Tell us what you are trying to do?

Hi, how I was guessing in the very beginning is now a reality. If you go to hidden link you have to wait until 40 seconds until the page is loaded! The biggest problem is that the page delivers 229 request and 4447 DOM knots, most of it are the 215 pictures of the 215 skis that are shown.

To reduce the loading time the most simpe way would be to show a maximum of 12-20 skis.
How can I limit the items shown of the custom search page. Right at the moment all items are shown!

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

I have tried the URL you mentioned above, there isn't similar problem as you mentioned above:
you have to wait until 40 seconds until the page is loaded

The HTML codes loads in 3 seconds, see screenshot: load-time2.JPG

And there is a document about "How to Use Views Custom Search on Large Sites"
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-page-filters/how-to-use-views-parametric-search-on-large-sites/

For your reference.

Hi

Thank you for your good will.
The loading time was just an explanation to get a solution.
My question actually was how can I maximize the items per page, how do I get a pagination within the startpage, so not everybody has to wait for all the items. As I sad Google complains about to many DOM knots, etc.
I want to limit the items to be shown and also the result of the search must have a page of maxium 20 items and then the other results appear on different pages. How can I fix that?

There is built-in pagination feature within Views plugin, see our document:

https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-pagination/

In your case, you can also enable the AJAX pagination settings, see screenshot:
hidden link

This should be able to reduce the requests

Thank you very much that worked, but the next problems seems to appear: There are no pages to appear!
I choose now 32 items of the 215 items, that causes now 8 lines, but the visitor cannot change the pages!

Please check these:
1) You are following our document to setup the pagination links:
https://toolset.com/documentation/beyond-the-basics/paginate-lists-of-content/#pagination-controls

2) If the problem still persists, you can provide a test site with the same problem, also point out the problem page URL and view URL, I can setup a demo for you
