django-pagination-performance

Improve Django and Django REST Framework pagination for large querysets using bounded page sizes, stable ordering, indexed ordering, offset limits, keyset pagination, DRF CursorPagination, and count-query tradeoffs. Use when list pages, admin views, APIs, exports, or infinite scroll become slow, inconsistent, or memory-heavy as result sets grow.

# Django Pagination Performance

Use this skill when a Django list view or API slows down as pages get deeper or result sets grow. Pagination is a query-design problem as much as a response-shaping problem.

## Workflow

1. Confirm the list contract.
   - Is arbitrary page access required, or only next/previous?
   - Does the UI need a total count?
   - Can ordering be fixed and stable?
   - What page size limit is acceptable?

2. Measure the current query.
   - Capture SQL for the page query and count query.
