# Interactive table is slow, times out, or never loads

**What you are seeing**

The interactive table is slow, times out, or never loads

---

## Why it happens

The whole sheet is fetched in one request and filtered in the browser; there is no paging.

---

## What to do

Use a smaller sheet, or switch to "Read-only sheet", which embeds Smartsheet's own view instead of loading rows.
