Django server-side and client-side pagination with Datatables

Question

This might sound like a stupid question so apologies in case I'm wasting your time. I have a tons or results coming from my data in my Django project. It's a table with many columns and almost 4000 rows. I am using Datatables for pagination, filtering, horizontal scrolling, sorting the columns.

Client-side (I meant server-side) I am also using django-filter for querying the database.

My problem is that the loading of the initial data (non filtered via django-filter) takes a lot of time. Shall I implement pagination on the client-side (I meant server-side)? If so, how does this work with Datatables? Will Datatables paginate/display only the (first page of) paginated data coming from the server-side query? Is there a way for the two to work together?

Thanks.
