Which table type do you have on your website? How big are they?
Big non-server-side tables (linked to Google Spreadsheets, Excel, CSV, etc) are slower to load because the entire table is rendered on the page. Only server-side tables have the ability to load large tables fast (but if that goes above several thousand rows, they too can get slower).
If you have a small table (up to 1.000) rows on the page, and the page load is slow, you need to take a look at your server's performance, and maybe increase memory on it. Also, try clearing your cache.
Tables themselves are indexable by Google and other search engines, but only the first page of the table. If the table is set to show only 10 rows per page, only those 10 rows will be indexable.
Hi,
Last question :). I have a few remarks on using wpTables on a website:
- It takes a lot of time to load.
- Tables are not shown as clean html tables
- Table data is not shown in Google search; and in case of Table updates not seen as updates to the website (so downscore in Google)
Do you have any tips or tricks - or can you tell me if there is any development on this?
Please let me know.
Regards,
Ruben
Hello Ruben

The plugin's front-end is built around DataTables jQuery plugin, and it's not clean HTML.
Tables themselves are indexable by Google and other search engines, but only the first page of the table. If the table is set to show only 10 rows per page, only those 10 rows will be indexable.
For example, if you search for this on Google:
Paseo Low 3,945 10 7 27,615 276.15 27,338.85 19,725 7,613.85 01/
You will see our Financial table show up in the search results.
