# Dashboard feels sluggish past ten thousand questions

Asked by Jane Cooper on 2026-05-27 · 33 votes

Our workspace has grown a lot and the question list now takes several seconds to load. Are there indexes or pagination settings we can tune?

Filtering by category and status before scrolling helped us a lot, the unfiltered all-questions view is what gets slow, not the filtered ones.

That workaround is real for now. We are aware the unfiltered view does not scale well past that size and a pagination rework is in progress.

Bookmarking the filtered URL saves having to reapply the filters every time too.

Filtering by category first is the move for us too, cut load time noticeably.

The pagination rework mentioned here would help us a lot, we are at close to fifteen thousand questions now.
