SPO - Document Library (modern page experience) has extreme slow loading when grouping on a property
Hi,
I have a document library where modern page experience is enabled, but when opening a grouped view it takes up to 10-20 seconds before all groups are visible.
So the init page load shows 2 groups (the first one is expanded) and after 10-20 seconds the other groups appear.
Any ideas how I can improve the loading of the other groups? Or is it a common bug/feature :)
Thx in advance!

@Yannick Borghmans I'm having the same experience (2 years later). I have not experienced this sort lag in the Classic Experience on the same site. I wonder how much of this is the overhead required by using the React Framework or unoptimized JavaScript.
I'm working on a Proof-of-Concept in a free O365 E3 Dev License with over 450 documents. I'm hoping that this is due to potentially less resources given to the Dev environments. Were you on a Prod environment having these issues? "Group By" enabled in Views in Modern Experiences is not usable while I'll be trying to sell SharePoint for User Adoption. I will be forced to use Folders. :(
I'm also using Group By in the view and also the "Content Type" workaround: "/DocLibrary/Forms/View.aspx?groupBy=ContentType"
It's just clunky in Modern Experiences.
IMHO, there are not many things you can do to remediate this....I recommend you to open a support ticket so Microsoft can check if there is a problem in the farm were your tenant is located. Other thing you could do is to add indexes in the library. By the way, adding LincolnDeMaris
