Hi guys,
I would like to avoid another generic "how to speed up DT" question, so I'll be as specific as possible.
My DT has ~5000 rows and takes 9 seconds to load with a basic broadband connection. That's mostly because of the 5mb JSON file behind it.
I find this fast in my own typical use, but when I've shown it others, they became impatient, even if later load times (searching) are negligible.
Is there a good way to make the initial load time faster?
I read a few threads about server-side processing and they seem to involve SQL, which is an extra layer of complication for me. All I think I need in that situation is simply a PHP that processes the ajax calls and passes the data from JSON (also protecting it in the process from being saved in the clientes — bonus points).
What is everyone else doing?
Thanks
