Speed Boost
I want a supercharged speed boost
See how it works
see webflow attributes
Enable "Show page count" in Webflow's native pagination settings to activate.

No attribute needed.

Increase the speed of your loaded pages by enabling the native Webflow pagination page count option. The page count element can be visible or hidden on the page. With this setting enabled Attributes can optimize your load based on your page count.

By setting this feature you get a 100% improvement for every 4 pages.

4 pages = 200% faster
8 pages = 300% faster
12 pages = 400% faster
16 pages = 500% faster
.....
Where?
Select the native Webflow pagination button. Go to the "Settings" panel for that button element. Select "Show page count". This element can be hidden with display: none.

PAGINATION
I want to use a "pagination" effect for the Collection List
See how it works

Add this attribute
Description
Name
fs-cmsload-mode
copy icon
Value
pagination
copy icon
This option enables same-page pagination for your Collection List.

The "Next" and "Previous" buttons in the native Webflow pagination settings will be used as the "Next" and "Previous" pagination buttons for this option. Style them as needed to fit your design.

IMPORTANT: It is required that native Webflow pagination is enabled for your Collection List. This can be done in Settings of the Collection List.

Warning: Wrapping pagination buttons may result in the "Previous" button disappearing from your site, please avoid using any additional wrapper.

LOAD UNDER
I want to use a "load under" effect for the Collection List
See how it works
see webflow attributes
Add this attribute
Description
Name
fs-cmsload-mode
copy icon
Value
load-under
copy icon
This option loads more items on the page under the existing items when the "Next" button is clicked.

The "Next" button in the native Webflow pagination settings will be used as the button that performs the "load-under" functionality. Style it as needed to fit your design.

IMPORTANT: It is required that native Webflow pagination is enabled for your Collection List. This can be done in Settings of the Collection List.
Where?
Add to an element with fs-cmsload-element = "list"

Option
RENDER ALL
I want to render all items in the CMS Collection
See how it works
see webflow attributes
Add this attribute
Description
Name
fs-cmsload-mode
copy icon
Value
render-all
copy icon
This option is usually not required. Pagination is equally as powerful without the rendering. Please understand it.

This option renders all of the items in your Collection. This loads and renders more than the 100 item limit in a single Collection List.

For example, if you have 5,488 items in your Collection, all 5,488 will load and render on the page.

IMPORTANT: It is required that native Webflow pagination is enabled for your Collection List. This can be done in Settings of the Collection List.

** EXTRA IMPORTANT: Please be mindful of what you are loading. Loading thousands of items to the page may not be a good experience for your users, especially those on mobile connections. You should only use this option when it's required for your project. Consider "pagination" instead of "render-all". The "pagination" option is more performant when used with CMS Filter.

fs-cmsload-threshold
copy icon
Value
-20
copy icon
This option sets the threshold value in vh for when items in infinite load are loaded. Default value is -20.

The threshold value is relative to the distance between the bottom of the list and the bottom of the viewport.

Examples:

fs-cmsload-threshold = "-20" : The list will load items when there is a -20vh difference between the bottom of the list and the bottom of the window.

fs-cmsload-threshold = "50": The list will load items when there is a 50vh difference between the bottom of the list and the bottom of the window.

Disable caching
I want to disable caching for loaded items
See how it works
see webflow attributes
Add this attribute
Description
Name
fs-cmsload-cache
copy icon
Value
false

By default, CMS Load caches the fetched documents for performance, and the cache doesn't expire until the site is re-published.

There are some times where you might want to opt out of this behavior, like when you programatically update your CMS Collections via the Webflow CMS API without manually publishing the site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this attributes solution.

This is Native behavior, you will get this with either native load more or attributes, each page query combination returns html that contains the Collection Items for that specific page of the Collection. If you are worried about crawling, you could try to add rel=nofollow to the Next and Previous buttons and submit your sitemap.xml to Google Search Console so the bots can still discover the Collection Items from there.

This is not posible because load under relies on webflow´s native pagination to work

Yes. If you are using attributes, CMS Filter will work with CMS Load.
