I can’t imagine [Topic List Previews (TLP)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews-theme-component/209973) with pagination! 🐌  
@DGForum if you need a demo of how fast data can load, take a look at my site which is above basic spec: [StarZen: The Unofficial Star Citizen Community](https://starzen.space/):

Scroll down and see how quickly things are loaded (assuming you have good connection). Note how it is image heavy so first time may be a little slower. Once images are cached after first visit, it is _very_ fast.
