You have the nice option to display a table only after it is fully loaded.
It's a good option, but I see 2 porblems that it would be great if you can address:
1) For long tables it takes time to load (especialy on mobiles), The user don't understands what he is waiting for. It woulod be great to show a measage like "Table is bein loaded" with a rotating animation or a progretion bar.
2) When the table does apear there is a big layout shift. This is not good for 2 reasons. a) User experience. b) Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) is now a google ranking factor and pages with your tables gets a very low CLS score. It would be better to make a placeholder for the table (Can be a good match with the first improovment I mentioned).
When "Hide until loaded" on the Display tab is enabled, there should be a loader. Our developers said they will look into this and fix it for one of our future updates.
