Can Using paginate() Affect Performance? 🤔

When you need to show data in a table, you usually use paginate() to split the data into pages.

In this post, I’ll explain the difference between paginate() and cursorPaginate() in simple terms because sometimes using one over the other can impact how fast your site runs.

1️⃣ cursorPaginate()

• It uses where to fetch data and split it into pages.
• It only allows you to go to the next and previous pages, without showing page numbers.
• This method is best for large amounts of data and works well for infinite scrolling (like when you keep scrolling down and more data loads).

2️⃣ paginate()

• It uses limit and offset to split data into pages.
• It shows you page numbers, along with next and previous buttons.
• If you have a lot of data, this method can slow down your site, and the more data you have, the slower it gets.
