the same page, so a full migration is required.

For large lists with thousands of items, we recommend using Pagination mode, enable Page Count and set a low value (around 25 items per page) for optimal performance.

I’ve got this up and running on attributes V2 here:

> **[Video Library](https://www.accessfram.tv/vod)**

I’m still seeing slow load times and have pagination set to load 25 items at a time.

Hey @emily!

This is my view when loading the page in a fresh incognito tab 🤔

Could you share a quick video from your view, please?

I hard refreshed and am seeing much better load speeds now. I’ll test this out on the site that has a few thousand and report back, hopefully it will be just as quick! Thanks so much!!!
