Compendium lists take too long to load

I have several add-ons in the compendium.  When I try to load the spells list or monsters list, it takes forever, and often hangs my computer.  I usually resort to trying to select a filter in the first few seconds, while the menus are interactable but it hasn't yet ground to a halt.  I asked over on the usage questions board, and was told this issue is unfixable with the current settings, and experienced by others with compendium add-ons.  It would seem like this issue could be solved if you could limit the number of items displayed after a query -- or let us filter results before the query is sent.
to be clear, I'm speaking of these lists, accessed outside of a given campaign:&nbsp;<a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters%20List#h-Monsters%20List" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters%20List#h-Monsters%20List</a>

Yeah, have this problem big-time, I suspect it's due to some "join" in an effort to make a single table out of multiple tables, not sure how to speed that up honestly, as between the pulls and the sorts there are a lot of data entries, not sure if the sorting is being done server or client side.&nbsp;

The forums are primarily users helping users, I suggest filing a report via the Help Center . Make sure when you reference the compendium you clarify that it is the website compendium, not the VTT compendium.&nbsp;
I have this issue as well and have been very disappointed in the load time of compendium content. The more content purchased the slower it seems the compendium loads content. I have disabled extensions, different browsers,&nbsp; my PC is a 64 GB RAM i7 8 COURE processor.&nbsp; Internet is consistently 900mbps&nbsp; down and 200mbps upload.&nbsp; Have opened tickets and forum posts in the past and always pointed towards performance troubleshooting steps that were already done.&nbsp; IMHO it is poor code and minimal attention paid to the performance of the compendium.&nbsp; &nbsp;Would love to see this fixed as I am reluctant to move to another platform but it is painful.&nbsp;
