When to use deferRender

lenamtl

Hi,

I just want to make sure I understand correctly

We can use deferRender only if data are comming from Ajax request.

Or if the data is Javascript sourced using data.

Ok thanks

So if the data is loaded from PHP MySQL request let say on page load, no Ajax, no JS this would not apply for this case, this will not make any difference..

Correct. In this case you are supplying a DOM based table which Datatables will need to process. all rows to build the data cache.
